I smiled. "Sure."

"Tomorrow?" he asked.

"Patience, grasshopper," I counseled. "You don't want to seem overeager.

Wager, then, on your own defeat.”

“As for why I still harbor love in my heart instead of being a bitch, I think it's because loving one another is a lot easier than hate.

Also, by loving people openly and being happy, you basically raise your vibrations and invite good things to happen to you.”
― Quinn Ashwood, Fae Rose Academy: Year Two
