“— Je pense sincèrement que Dieu met les meilleurs à l’épreuve parce qu’il sait qu’ils peuvent le supporter, parce qu’il sait que c’est l’adversité qui forge les gens bien. Tu ne mérites pas ce qui t’est arrivé, et putain, je pourrais tuer tout le monde pour cela, mais c’est ce qui a fait de toi une battante. Une femme forte, courageuse et déterminée.

"Whatever can you mean?" Randalin says. "She's-"
"She is my wife," Cardan says, his voice carrying over the crowd.

“And Faerieland,” says Taryn, raising hers.
“And pizza,” says Oak.
“And stories,” says Heather.
“And new beginnings,” says Vivi.
Cardan smiles, his gaze on me. “And scheming great schemes.”
To family and Faerieland and pizza and stories and new beginnings and scheming great schemes. I can toast to that.”
