Jules Albert Quotes

“My dad gave me a present once,” Nico said. “It was a zombie.”
Reyna stared at him. “What?”
“His name is Jules-Albert. He’s French.” “A...French zombie?”
“Hades isn’t the greatest dad, but occasionally he has these want-to-know-my-son moments. I guess he thought the zombie was a peace offering. He said Jules-Albert could be my chauffeur.”
The corner of Reyna’s mouth twitched. “A French zombie chauffeur.”
Nico realized how ridiculous it sounded. He never told anyone about Jules-Albert—not even Hazel. But he kept talking.
"Hades had this idea that I should, you know, try to act like a modern teenager. Make friends. Get to know the twenty-first century. He vaguely understood that mortal parents drive their kids around a lot. He couldn't do that. So his solution was a zombie."
"To take you around to the mall," Reyna said. "Or the drive-through at In-N-Out Burger."
"I suppose." Nico's nerves began to settle. "Because nothing helps you make friends faster than a rotting corpse with a French accent.”
