"Too many of my friends have either read this, are reading it or are about to start it. I don't want to miss out on the discussion. I've been excited to begin this book since I saw several glowing reviews on it. I may set my other books aside for a few days and just focus on this one."

"Matthew's nose flared delicately. His smile grew a bit wider. Whatever my body was doing, he had smelled it. What's more, he seemed to have identified it. I flushed."

"Matthew turned toward me and opened his eyes. His face softened, and my own did the same. There was movement all around us, but the socially correct had no pull on me. I stayed where I was, staring into a vampire's eyes. Matthew waited, utterly still, watching me watch him. When I sat up, the room spun at the sudden movement of blood through my body."

"What was the fifth question you had to answer for the Prize Fellowship?" If you survived the first four questions, you were asked the famous "fifth question." It was not a question at all, but a single word like "water," or "absence." It was up to the candidate to decide how to respond, and only the most brilliant answer won you a place at All Souls. "Desire," he said, studiously avoiding my eyes."

"May I ask you something about your mother?" "Of course," Matthew said, twisting in his saddle. He put one fist on his hip and held his horse's reins lightly in the other hand. I now knew with absolute certainty how a medieval knight looked on horseback."

"My beloved vampire, with a face that would make an angel envious, looked at me with sorrow. "You know how I feel about you." I shook my head. "No, I don't. When you're ready, you'll tell me." Matthew struggled with something and left it unsaid. Wordlessly he walked toward the door into the hall. When he reached it, he gave me a long look of snowflakes and frost before walking through."

"...Speaking of the past," Matthew drew the back of his hand down my arm, "what does the distinguished historian know about bundling?""

"If I didn't have to go out tonight, I'd be finishing this book. But, truthfully, I'm kind of glad for an excuse to drag this out just a tiny bit longer. Having to wait for the sequel is going to be rough."
