Ronan, leaning against the doorway to his room, replied, "Exactly"

Gansey made a note on the printout "That doesn’t ht she knew precisely as going on Icily, she said, "This is a religion thing, isn’t it?"

Ronan scoffed, "You don’t have to say it like that"

"Actually, I do Is this the part where you tellto hell?"

"I wouldn’t rule it out," he said "But I don’t really have the inside line on that knowledge"

At this, Gansey rolled over onto his back and folded his hands on his chest He wore a salmon polo shirt, which, in Blue’s opinion, was farthey’d discussed to this point "What’s this all about now?"

Blue couldn’t believe he didn’t already knohat the conflict was Either he was incredibly oblivious or astonishingly enlightened Knowing Gansey, it was undoubtedly the for the word occult," Blue snapped She’d heard versions of this conversation countless times in her life; it had become too commonplace to needle her anymore But she hadn’t expected it fro any word," Ronan said The annoying thing about Ronan was always that he was angry when everyone else was calry Because Blue was ready to bust a vein, his voice was utterly pacific "I’, h peril as it is"

At this, Gansey’s face turned to a genuine frown and he looked as if he was about to say so Then he just shook his head a little

"Do you think we’re in league with the devil, Ronan?" Blue asked The question would’ve had a better effect if she’d asked it with sickly sweetness-- she could just i it off-- but she was too irritated to e it "They’re evil soothsayers?"

He rolled his eyes luxuriously at her It was like heit all up for when he needed it for himself

"My mom first knew she was psychic because she saw the future in a dream," Blue said "A dreaoat in the backyard to see it She didn’t try to see the future It’s not so she is I could just as easily say that you’re evil because you can take things from your dreams!"

Ronan said, "Yeah, you could"

Gansey’s frown deepened Again he opened his mouth and closed it

Blue couldn’t drop it She said, "So even if it could help you understand you and your dad, you won’t go talk to theed, as dismissive as Kavinsky "Nope"

"Why, you close-minded --"

"Jane," Gansey ru as stately as one could look lying on their back in a sal perfectly fucking civil"

"You’re being ested that clairvoyance lies in the realhtened

"Come on, man," Ronan said

Gansey sat up "Come on, man, yourself We’re all aware here that Cabeswater bends tied to write on that rock in Cabeswater before any of us ever got there Tioddamn slinky If you can believe that, I don’t knohy you can’t believe that so the slinky"

Ronan looked at hi for Gansey

I probably would, too, she thought It was ied to pull off such an effect in that polo shirt

"Whatever," Ronan said Which meant he’d do it Gansey looked at Blue "Happy, Jane?"

Blue said, "Whatever"

Which , but Blue /Cat Room If she couldn’t have all three of them, Calla was the one she wanted anyway Calla was as traditionally clairvoyant as the other two, but she had an additional, strange gift: psychometry When she touched an object, she could often sense where it had co when he or she used it, and where it s that were both people and objects at the same time, Calla’s talent seemed apropos
