| 5d96b75 | With all the conveniences and clean simplicity we lived in, people had lost a lot of polish. | Kim Harrison | ||
| f817f88 | I cannot stay," he lied for me, eyes averted. "I'm only going to be here for a time, then leave you." His gaze met mine. "And I will cry when I go, because I could love you forever." | Kim Harrison | ||
| 3dc489a | Setting my spiced cider down, I put my elbows on my knees and sighed. I loved the solstice, and not just for the food and parties. Cincinnati dropped all of its lights from midnight until sunrise, and it was the only time I ever saw the night sky as it was supposed to be. Anyone thieving during the blackout was dealt with hard, curtailing any problems. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 0c6f4a3 | The ever-after is like a drop of time that got knocked out, sitting alone by itself with no past behind it to push it forward and no future to pull it along. It's hanging to us by the ley lines, sort of. Your circles aren't made up of differing realities, they're made up of the stretchy stuff that's holding us and the ever-after together, keeping the ever-after from vanishing like it should. | Kim Harrison | ||
| bcae9a9 | The only thing between your head and my foot becoming real close and personal right now is my questionable professionalism. | Kim Harrison | ||
| c7f7e96 | Rachel?" came Ivy's voice from her room. "Where's my sword?" The gray dimness of the hallway was soothing as I headed to the kitchen and my charms. "In the foyer where you left it last week when the evangelists were canvassing the neighborhood," -- | Kim Harrison | ||
| 1723c4c | Shifting Lucy to his shoulder, he began to rock without moving his feet, a movement new to him but as old as fire and having the grace of 1000 years. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 94d43bc | Yes, well, it's not, like I want to marry you" he said." | Kim Harrison | ||
| 5f1e9ba | And he was athletic in a lean sort of way, his long legs able to keep up with me whenever I coerced him into driving me out to the zoo for their early open hours for runners only; those hills were killers on the calves. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 33dc62a | I can't do easy anymore. It's too hard on my soul. | Kim Harrison | ||
| c2e8c20 | My name is Rachel Morgan," Al said, mimicking my voice perfectly. "I like black panties, action movies, and being on top." | Kim Harrison | ||
| 06b1784 | He stepped forward, forcing me back. "You're right. I made a decision. It was the wrong one." | Kim Harrison | ||
| 87904cd | You're taking classes? That's great. Crime scene etiquette, perhaps? | Kim Harrison | ||
| 4c4e971 | I don't want easy anymore. It's worthless and the shine doesn't last. But you already knew that. | Kim Harrison | ||
| cf2fdac | When desire's sold for freedom/and need exchanged for fame/those choices made in ignorance/turn to bloodstained dreams of shame. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 5a4c719 | I want to wake up beside you, see your curls on my pillow. I want a chance at falling in love. | Kim Harrison | ||
| bf0a506 | Oh yeah. We were all having fun now. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 59b6a8d | Maybe money couldn't buy happiness, but it could get you a table that looked like the back end of a deep-sea fishing vessel. | Kim Harrison | ||
| dcba82f | Living a lie tore at one's being and leaked out in the oddest of places. | Kim Harrison | ||
| d513d9f | Just what I need. My own personal shoulder devil, wearing black and smelling like the Garden of Eden. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 24c77a6 | If you're somewhere new every day, you feel no accountability. You don't care who you hurt. You do what you want and damn the rest because you won't be there for the fallout. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 4e2b2d8 | was terrified, and logic meant nothing when you were scared. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 7da8433 | It hurts," he whispered, his hands falling to his sides. "All the time. Even when I try." Tears warmed my eyes, and I pulled back so I could look at him. "It will stop one day," I said as I gave his shoulders a squeeze. "Even without your trying, and then you'll feel guilty. After that, you'll wake up one morning, remember her, and smile." | Kim Harrison | ||
| 7f4e872 | Happy endings were never handed out. You had to fight for them, earn them with bruised hearts and sacrifices. And I just couldn't do it right now. It hurt too much when it fell apart. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 3f2dc10 | You cannot thrash the person who makes you coffee. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 55add4a | This trial of yours tomorrow," he said. "Odds are three to one that Pierce will betray you." "I thought you said he was going to kill me," I said, trying to be flip. A smile lifted his lips. "Odds are eleven percent there. But the bookies don't know that he lo-o-o-o-oves you," he mocked as he put the puff on the end of the toasting fork. "Stay here. Forget it all, and stay here with me. Let me spare you that." | Kim Harrison | ||
| 1a25d4b | I'm going to love you within an inch of your life, then love you some more. | Kim Harrison | ||
| dea5f54 | You do the damnedest things in order to rile yourself up. Most people settle for doing it in an elevator, but not you. No, you have to make sure it's a vampire you're playing kissy-face with. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 09207f9 | Jenks's wings tickled my neck, and I shivered. | Kim Harrison | ||
| c631b22 | I fail to share your optimism about our intrinsic worth to a master vampire," I said" | Kim Harrison | ||
| ab11c1f | Al leaned close, voice dangerous as he whispered, "We don't forget, Rachel, and it's not as if it was our ancestors who were betrayed. It was us." | Kim Harrison | ||
| 32d44ce | It pulled emotion from me I wasn't aware I could feel. A deep painful regret. Unrequited need. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 1101999 | This was weird, civilized. | Kim Harrison | ||
| e30d38c | I'm a pixy, Rachel. I may look all tough and stuff, but I got wings, and I know infatuation when I see it. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 371a2c6 | Hope died hard, and the lie was easier to bear. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 161d2e2 | Una persona no puede hacer nada, Rache, pero dos pueden mover el mundo. | Kim Harrison | ||
| c38d57b | Newt turned back to me, her eyes black as the sun slipped away. From the slump of broken castle, a rock fell. "We exist in a zoo," she said, chilling me. "You know that, yes? I hope our funding doesn't run out. I'd give anything for a better enclosure, one that at least hides the bars." | Kim Harrison | ||
| 7b91323 | And you ugly when you ugly, don't ya, sweet thang. | Kim Harrison | ||
| e7099a2 | It's harder to fall in love with a man when he's killing people. | Kim Harrison | ||
| c6222eb | ate a chip, then went to the fridge for the dip. Everything was better with sour cream and chives. | Kim Harrison | ||
| d79cddd | the Uncommon Stupidity charge agents me be dropped." My shock at the "Honorably Ass-kisser" comment was pushed away by the thought of a law agents uncommon stupidity and wondered how we could get one." | Kim Harrison | ||
| 1bad5b3 | Sunt qui discessum animi a corpore putent esse mortem. Sunt erras, | Kim Harrison | ||
| 4342c71 | How do you deal with it? How do you keep from falling apart? That--What happened to them is horrible. How can a person do that to another?" Rose took a slow breath. "You cry, you get angry, then you do something about it." I watched her leave, the clack of her quick heels sounding sharp before the door closed. Yeah. I can do that." | Kim Harrison | ||
| 2dd75bb | Oh yeah. A cookie. That would make everything better. Dunked in a shot of tequila, maybe? Or better yet, just the bottle? Yeah, that ought to do it. | Kim Harrison |
