Rowan: We need to cut expenses. What can we do without?
Kestrel: Jade.
Rowan: While I'm gone, you're in charge, Jade.
Jade: Yes!
Rowan: (whispering to Kestrel) You're secretly in charge, but I don't want her to feel bad.
Kestrel: Obviously.
Rowan: Jade’s teacher just sent me a glowing email about what a pleasure she is in the classroom, and I'm half tempted to forward it to Kestrel’s teacher, just so I can prove the problem isn't me.

Summary: “Please don’t use candy to lure unsuspecting children into your vampire lair,” Mary-Lynette joked, for the sixth time. As with the last five times, the Redfern sisters all ignored her.
Rowan: Sometimes you ask too much of people.
Mary-Lynnette: I do? Give me fourteen examples.
(Family game night)
Rowan: Jade, why did you play that terrible hand?
Jade: Why? Because I believe that life is for the living. I believe in taking risks and biting off more than you can chew. And also, people were yelling, and I got confused about the rules.
“Being soulmates is involuntary-you don’t even have to like the person when you meet them . They may be completely wrong for you in every way-wrong species, wrong temperament, wrong age. But you know you’ll never be completely happy again without them.”
More and more tingly. Mary Lynnette had to say something. “And what if that happened to you-if you found somebody and you were soulmates with them and you didn’t want to be?” She asked Rowan. She realised that her voice was strange-thick. “Isn’t there any way you could-get rid of it?”
There was a pause. Mary Lynnette saw everyone turn to look at her.
“I’ve never heard of one,” Rowan said slowly. Her brown eyes were searching Mary Lynnette’s. But I guess you could ask a witch…if you had that problem.”

‘Mary lynnette knew in that instant they were communicating without words. Each recognising the other as an alpha female who was willing to fight and die for her kin.
Meaning they were both big sisters
Yes, somebody was going to get hurt, Mary Lynette thought you threaten my family, I fight back. She knew Rowan understood. Rowan was going to really hate killing her’
