“Well hell. Her heart was melting and she'd never get the fickle organ back to a normal shape again.”

“It was good to be here with Jem and Cecily an Charlotte, to be surrounded by their affection, but without her there would always be something missing, a Tessa-shaped part chiseled out of his heart that he could never get back.”

“But her heart was so cold that she could hold ice in her mouth and it would never melt.”

“Bell lifted her hand to her chest. Her heart beat so quickly. She was floating out on a tide of agony, and soon she would be carried so far she'd never come back.”

“Trust is like a block of ice, once it melts into the ground, you can never get it back.”

“For the first time since she'd pieced her heart back together, she felt a small tug at one of the strings. She dropped her hands to her sides and took a step back.
