Weekend Challenge: Book quote

[haldoor.livejournal.com]

Okay, let's go with an old favourite to kick off 2023's first Weekend Challenge!

I am currently reading Book 7 of The Expanse (Persepholis Rising) by James A. Corey, and it has 549 pages. Give me a number or numbers between 1 and 549, and I will give you a quote from that page or pages to hopefully inspire you! Write more than 200 words or create at least 2 icons/1 banner from your prompt by Thursday midnight in your timezone, and I'll reward you with an icon or two of your choice or 100 words in one of my WIPs!

Now come on down and get your prompts!

10 and 150 please.
Intended to do this yesterday...but our phones and internet were down. :)

I am so sorry! I didn't get to this in the last couple of days and I meant to, and now I'm at work without the book, so if you're still interested, I'll get these for you after work today.

Sorry I am so bad this week, but I finally got there. Take all the time you need to use the prompts! if you do manage something, I will gladly offer a reward, even if it is after Thursday midnight!

10 is: As relationships went, it was probably the most honest one Paolo had ever had.

150 is: He'd been a child then, and the memory had the near-mythical feel of a story retold until it barely resembled its truth

I hope either or both will be inspiring!
