"Do you always hum when you think, or is that just your way of testing my patience?" "Oh I beg your soul shut the fudge cake up Jace!" Ambervert ; she didn't sign up for a mafia plot, but life didn't ask either. Amber Adair is socially fluent, emotionally confusing, and somehow always in the wrong place at the right time.
