"My father-in-law's incident taught me a lesson: in life, no one knows what will happen tomorrow. People can't compete with fate, and sometimes not even against each other. If we have things we want to do, we must do all we can while we still have the energy."
"You're being extreme. Such unexpected events aren't that common," Grace Yates said, looking at Polly Sutton. "You're more invested in Dragon Shadow's design than Eagle Isle's back then.

Grace Yates pressed her hands on Polly's shoulders. "Polly, you should relax. Victor can handle the siege orders, and your father-in-law is out of danger. It shows that things are moving in a good direction."
