“if a painting really works down in your heart and changes the way you see, and think, and feel, you don’t think, ‘oh, i love this picture because it’s universal.’ ‘i love this painting because it speaks to all mankind.’ that’s not the reason anyone loves a piece of art. it’s a secret whisper from an alleyway. psst, you. hey kid. yes you.”

celia had loved the sea. loved the whitecaps that foamed like milk, the waltz of sunlight atop the peaks. kasey did not. the sea was a trillion strands of hair, infinitely tangled on the surface and infinitely dense beneath. it distorted time: minutes passed like hours and hours passed like minutes out there. it distorted space, made the horizon seem within reach. and it was the perfect place for hiding secrets.

“Kaz leaned back. “What’s the easiest way to steal a man’s wallet?” “Knife to the throat?” asked Inej. “Gun to the back?” said Jesper. “Poison in his cup?” suggested Nina. “You’re all horrible,” said Matthias.”
