Shielded Heart (The Infinite City, #2)

“You really just mention ethics while you had a blade in someone’s throat?”

“Would it hurt to lie once in a while, if only to raise my spirits?” “Yeah. It’d hurt you.” “Couldn’t possibly be more painful than the bruises you constantly leave on my ego.”

He’d sacrificed so much over the years just to survive; wasn’t he entitled to taking the easy way every now and again? With so much having been taken from him, wasn’t it all right to take a little for himself?

Bravery is not a lack of fear but acting despite fear.”
