“I didn't know there were this many math guys," Hale said as they stepped onto the crowded concourse.
Kat cleared her throat.
"And women," he added. "Math women.”

“It's good to see you, little one." He (Uncle Eddie) scanned her short skirt. "I only wish I were not seeing quite so much of you.”

“Do you have any idea how hard it is to tail an eighty year-old woman Its hard. Really hard. Really… slow.

-Grabrielle”

“Kat!” Gabrielle hissed. “You’re going to get caught."
The smile Kat flashed over her shoulder was almost wicked. “I know.”

“Unusual financial activity: none, unless you count the fact that someone in the family is way too into Civil War biographies. (Can this be a possible indication of Confederate insurgents still living and working in Virginia? Must research further.)”

“I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You”

“Sometime years before, I had dragged an old bean bag chair to that place. I watched Zach sink onto it, and then he pulled me down to lean against him. I felt his arms go around me, holding me tight.
I was safe.
I was warm.
I was home.”

“Boys! Are they always this impossible? Do they always say cryptic, indecipherable things? (Note
to self: work with Liz to adapt her boy-to-English translator into a more mobile form—like maybe a
watch or necklace.)”

“Acting like you don’t care is a whole lot easier when you don’t care”

“Kat didn't know what to say. It's good to see you too? Thanks for getting me kicked out? Is it possible you've gotten even hotter? I think I might have missed you?”

“Angus looked at Hamish. "I hate it when Mom and Dad fight."
Hamish smoothed his brother's messy hair. "Me too.”

“Denying the undeniable just makes you sound like a fool as well as a liar.”

“Fear is a weakness. It makes a person lose her nerve and her cool. It makes people jumpy and organizations nervous, and when that happens, there is always a chance to take advantage.”

“No one would have ever guessed that seven of the world's most talented teenagers were coming to the Henley that day for an entirely different sort of lesson.”

“It was epic. It was awkward. It was epically awkward.”

“That's when I heard the sounds of a certified genius spinning around in circles like a dog chasing its tail.”

“Most people believe me when I lie. I've learned how to say the words just right. I have a trusting kind of face. But the boy in front of me was a trained operative, so Zach knew better. And besides, Zach new me.”

“Either we're a team or we aren't. Either you trust me or you don't.”

“She thought she was only seeing him because she wanted to see him… It's a by-product of very dramatic kissing.”

“I'm sure Uncle Eddie won't kill him. He'll probably just maim him a little."

"No," Uncle Eddie said. "I won't."

"Okay," Gabrielle said. "So he'll maim him. But Hale can take it.”

“You're girls!' he shouted as if the fact had totally eluded him until then.”

“I don't want tea, I want justice!”

“Now I know that, from this point on, we'll be the ones doing the chasing.
