“I would rather be punished for making the right decision than live with the guilt of making the wrong one for the rest of my life.”

“Team Foster-Keefe will always be cooler.”

“He was quiet for a few seconds, and Sophie thought he was going to ignore her. But then he leaned closer-close enough that she could feel his breath on her cheek. " I crack a lot of jokes ,Sophie , but ....that's just because it's easier, you know? It's how I deal. But that doesn't mean I don't care. I do, a lot.”
― Shannon Messenger, Exile

“Sparkles also make everything better. Well, except alicorn poop."
"I don't know. I think sparkly poop is way better than regular poop."
"That's because you've never fallen into a pile of it.”

“Fitz's door was closed, so she knocked before going in.
"I told you, Mr. Snuggles's visiting hours are over," he called through the door.
"What about your visiting hours?" she asked.
"Oh! I thought you were Keefe."
Sophie opened the door. "I get that a lot.”
― Shannon Messenger, Neverseen

“Sophie flung a pillow at his head.

Or, she tried to.

Throwing with her left arm was much harder than she expect, and...

She ended up nailing Magnate Leto in the face.

Keefe doubled over, clutching his sides and gasping between choking laughs: “THAT...WAS...THE...GREATEST...THING...IVE...EVER...SEEN!”
― Shannon Messenger, Flashback

“Why else would you spend so much time helping Miss Fosters causes?â€�

“Uh... you’ve seen how cute she is, right?â€� Keefe asked.”
― Shannon Messenger, Flashback

“You must think I'm a total idiot."
"Nah. I am starting to wonder if you're trying to beat Keefe's record for biggest interspeciesial episode- and if you are, I'm pretty sure you've won. The Great Gulon Incident was epic, but it didn't almost start a war.”
― Shannon Messenger, Everblaze

“Keefe, I...'

There were no words.

She threw her arms around his shoulders, hugging him as tight as she could. Maybe if she never let go, she could hold the broken pieces together.”
― Shannon Messenger, Lodestar

“I wish I could give you a world where everything was perfect and shining and safe. I used to think that's what we had..." He shook his head. "I've realized now that our world doesn't define us. We define our world. And I hope you'll fill yours with as much light and happiness as you can."
"You realize how silly that sounds, right?"
"I do. But after everything that's happened, I think we could all use a bit more silly in our lives.”
― Shannon Messenger, Everblaze

“Tam's shadow fell over hers, and he shadow-whispered, "I'm trusting you. I don't care about me, but if something happens to Linh..."
'I promise, we're only trying to help,' Sophie transmitted.
Keefe let out a sigh that sounded more like a groan. "And I thought secret Telepath conversations were the worst. Just so we're clear," he told Tam. "I'M the president of the Foster fan club. And we're closed to new members."
Tam's cheeks flushed. "Uh...not sure what that's about but...no worries there--no offense!" he told Sophie.
She noticed he stole a quick glance at Biana after he said it.
Sophie couldn't decide if she should feel relieved or insulted.”

“It’s amazing he made it through without me bashing his pretty face.â€�

“Aw, did you hear that? Ro thinks I’m pretty! I mean- I usually go for more of a roguish handsome, but...� He tosses his hair and fluttered his eyelashes.

Sophie’s lips curled into a smile-without her permission.”
― Shannon Messenger, Flashback

“Yeah, what time should we arrive to catch the Great Fitzphie Ooze Fest?â€� Keefe asked.

“We’re not calling it that,� Sophie told him.

“Oh, I think we are. And don’t worry, Foster,â€� Keefe added, patting her on the head. “I’ll still love you when you’re oozy.”
― Shannon Messenger, Flashback

“Typical Foster, always knocking guys off their feet.”
― Shannon Messenger, Nightfall

“Ohhh, a loversâ€� quarrel!â€� Ro clapped her hands. “Those are my favorite. Anyone have snacks? I feel like we should have snacks for this.â€�
“That’s not what this is,� Sophie told her. “We’re not...never mind.�
Ro grinned, flashing pointed teeth. “If you say so.�
“Fosters not ready to face her feelings,� Keefe stage-whispered.
“I’m ready to strangle you,â€� Sophie countered.”
― Shannon Messenger, Nightfall

“He was quiet for a few seconds, and Sophie thought he was going to ignore her. But then he leaned closer-close enough that she could feel his breath on her cheek.

“Why do clothes never have enough pockets? There should always be lots of pockets... the more pockets the better!”
― Shannon Messenger, Flashback

“What?â€� Sophie asked, wiping under her lashes when she noticed Keefe staring. “Did I smudge it?â€�

“No, Foster. You look... perfect.”
― Shannon Messenger, Flashback

“You’re in this, like, Ultra Knight in Shining Armor mode-â€�

“Aw, you hear that, Ro? Foster thinks I’m her hero!”
― Shannon Messenger, Flashback

“Hindsight is a dangerous game.”
― Shannon Messenger, Neverseen

“Fitz yawned, and she patted Mr. Snuggles on the head as she stood to leave. He mumbled something, the words too sleepy to be coherent. But Sophie could've sworn he'd said, "Miss you.”
― Shannon Messenger, Neverseen

“And keep in mind,' Oralie added, finally turning her azure eyes toward Sophie, ' true trust does not require absolute transparency. There is incredible power in accepting that there are some things you cannot know--and being willing to maintain your commitment to that person despite the secrets.”
― Shannon Messenger, Legacy

“She wasn’t the Black Swan’s puppet anymore.
She was broken.
All she had left was trust.”
― Shannon Messenger, Exile

“They weren’t friends. And they weren’t actually sisters. They were just two different girls from two different worlds.”
― Shannon Messenger, Nightfall

“Fitz? What kind of name was Fitz?”
― Shannon Messenger, Keeper of the Lost Cities

“And to be glad to wake up and find people in her room, instead of dancing anthropomorphic animals.”
― Shannon Messenger, Nightfall

“You changed Iggy’s color?â€� she asked, heading over to his cage, where, sure enough, the tiny imp had yet another new look. His neatly trimmed, gold, sparkly fur was now a much poofier ice blue with tiny crimps.

“Huh, I figured he’d be pink and purple,� Sophie admitted, pointing to Ro’s colorful pigtails.

Ro tossed her head, swishing her hair in the process. “Uh, no, I’m not sharing my fabulous style with anyone—much less a creature who spent the last hour eating his own toenails. But I thought it was only right to save your imp from being sparkle-fied—and I was going to be nice and turn him your favorite color. But apparently your favorite color is teal—and yeah, yeah, we all know why. But, um, do you realize how many of the nastiest little microbes are in that color?" She shuddered. "I couldn't do that to you—or the little dude. So I went with a nice ice blue. The kind of color you can't help but love. Classic. Reliableâ€�”
― Shannon Messenger, Legacy

“By the way, you look awesome,â€� Biana said, admiring Sophie’s dress. “Now I’m wishing I braided my hair or something.â€�

“Oh please, you look amazing,â€� Sophi assured her. “Like always.”
― Shannon Messenger, Flashback

“A school isn't a school until Sophie tries to destroy it”
― Shannon Messenger

“Ohhh, a loversâ€� quarrel!â€� Ro clapped her hands. “Those are my favorite. Anyone have snacks? I feel like we should have snacks for this.â€�
“That’s not what this is,� Sophie told her. “We’re not...never mind.�
