My heart is crying out for me to figure out something, something.

She smiles out of the photograph with that twinkle in her eye, as if she knows something I don't and can't wait to tell me and laugh about it.

God knows, she's probably right.

Her woven belt and her bootlaces were moving too, and the tabs on Lethe's greaves and the links on her belt -- anything metal, even decorative metal -- and she could feel it on her back too, through the folded steel of her katana, a deep thrum, like the rumble of distant thunder, a force that pulled and yielded with a slow rhythm, a rhythm as regular as the beat of a heart.

Blake didn't get to help store Shannon's stuff after she died because his arm was broken, so this is the first time I've been in the storage space Toby rented out.

Ooh! 'Chemistry project' is code for 'the occult.'

Boreas had one last glimpse of the Dire Sapphirus as a midnight blue tentacle lifted and fell with a crash. And then it was gone.

Sarah's in the middle of a story, which Joy is too polite to interrupt, even though she's already clutching a box of Oreos.

She memorized the words in the car, repeating them over and over with Blake as we drove here, but we know there's a big difference between just saying some words and meaning them for a working.

Not like I can find Ren if he wants to hide, short of dragging him out into the street.

A harder-working, humbler man never drew breath.

I can't wait to get back to Blake and show him how annoying a figment of his imagination can be.

And on they went, heading northward through the still, hazy night.

Toby, of course, doesn't know I'm there, but Blake's working so hard to look at his father, not at me.

"Dad," he calls into the storage space, where Toby's doing one last lookover to make sure we got everything, "Joy needs me to help with a chemistry project. Can you drop me off at home so I can drive over?"
