Cinder Quote by Marissa Meyer
““I'm sorry," said Cinder. "We should have tried to be more discreet with our plans." Scarlet shook her head. "It's not your fault. Kai's travel schedule is pretty much public knowledge, so there was no stopping this, I'm afraid." She snorted. "Just be glad you weren't here to see the hoard of screaming girls when he arrived.””
