“Two days later, when Adeline's father returns, he comes bearing a fresh pad of parchment, and a bundle of black lead pencils, bound with string, and the first thing she does is pick the best one, and sink it down into the ground behind their garden, and pray that the next time her father leaves, she will be with him. But if the gods hear, they do not answer. She never goes to the market again.”
― V.E. Schwab, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

“You need to change your measurement."
Chef looks up from his grading. "Excuse me?"
I point to the recipe. "Your measurement of salt in the recipe, we followed it exactly. So if the dish needs more salt, you need to change your measurement."
He raises an eyebrow and as we walk to our station, Richard elbows me in the ribs. "Seriously, Emoni? You couldn't just let it go?"
I don't answer. Call me salty.”
― Elizabeth Acevedo, With the Fire on High
