“Danny had always wanted to know why things were the way they were, and how they worked. When he was five years old, he’d gotten into serious trouble by taking apart some household appliances to see how they functioned, making a complete mess of the gear train inside the can opener and shorting out the cake mixer. At the library, he borrowed books on engineering and science. He could claim, with some justification, to have a decent understanding of how the physical and mathematical worlds worked.
People were another thing entirely; he often had difficulty understanding why they did what they did. Two people in particular had him completely perplexed: Daniel Flanigan and Carlotta Pirelli.”

“Indeed, Rosamund’s author seemed to have a talent for ignoring things that didn’t fit in with her bizarre and often clichéd plans.”

“One shared bowl of popcorn and a three-minute drive later, Danny pulled into an empty driveway and dropped Carly off at home, finishing the evening with a big good-night kiss on her front step. He was pretty sure he’d gotten a passing grade on this evening’s boyfriend exam.”
