Human heart Quote by Fiona Paul
““Cass sighed. She set the letter aside too. She'd never be able to send it anyway. Falco was gone. She might never see him again.

She wrote: You may study the bodies of the living and the dead for clues about the mechanism of the muscles, the bones, and even the brain, but you can never unravel the mystery of the human heart...””
