“Some things aren’t forgivable. I’ve done my best to be a good prince in the time since, to take care of those who remain, but it’s a drop in the bucket compared to what I’ve done. There’s no atoning for it.”
For what?! I railed internally, but as chatty as he was today, I didn’t think he’d tell me. And that wasn’t really the point here.
“Not forgivable by them? I’m not sure I agree, but what about by God, is he allowed to forgive you?”
Leith walked beside me in silence again. Maybe I’d pushed him too far.
“Or whatever you believe in?” I asked. Did the Fae have religions?
“If God is just and wise, then he will not forgive me either,” said Leith.
And what about you? I thought, Will you ever forgive yourself? But I didn’t say the words out loud. I already knew the answer.”

“Is there another way to break the curse?” I poked him in the chest with an accusing finger. “What are you not telling me?”
“Isobel.” He caught my hand with his wet fingers. “Do you trust me?”
I narrowed my eyes at him. “Of course I do, with my life. But I’m not sure I trust you with your own. Tell me you’re not risking it when there’s another way to save Kilinaire.”

“You’re no more magical than any other human I’m afraid. As for you being chosen, I’m not sure it matters. Is it more useful to be chosen and not know it, or to not be chosen but still be the one who's needed?

“Would you rather have no free will?”
“How did this turn into a religious debate?”
“Excellent question. You should probably continue this discussion with your pastor.” Miss Chloe turned back to her computer.
“Will everything actually turn out fine?” I asked her softly as got up to leave.
“There is a very good possibility of that.”
Not as reassuring as one might hope.”
