Quote by Shaun David Hutchinson

“You've got to find your own thing. DJ's found his." "What?" I asked. "Being perfect?" "You." Jenny looked at me like it should have been obvious. "Taking care of you, trying to get you home. If you asked him to capture you a comet, he'd try to find a way to do it." She shrugged. "We all need a hobby, and you, inexplicably, are his.”

Or me.” Another half-truth. His mind had concocted a hundred schemes to bind her to him, to keep her in this city. But she’d spent enough of her life caged by debts and obligations, and it would be better for them both when she was gone. “How?” she said. “The money—” “It’s done.” He’d liquidated every asset he had, used the last of the savings he’d accrued, every ill-gotten cent. She pressed the envelope to her chest, above her heart. “I have no words to thank you for this.” “Surely the Suli have a thousand proverbs for such an occasion?” “Words have not been invented for such an occasion.” “If I end up on the gallows, you can say something nice over the corpse,” he said.”
