Hes becoming useless. Worse than useless, Sam said. Then, relenting, he said, Well get past it.You mean you and Quinn?Yeah.Astrid considered just keeping her mouth shut, not pushing it. But this was a talk she needed to have with Sam sooner or later. I dont think hes going to get over it.You dont know him that well.Hes jealous of you.Well, of course I am so terribly handsome, Sam said, straining to make a joke of it.Hes one kind of person, youre another. When life is going along normally, youre sort of the same. But when life turns strange and scary, when theres a crisis, suddenly youre completely different people. Its not Quinns fault, really, but hes not brave. Hes not strong. You are.
