Different ways Quote by Marissa Meyer
““But for some reason she had left off the metal mask, and though Adrian knew he shouldn't assign it any significance, he couldn't help it. Without the mask, he still didn't see her as Nightmare. He could only see Nova. Nova, who had betrayed him a hundred different ways. But still Nova.””
