"And I'm supposed to believe that?" "No." "Then why say it?" "Because honesty builds trust."

If I was in any form of potential danger then it was only fair I knew the genesis of the story. "If you insist, I'll tell you everything. But not today." Her voice was firm, unyielding and I knew there was no use forcing her hand. I would only tire myself out. "I'll tell you everything when next we meet. I promise." I looked at her skeptically.

Arnold looked up at Aurora, sincerity written all over his face. “Miss Aurora, everything I've told you is the truth. I hope you'll believe me. I have absolutely no reason to deceive you.” Aurora couldn't help smiling helplessly. “How could I not believe you? Arnold, we've known each other for far too long for me to doubt you."

she asked calmly. He sighed “I feel like a failure. It makes me wonder if my father was right about doubting my judgement. He never really trusted me with big decisions until he died…” The incident with Cassie made him question himself a lot.

Vlad said, "Trust is a luxury, Violetta," in a low, nearly whispery voice that was infused with a terrifying authority. "It is a weapon in this world.

The discussion continued for another thirty minutes. Near the end, the moderator invited questions from the audience. A young woman stood. She couldn't have been older than twenty-five and she introduced herself as the founder of a healthcare startup. "My question is for both Ms. Carter and Mr. Carter." The room became still. “If someone betrays your trust, can they ever truly earn it back?"

One question haunted me, refusing to let me enjoy the feeling of being freed from the rut of poverty and move on toward becoming a certified healer: was this the beginning of my life, or the end of it? The upper class were dangerous people, perhaps even more dangerous than the thugs on the street, because they had the money and power to back their whims and desires. Not to mention the issue of being under the same roof as Noah for the next year. How long could I last without jeopardizing my job and Henry's life? "Can I ask you a question?" I said to Diggory.
