Fallen Chapter 9 Quotes

How we cite the quotes:
(Chapter.Paragraph)

"Don't eat those." Gabbe had swooped in, lifting the figs out of Luce's fingers and tossing them in the trash. She'd interrupted yet another private conversation and replaced the empty space in Luce's palm with a handful of peanut M&Ms from a vending machine sack…

"She's right, Luce," Arriane had appeared, glowering at Cam. "Who knows what he drugged these with?" (9.15-16)

It might seem to Luce like Gabbe's just butting in here, but Gabbe's really just looking out for her. And sure, accusing your classmate of drugging food is a bit harsh, but Cam and Arriane's relationship relies on mutual animosity. This is also a moment of foreshadowing, though, and it proves that the fruit metaphor is just as suspicious as we thought it might be. After Luce finds out that Cam's a fallen angel working against Daniel, Arriane, and Gabbe, their warnings about his charm and his temptations make the situation seem all the more dangerous.
