"It's after the fourteenth," he said.
"It is."
"I said I'd ask."

He didn't kneel, and he didn't lower his voice, and eight hundred people heard it.

"Burn the clause first," I said.
"Done."
"Then yes."

Kiera stood beside me in a long emerald dress, because Odessa had said it was the only color in the house that deserved an apology.
