First time Quote by Rachel Hawkins

““What it lacks in pizzaz, it makes up for in practicality,” I said, hoping Aislinn couldn’t hear how terrified I was. But she put her hand on my shoulder-the first time she’d ever touched me-and said, “You’ll be fine. If there’s one thing I’ve learned about you, Sophie Brannick, it’s that you are one tough little thing.” I almost sad, “Sophie Mercer.” Instead I just said, “Thanks, um, Aunt Aislinn.” She pulled her hand back. “Let’s not get carried away.” “Right, sorry.””

“Ah, Grace and Aislinn arguing.

Still, when Aislinn crossed over to the thing hanging on the wall…
