“Max,' I said, looking up at him, 'I love the Russian heritage you guys are so willing to share, but I'm not so thrilled with the French.'
'What?' His brows lowered. 'We're not French.'
'Great. So the next time you feel the need to kiss me, keep your tongue out of my mouth!”

“Lucius shrugged. "Perhaps in time you will find it useful."
"Sure. I'll keep it on my shelf right next to The Idiot's Guide to Becoming a Mythical Creature.''
Lucius actually laughed. "Very funny. I didn't know you made jokes."
"I'm a funny person," I defended myself. "And by the way鈥擨 don't snore."
"You do snore. And you mumble, too."
My blood froze. The dream . . . "What? What did you hear?"
"Nothing too intelligible. But it must have been a rather pleasant dream. You sounded ecstatic.”

“Are you ever going to kiss me without swearing first?”

“As you wish, of course." Lucius lowered the volume on an old record player, which spun a warped vinyl disk that wailed unfamiliar music, scratchy and whiny, like cats fighting. Or a coffin with rusty hinges opening and closing over and over again in a deserted mausoleum. "Do you like Croatian folk?" heasked, seeing my interest. "It reminds me of home."
"I prefer normal music."
"Ah, yes, your MTV with all the bumping and grinding. Like a shot of raging adolescent hormones administered via television. I'm not averse.”

“You're a wrestler, right, Jake?" Dad asked, passing Jake more saag. My parents were in an Indian food phase. The evening's entree consisted of limp spinach. God forbid we'd throw a few burgers on the grill and just have a barbecue when guests came over.
Jake gave the bright green, mushy contents a wary glance but accepted the bowl. "Yeah. I wrestle. I'm captain this year."
"How Greco-Roman of you," Lucius said dryly, lifting a glob of spinach and letting it drip, slowly, from his fork. "Grappling about on mats.”

“What I envy most about you and everyone else heading back to school is the certainty of it all. You鈥檝e got a prescribed set of requirements to guide you through the next few years. Focus your energy on the completion of those assignments and you鈥檒l succeed. Guaranteed. Where鈥檚 my syllabus to guide me through life?”

“Suddenly he smiled, and the sadness was vanquished by whisky heat. 鈥淎ye, Jessica, I like you. And I鈥檓 not just stuck with you. You fit me here, woman.鈥� He thumped his chest with his fist. Then he shook her hand from his forearm and pushed off with the cart again. Jessi watched him move down the aisle, all sleek animal muscle and dark grace.
Wow. He wasn鈥檛 a man of many words, but when he used them, he certainly used the right ones.
You fit me here. You are the exception to everything.
Crimeny.
It was how she鈥檇 always thought a relationship should be. People should fit each other: some
days like sexy, strappy high-heeled shoes, other days like comfortable loafers鈥攂ut always a good fit. And if you cared about someone, they should be the exception to everything; the number-one priority, the one who came before all others.
He was halfway down the aisle from her now, plucking a
can from the shelf鈥攈er primal hunter/gatherer procuring food by modern means, she thought, with a soft snort of amusement.”

“Why are you naked?" "The better to feed you, m'dear." He pointed between his legs and my gaze roved along his cock. Then I saw his forefinger tapping his inner thigh. "Femoral artery." "Riiight. And the major vein in your neck wasn't good enough because鈥� ?" One black brow winged up and those delicious lips curved into a naughty smile. "Ah. Because then I wouldn't have had an excuse to get naked.”

“This is what love is. Not the moments on the beach, or under the stars or the trees, or in the moonlight. Love is sitting together in the quiet, waiting for death to come.
Knowing you鈥檙e not alone.”
― Carolee Dean, Take Me There

“He squeezed her hand. "Then I'll come get you, wherever you are when it happens. We'll be okay."
"But what about everybody else?"
He stared out across the river, nodding slowly. "My guess is, everybody else is in big trouble.”
― Scott Westerfeld, Blue Noon

“I wonder what's worse-the invisible scars they leave or the visible scars I inflict upon myself?”
― Kathryn Perez, Therapy

