Shadow Me (Shatter Me, #4.5)

by Tahereh Mafi

I don’t know how Warner feels about muffins, but I’m guessing he’s not a fan.

Warner steps inside, closes the door behind them. “Why do you insist on eating like an animal?” he snaps at me.

I still don’t think I understand Warner, but it’s obvious that something about her lights a fire in him. He looks alive when she’s in his arms. Human like I’ve never seen him before. Like he’s in love.

It doesn’t seem right that so much horrible shit should be, like, allowed to go down in such a short period of time. There should be a fail-safe in the universe somewhere, something that automatically shuts down in the event of extreme human stupidity. Maybe an emergency lever. A button, even.
