“Cassie," he forced himself to focus. He'd been thinking about himself long enough; it was time to think about her. To make her understand that she had to leave. "The council . . . it isn’t like a human court, with rules and procedures and some semblance of justice. They are arbitrary and capricious at best, and at worst . . . they’re the definition of chaos.”
She blinked up at him, and the panic abruptly cleared. Her pleading, tear-streaked face became calm, and quietly brave. Just as she'd always been the bravest damned soul he'd ever known.
“Mother said chaos is like jumping off a cliff," she told him softly.
"Not knowing what’s at the bottom. But she didn’t seem to think that was so bad. I didn’t understand what she meant then, but I think . . . maybe I do now. Sometimes there are no guarantees. Sometimes, if you want something badly enough, you just have to jump.”
