Until that moment , nothing - absolutely nothing - can happen to you . Do you understand ?

" The frenzy in Julius ' gaze finally ebbed , like blood draining from a wound . Risk everything to stay alive ? But can I truly wait that long ? Laura watched Julius fall silent and murmured , " He isn't going to hurt himself , is he ?

" Weston answered after a breath , " At least not before we know whether Quinn is alive or dead ." " If Joaquin hadn't taken me , maybe Quinn's odds would have been better ."
