I'd wait as long as you needed, as long as Nicole needed. But I know you feel something for me, and I love you, and I've never felt this way about anyone, ever. I want to be with you. I want you to pick me. I know Emma will always be your first love, and that's fine. But don't just...don't just let me go.

Then before he could break the moment, before he could turn away, I kissed him, and he didn't stop me. Instead, he pushed my hair out of my face, and he kissed me back, gently, sweetly, his hand slipping behind my head, his lips moving just right against mine, smooth and warm. I gripped his shirt and sighed against his mouth, and knew that as long as I lived, this would be the one perfect kiss that I'd remember forever.

You want to go to the movies tomorrow night?" he asked, and Posey was so shocked she actually choked. "What?" she managed. "The movies? Tomorrow?" "Um...I, uh...um...what movie?" He narrowed his eyes just a little, and Posey's nether parts gave a long, happy squeeze. Get his clothes off, those parts advised. We're lonely."

I stand up, trying to shake myself mentally. Get over him, Maggie, I instruct myself. I need to stop. I really do. I want to. I'm going to. I sound like a drug addict. Perhaps there's a twelve-step program for me. Priest Lovers Anonymous.

Nick," I murmured, "should I ever head into the cellar armed only with a ladle after the police have just warned me that a psychotic killer is on the loose, please slap me."

So you can't marry Harry, Mom! Not if you still love Daddy!" I sound like a ten-year-old, but I can't help it. Buttercup comes over to me and puts her head on my lap. "Love gets used up, Chastity," Mom says gently, reaching up to smooth my hair. "If it's not returned, it gets used up."

That moment when she'd crouched behind the tree...it did something to her, something that made her grow up and toughen up. But one question throbbed in her brain for a long, long time. Why? Why would Liam say something so hateful? How could he--who had tamed a stray and starving cat--be so cruel to a girl who had only ever wanted to be his friend?

Liam's face grew serious. "I'll take good care of you, Cordelia. I promise."

Calm down, calm down. Deep breath," Colleen whispered. "It's showtime. He's a nice guy, you're a nice woman." "Hey, Paulie," Bryce said as he loped over to Paulie's car. "Everything okay here? Our window just broke." Paulie inhaled audibly, her breath hitching in her throat. "Oh! Wow. Hi. Your eyes are so...so...blue." Colleen winced. "Stop that." "Stop that," echoed Paulie. Bryce stopped and tilted his head. "Paulie, relax. Just...just sa..
