“Still in one piece?�� Vincent teased, pulling me close & planting a soft kiss on my lips. “After dirty-dancing with Jules, I’m not sure.”

“Jesus, you think you’re fuckin�� Catwoman��, he muttered.
“I do not. Catwoman wore a leotard and stupid ears and fake claws. That’s just silly.”

“How’s your dance card look?�� “Double-check your century Jules. No dance cards.�� Jules shrugged & gave me his most flirtatious smile.”

“How about I take you to my studio? Much less dangerous. Plus, I need a model and you could sit for me."
"You want me to sit for a portrait?" I asked stunned.
"Actually, at the moment I'm concentrating on full-length nudes, in the spirit of Modigliani," Jules said. He was making an effort to keep a straight face. "Just kidding, Kates. You're a lady."
Jules was trying the guilt-trip method of attack. And it was working.
"Ok I'll pose for you," I conceded. "But under no circumstances will any article of clothing leave my body whilst I am in your studio."
"And if you're elsewhere?" he asked, breaking into a sly smile.
I rolled my eyes.”

“I kid you not Crowe, I’m working the King Sooper’s stores tomorrow. I’m gonna find me a checkout boy. Safe job, good insurance and he probably won’t tell me what to do.��
At my threat Vance kissed my forehead. Then he let me go. I took this to mean he didn’t feel the King’s Sooper’s checkout boys were much competition.
He was probably right.”

“Outside my bike, never has anything important in my life been just mine."
My body stilled, so did my heart, and my eyes locked with his.
He started moving again, slowly, deeply and he kept talking. "Always castoffs, leftovers, used, sometimes even food from the dumpsters."
My heart started beating again, only to trip over itself; my breath came fast, not only from what was happening to my body but what he was saying.
"Vance-"
His lips came to mine, his hands moved out of my hair and went to the side of my face and he stared in my eyes, pressing deep inside.
"Mine," he muttered, his deep voice hoarse, that fierce undercurrent there.
His tone caused a shiver to run through me, straight through to my soul.
Then he kissed me.”

“Jules’s eyes turned to Vance. “I’ll go somewhere.��
“No,�� Vance replied.
“I’ll go somewhere safe,�� Jules went on.
Vance got close to Jules and put his hand on her belly. “You think I’m missin�� a minute of this Princess, think again.��
I swallowed hard, hard.
“Then keep me safe,�� Julies whispered.”

“[Jules] slides into a seat beside me with her hot lunch tray, sighing. “Four hours, thirty-six minutes, and twelve seconds till we’re out of purgatory for the weekend.��
“Maybe later,�� I murmur, still distracted by the day’s previous events.
“So, let me show you how a conversation works. I say something, and then you say something back that actually relates to what I was talking about, as if you were even the least bit interested.��
“Huh?�� I say.”
― Jodi Picoult, Between the Lines

“You and I," I intertwined my fingers with his, "are one."
"Until the day I die," he promised, "And even after that."
"For the eternity?" I whispered on his lips.
"Evermore.”

“You have no idea how much I appreciate your friendship,�� Jules said. Sam held out several bills. “Yeah, actually I do,�� he said. “It’s probably as much as I appreciate yours.”

“My gaze moved to Vance. He was looking up at me and I could read nothing in his eyes.
"Another pop?" I asked.
He shook his head but kept watching me. I looked at the floor and started from the room.
I had to pass Vance's chair to get to the kitchen. As I did, I slowed and as if it had a mind of it's own, my hand came out and I ran the backs of my finger's along Vance's jaw.”

“You aren’t going to have to identify my body,�� I told him.
“I hope not. Your timing, it’ll be during a Broncos game. That’d piss me off.��
I smiled at him.
“Okay, I’ll try not to get killed during a Broncos game.”

“I am back,�� he said, straightening up, pulling the keys out of his pocket. “This is all that's left.”
