“She tries to speak, but he licks the words from her.”
Mia Tsai, Bitter Medicine

“Luc: After hundreds of years I have found the only other terrible prospect who understands me. She's brave and funny, but she thinks she's only valued for what she can do instead of who she is. After a dramatic life event she's convinced I don't want her. I have no useful skills to benefit her, and a job that constantly disrupts my life. I'm also going to outlive her by a hundred years.

Elle: Yeah, that's pretty terrible.

Luc: Maybe even 200 years.

Elle: Don't rub it in. You can join the club. The San Francisco chapter of Terrible Prospects International.”
Mia Tsai, Bitter Medicine

“Beneath the rage is the fear, and this is what she uses to fuel her flight, dragging the power of her god and the spirits to her until she’s in a state of divinity.”
Mia Tsai, Bitter Medicine
