The Friday 56 - The White Oak Edition

The Friday 56 is a fun Friday meme from Freda @ Freda's Voice.
Rules:
*Grab a book, any book.
*Turn to page 56.
*Find any sentence, (or few, just don't spoil it) that grabs you.
*Post it.

I haven't done a Friday 56 in quite a while. Fridays in March were dedicated to the Review Copy Cleanup and last Friday was Good Friday, but now I'm back to it! This week's Friday 56 comes from The White Oak by Kim White.



"We choose our fate, Cora. Nothing is an accident." She examines her fingernails, and the ruby ring glows deep red in the gray twilight. The jewel is mesmerizing, and we both admire it for a moment.