“As she watched, he examined the can intently, read the ingredients, then returned it to the shelf and chose another, repeating his thorough study of it.
The contrast between his rough, tough-guy appearance and the domestic act he was performing did funny things to her head.
She had a sudden, breathtaking vision of a dark-haired little boy sitting in the seat of the cart, laughing up at Cian, grabbing at his swinging braids with chubby little fists, while his daddy inspected the ingredients on a jar of baby food. Her mind鈥檚 eye
picture of sexy, strong man with beautiful, helpless child made something soft and warm blossom behind her chest.”
― Karen Marie Moning, Spell of the Highlander

“No new beginnings.
Damn it, it shouldn鈥檛 bother her!
But it did. She tried to turn away, but his hand flashed out and caught her by the chin.
鈥淟et me go,鈥� she snapped.
鈥淣ay.鈥� His grip was implacable on her jaw.
There was little point in fighting for control of her face; he could have hoisted her into the air with that one big hand on her jaw, if he鈥檇 wished.
He searched her gaze a long silent moment. 鈥淵ou truly doona ken it, do you? Excepting with you, Jessica. You, lass, are the exception to everything,鈥� he said softly.
As if he鈥檇 not just knocked the breath out of her with those words and left her feeling weak-kneed, he released her chin, turned away, and began pushing the cart again.”

“Who cares about my voice? There are more important things going on in the world. I want to make a difference. I鈥檓 going to law school. I want to become a public defender.鈥�
I couldn鈥檛 believe she鈥檇 give up singing to work with scumbags like me. 鈥淏y the time a guy ends up in front of the judge, it鈥檚 too late to make a difference.鈥�
鈥淚t鈥檚 never too late to make a difference,鈥� she said.
鈥淎ll I鈥檓 saying is that with your music you could have an influence on people before they end up in trouble.”

“Are you a virgin?鈥� I asked, 鈥淎 virgin who鈥檚 gonna tear out my heart?鈥�
鈥淵es 鈥� no 鈥� wait.鈥� She looked at me. 鈥淚鈥檓 not going to rip out your heart.鈥�
鈥淭hanks for clearing that up,鈥� I said
鈥淚s that okay with you?鈥� she asked softly.
鈥淥kay with me?鈥�,鈥淣o, it鈥檚 not okay at all,鈥� I replied.
鈥淲hy not?鈥� She looked down at her toes.
鈥淚 want you to rip out my heart.鈥�
She smiled, pressed her hand to my chest, and said, 鈥淚 could never do that.鈥�
You already have, I thought as I took her hand in mine”

“Look, I鈥檝e already fucked you twice. You don鈥檛 have to flatter me. Besides, I love my friends way too much to trade them in for the sake of looking hotter.鈥�
鈥沦别谤颈辞耻蝉濒测?鈥�
鈥淵eah. I mean, Casey has been my best friend since, like, forever, and she鈥檚 the most loyal person I鈥檝e ever met. And Jessica鈥� well, she has no idea about me and her brother. We weren鈥檛 friends back then. In fact, I didn鈥檛 want to know her after Jake and I split, but Casey said it would be good for me, and she was right鈥� as usual. Jessica can be a little ditsy, but she鈥檚 the sweetest, most innocent person I know. I could never give either of them up just to look good. That鈥檇 make me a real dumbass.鈥�
鈥淭hen they鈥檙e lucky to have you.鈥�
鈥淚 just said not to flatter-鈥�
鈥淚鈥檓 being honest.鈥� Wesley frowned at the mirror. 鈥淚 have only one friend-one real friend. Harrison is the only guy who will be seen with me, and that鈥檚 because we aren鈥檛 trying to attract the same audience, if you know what I mean.鈥� A small smile spread across his lips when he turned to face me. 鈥淢ost people will do anything to avoid being the Duff.鈥�
鈥淲ell, I guess I鈥檓 not most people.”

“You make the puzzle work. Without you, we鈥檙e just a bunch of pieces that look like we belong together, but no matter how hard we try to hold on to each other, we fall apart. You鈥檙e the glue. You鈥檙e the fifth piece that makes everything fit just right.”
