“When Kai fell silent, she risked a glance at him. He was staring at her hands [which she always holds mechanic gloves over to hide her...you know, cyborg hands]...
"Do you ever take those off?" he asked.
"No."
Kai tilted his head, peering at her as if he could see right through to the metal plate in her head..."I think you should go to the ball with me."
She clutched her fingers..."Stars," she muttered. "Didn't you already asked me that?"

Kai's lips twitched. "Please?"
"Why?"
"Why not?"

Mi poggia una mano sulla guancia. «L’hai amata dal giorno in cui si è trasferita qui. Quindi, quando la rabbia e il rancore inizieranno a prendere il sopravvento, cerca di ricordarlo.» Capisco che vorrebbe piangere, ma è troppo disidratata per riuscirci. «Non voglio lasciarti, bambino mio. Ma sto per morire, Link. E tu avrai bisogno di lei.»”

“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”

“He was the fantasy of every girl in the country. He was so far out of realm, her world, that she should have stopped thinking about him the second the door had closed. Should stop thinking about him immediately. Should never think about him again, except maybe as a client--and her prince.
And yet, the memory of his fingers against her skin refused to fade.”
