I just don't have the words they've all been sucked out of me
 

A lot of quotes from this book hit hard but this ... 

Still, something did not seem right, and Robin could tell from Victoire’s and Ramy’s faces that they thought so too. It took him a moment to realize what it was that grated on him, and when he did, it would bother him constantly, now and thereafter; it would seem a great paradox, the fact that after everything they had told Letty, all the pain they had shared, she was the one who needed comfort. 

... along with Letty's whole storyline fucking HIT HARD.
