Quote by Rick Riordan

“She glared at me like she was about to punch me, but then she did something that surprised me even more. She kissed me. "Be careful seaweed brain."

Their sheer impossibility has made you imagine them too many times in your head, and when you find yourself on that longed-for moonlit path, it seems unreal but still, somehow, familiar. You dreamed of it, of course; you know it like a memory.”
