“What's your favorite color?”
“Blue.”
She rolled her eyes. “Boring. Mine's gold-or turquoise. Or emerald.”
“Why doesn't that surprise me?”
“Because you aren't as stupid as you look.” I didn't know whether to be insulted or flattered. She didn't give me time to decide.”

“She was burning, Reid. I don't know how, but she took away that witch's pain. She gave it to herself.” He exhaled heavily. “That's why I didn't tell you. Because even though I knew Lou was a witch, I knew she wasn't evil. She burned at the stake once. She doesn't deserve to do it twice.”

“Death couldn’t take him away from me. He was me. Our souls were bound. Even if he didn’t want me, even if I cursed his name, we were one.”

“I-I've never seen anyone savor anything the way you do everything. You make me feel alive. Just being in your presence - it's addictive. You're addictive. It doesn't matter you're a witch. The way you see the world . . . I want to see it that way too. I want to be with you always, Lou. I never want to be parted from you again.”
