“You are the smartest of your year. The most cunning.'
I gulp at the compliment, brushing it off. I was trained as a scribe, not a rider.
'You defended the smallest with ferocity. And strength of courage is more important than physical strength. Since you apparently need to know before we land.'
My throat tightens from his words, emotion forming a knot I have to swallow past.
Oh. Shit. I hadn't spoken those words. I'd thought them.
He can read my thoughts.
'See? Smartest of your year.'

'You'll never be alone again.'
'That sounds more like a threat than a comfort,' ...”

“We’re made of three parts, Maggie. Our mind, our heart, and our gut. When we listen to one of those parts, we lose our way. The heart isn’t cautious enough, so it leads us to try and find love where there is only emptiness. The mind is too rational, so it ignores the softer needs of the heart and doesn’t leave room for forgiveness. The gut is instinctive, but we ignore it because it causes quick flashes of reaction so deep inside that the heart and mind can easily swamp it. But it’s the gut we need to learn to listen to. It’s holds the deepest sense of what we need and will give us the quickest feeling about when something is right or wrong”

“Seriously. I’ll wager you aren’t ten years older than me.”
“I bet I am.”
“So what? So when I’m eighty, you’ll be ninety. It’s just a number.”
I relaxed on a pile of pillows on my end of the boat. Eyes closed, I enjoyed the sunshine’s warmth on my face with the intermittent quack of ducks floating on the cool breeze. “I’m just saying, I’m not sure your eighty-year-old self will enjoy being chased by a gaggle of ninety-year-old women at the old folks’ home.”
“And I’m just saying if you were there, I’d let you catch me.”
