Fixing Quote by Kiersten White
““This needs fixing, and I am the one who is going to fix it. I’m okay with that.” Arianna nodded. “But how? What are you going to do?” “I have some ideas. But first I need something in my stomach before I fall over. So let’s go eat and plot and then save the world.” David sighed, looking thoughtful. “What’s up, Dad?” Lend asked. “I’m trying to figure out if there’s any way I can lock you two in your rooms. I don’t think a simple grounding will do it.” Raquel laughed. “Good luck trying to force Evie to do anything else once she has made up her mind. She is the definition of a stubborn, headstrong teenager.” “And you love me for it.” “I do.” She hugged me, the spontaneity of the gesture surprising me. Even Lend’s expression softened slightly toward her.””
