It shouldn’t be possible to look intimidating sipping tea in a stained apron, but Zelladine’s eyes are rich and knowing and her smile is full of secrets.

“You are accustomed to thinking of fairy tales as make-believe.” Dr. Bastille looked straight at me as she said it, her face somehow both searing and compassionate. “But they have only ever been mirrors.”

I don’t think I’ve ever heard a person speak with so many implied exclamation points. It’s exhausting.

Lol what
