But inevitably, it shows up at our doorstep unannounced, taking us by surprise.”

"I hate myself for being so unreasonable!”
“Nobody likes me,” he concluded at the tail end of a ten-minute pity fest. “Can’t imagine why,” Quinn murmured. I turned my snort of laughter into a fake cough, which was an embarrassingly feeble attempt at subterfuge when you consider the fact that I didn’t have any lungs.”
