“I glowered back up at him. "Did you need something?"
He didn't move. "Where are you going?"
"To plot your downfall," I snapped. I bent to retrieve my bag and then sneaked beneath his arm. It wasn't the most dignified exit, but it worked.”

“I don鈥檛 know what I鈥檇 do without you, Leon.鈥�

Marry me, he thought.”

“Are we napping?鈥� she asked.
鈥淔or a little,鈥� he said.
He wasn鈥檛 napping. He concentrated every cell of his body on memorizing the weight of her against him, and the smell of her hair in the sun. His arms measured the slender curve of her torso. His fingers separated out a single strand of her hair. Her breathing slowed, easing, while his watchful heart chugged on, stupid and hungry, and the red bracelet stayed in his pocket.”

“Please put your shirt on,鈥� she said.
He pulled it over his head, checking the buttons. 鈥淏etter?鈥�
She looked exhausted, and happy, and too bighearted to believe. So why did he still feel anguished? He grabbed her around the waist and pulled her onto his lap.
鈥淗ey!鈥� She laughed, hugging an arm around him.
He snuggled his nose in her hair and kissed her neck. Mine, he thought.
鈥淭hey鈥檒l see,鈥� she muttered.
They鈥檇 better. 鈥淟et them. It鈥檚 legal.鈥�
She laughed again and quickly kissed him. Finally.”

“I had two beady brown eyes that, no matter how hard I tried to look mysterious and cool, always seemed to say "It wasn't just me who farted.”

“Why did you come?鈥� Gaia asked, passing over his shirt.
鈥淚 wanted to see you,鈥� he said.
鈥淭hat鈥檚 all? No problem with the crims or anything?鈥�
It seemed like so long ago that he鈥檇 left the crims to come into the village to find her. He fingered his shirt, which was all but dry. 鈥淣o. Just you.鈥�
鈥淵ou鈥檙e awfully untalkative for a guy who came all this way to see me,鈥� she said. He glanced up again, seeing the concern in her eyes when she smiled at him. His loneliness began to thaw.
鈥淵ou were amazing in there, you know,鈥� he said.
She shook her head, turning his hat in her hands. 鈥淚 hope I didn鈥檛 boss you around too much. I can get a little single-minded.鈥�
鈥淗ardly at all. 鈥楾ake yer boots off and git yerself in here,鈥欌€� he drawled.”

“I went into physics to hang around with the bright kids. I wasn鈥檛 doing anything else and I didn鈥檛 want to look dumb, so I thought I鈥檇 pretend to be a physicist, just like the others. It was five or ten years after my Ph.D. before I realized I was pretty good.”

“Every time Leon had to tell her everything that he had done since their last meeting. She asked him for some verses - some verses for herself, a "love poem" in honour of her. But he never succeeded in getting a rhyme for the second verse; and at last ended by copying for her a sonnet in a "Keepsake". This was less from vanity than from the one desire of pleasing her. He did not question her ideas; he accepted all her tastes; he was rather becoming her mistress than she his. She had tender words and kisses that thrilled his soul. Where could she have learned this corruption almost incorporeal in the strength of its profundity and dissimulation?”

“Leon actually laughed. "They have slushies up front."
"Jesus Christ," Benjamin muttered. "Nordstrom's. Macy's. We could go to Paris for the spring season. I was expecting transatlantic flights."
I figured ignoring that was best for all concerned. "Is there an Old Navy around here? They've got shorts and stuff." I caught the look Benjamin gave me. "What?"
"Nothing. We just thought a svetocha would be more, well, difficult." Leon's mouth twitched. "I do seriously want a slushie."
I tried a tentative smile. I definitely liked him now. "I haven't had one in ages. Maybe the guys outside - the double blonds - would want one, too?"
For some reason Leon found that utterly fricking hysterical. H snorted and chuckled all the way through Housewares to the Health and Beauty section, and even Benjamin unbent enough to grin.”
