Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Where is there?” Tessa said. “Why do they have to be so secretive about everything? It’s not like we’re Elgen.” “Please don’t say that,” the man in the front passenger seat of the van said. It was the first time he’d spoken since we’d started driving. “Say what . . . Elgen?” Tessa said, deliberately using the word. “You never know who is listening,” the man said. Tessa groaned. “If someone was listening to us they would have already died of boredom.”
“Did you know the entire country of Taiwan could fit in the land mass of Massachusetts, yet, at one time, had more than twenty-five different languages?” “How do you know so much?” McKenna asked. “I’m a fact sponge,” Ostin said. Tessa slid down in her seat. “Someone just kill me.”
“Yeah. It was. Sleep well.” “You too.” I had just closed my eyes when Ostin blurted out, “Did you know that the first woman to win a Nobel Peace Prize was from Taiwan?” I think that could have waited until morning, I thought.
I was speechless. It was like hearing my mother was in a book club with Hitler. “You barbecued with Dr. Hatch? The man who kidnapped you and tried to kill me?”
“I love to sleep. It’s like being dead without the commitment.”
“This is a lot funner than sitting in our rooms.” “ ‘Funner’ isn’t a word,” Ostin said. “Did you understand me?” Taylor asked. Ostin blinked. “Yes.”
If a problem has a solution, to worry is no use, for in the end it will be solved. If a problem has no solution, there is no reason to worry, because it cannot be solved.”
