“When she felt the hot creamy chocolate go down her throat and into her stomach some of the tension in her body disappeared. Three long sips later and she felt close to being able to face the day. By
the time half the cocoa was gone she was in her special place, the place where everything was fine and she could face anything including Connor and a visit from her dad. By the time she finished the rest of the cocoa she'd be able to keep this calm going for the rest of the day, but of course she needed a second cup.”

"No, there is really no such thing as period fever. There's a difference between being a guy and being an idiot.”

“Even without Lux, I never would've ordered this," I pointed out. "I hate two of the four ingredients."
"Ah, but there are seven ingredients. And so what if you hate two of them? The fact that I hate Russian dressing doesn't diminish my enjoument of a good Reuben sandwich. Ours is amazing, by the way.”

“For her sex had always been about a borrowed connection. Wires patched together to make a unit long enough to transmit a message. That shared goal, those stolen moments when nothing else mattered but pleasure. When they ended, so did the link. The electricity faded.

That wouldn't be the case here.”
