"She lay as still as death. It unnerved Arjun to see her like that. As if he were listening to the final strains of the Sonata Pathétique. Waiting for the music to fade to the rafters before falling to silence. It didn't suit her. Odette Valmont was a triumph. An "Ode to Joy," not a dirge. As usual, he stood apart from his chosen family, now more from habit than anything else. Arjun Desai liked remaining along the fringes. He could see and hear everything. Ensure he was never caught unawares."-The Righteous by Renée Ahdieh
