“What care is it of yours,” Gansey asked, “what I think of Orla?”

Blue held his gaze, unflinching. Crisp, she replied, “None at all.”

“There are two kinds of guilt. The kind that's a burden and the kind that gives you purpose. Let your guilt be your fuel. Let it remind you of who you want to be. Draw a line in your mind. Never cross it again. You have a soul. It's damaged but it's there. Don't let them take it from you.”

“I left you there because I have never loved anything in my life like I love you. Not Isolde. Not the trade. Nothing.”
