Quote
When you walk behind officials,Follow at a proper distance.When you enter a man's house.And he’s busy with someone before you,Sit with your hand over your mouth.Do not ask him for anything,Only do as he tells you,Beware of rushing to the tableBe weighty and very dignified,Do not speak of secret things,Who hides his thought shields himself.Do not say things recklessly,When you sit with one who’s hostile.

Quote
Divine angel, who betrothed usSecretly on winter morn,From our sadness-free existenceDoes not take his darkened eyes.For this reason we love sky,And fresh wind, and air so thin,And the dark tree branchesBehind fence of iron.For this reason we love the strict,Many-watered, and dark city,And we love the parting,And brief meetings' hour.

You are my everything. You understand me, Via? Tu es meu tudo.” I understood her. And I knew why she said it was a secret. Grandmothers aren’t supposed to have favorites. Everyone knows that. But after she died, I held on to that secret and let it cover me like a blanket.

Quote
Macey was across the table from me, and we glanced at each other—an unspoken dread lingering between us like the smell of olive oil and melting cheese, but beside me, Bex was unfazed, and I remembered the power of asecret.
