| 3fa9911 | We spent the first half hour being escorted around the room, introduced to what seemed like every politician and business leader in the state. I know I should have been impressed, but I couldn't help thinking that I was in the same room with quite possibly every person responsible for the Florida election snafu, and the subsequent election of George W. Bush, and somehow I couldn't muster a proper feeling of awe. | Kelley Armstrong | ||
| bf8e17a | There wasn't much there--just Macy's school texts, various biology and anatomy and nursing tomes. Fascinating stuff, I'm sure. Especially the one on thanatochemistry, whatever the hell that was. | Kelley Armstrong | ||
| 06154d8 | I loved Ricky. Still did. Always would. Yet as with James, there would always be that sense that we didn't quite fit, that something was missing, that I could be happier... | Kelley Armstrong | ||
| 0e19956 | Mommy forgot to warn the new babysitter about the basement. | Kelley Armstrong | ||
| 4dfdc1e | I'd said to myself once that Gabriel preferred a life where he felt as little responsibility for others as possible. That was true. But even more true is the fact that he preferred a life where others felt no responsibility for him. | olivia-jones visions | Kelley Armstrong | |
| a1ebf01 | Philip wooed me with all the patience of someone trying to coax a half-wild animal into the house and, like many a stray, I found myself domesticated before I thought to resist. | Kelley Armstrong | ||
| 87c5569 | I don't want someone constantly pointing out my flaws. That's toxic. But you get it right. What's the old saying? Have the serenity to accept the things you can't change, the courage to change what you can, and the wisdom to know the difference?" His brow furrowed as if he was trying to figure out what the hell I was talking about. "You do that," I said. "You accept what I can't change, and you push me to do the things I can." "All right..... | Kelley Armstrong | ||
| 9174d2e | There'd been months when hunger seemed to be the driving force in his life. | Kelley Armstrong | ||
| 60b3790 | You don't pursue happiness. You pursue everything you need to have a fulfilled life, and then, if you achieve it, you'll be happy some of the time. The rest of the time, you'll be content. One can't sustain happiness forever. | Kelley Armstrong | ||
| 1cf2be6 | A soft poke at my shoulder blade startled me. I spun to see Simon, Derek hanging back behind him. Simon grinned, the sight as familiar as Derek's scowl. he said. I pulled it out and waved it. He plucked it from my fingers and tucked it into my jacket pocket. | jumpy simon | Kelley Armstrong | |
| c756ae6 | my voice cracking. Simon squeezed my hand. His lips lowering to my ear, whispering, He went rigid, head lifting. Tori said behind me. | derek simon tori why-is-she-here | Kelley Armstrong | |
| 100de7f | he snapped when I answered. I glanced at Tori's back, a half mile away. A growl. He knew better than to answer. Despite my lack of defensive superpowers, I'd gotten myself-- and Tori-- out of plenty of scrapes. Sometimes, knowing you don't have the skills to fight can be a bonus. With Tori, overconfidence equals lack of caution and, yes, as Derek would say, common sense. I said. A louder growl. I said. He grumbled something I couldn.. | derek not-there order take-care-of | Kelley Armstrong | |
| d7da82d | I stopped short and sighed as Derek stepped up behind me, arms sliding around my waist. I leaned back against him and relaxed. he said, bending to my ear. There was no trace of anger in his voice now. Now it was his turn to sigh. | derek listening order | Kelley Armstrong | |
| e81bc26 | I didn't say it was a rational fear. But the worst fears aren't, are they? | Kelley Armstrong | ||
| 4d4c998 | Cwn Annwn. | Kelley Armstrong | ||
| 0a4963c | Rafe shrugged. He twisted to look at the stab wound. I threw my arms around his neck and kissed him, and when I did, I knew he was real--the heat of him, the smell of him, the feel of him, the taste of him so incredibly real that it surpassed anything my memory could conjure up. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed me back, and it was like every other amazing kiss he'd given me, multiplied ten-fold. I kissed him until I couldn't brea.. | kiss maya rafe reunion survived | Kelley Armstrong | |
| 155490c | When I finished, Dr. Fellows said, She lowered her voice. I said. Her brows shot up to meet her hairline. Tori smirked and leaned back onto her pillow. Tori said. Dr. Fellows shot her a look, which Tori met with a cool gaze. Tori said, | chloe corey derek dr-fellows influence lie maya persuade tori | Kelley Armstrong | |
| 821dab3 | When Derek hesitated, Chloe said, He scowled at her. she said. | derek risk strangers | Kelley Armstrong | |
| c683866 | My fourteen-year-old sister Lara is a brat. Unfortunately, no one sees it but me. To everyone else, she's adorable. She's tiny and blonde and sweet and as helpless as a kitten. Chloe reminded me of Lara, at first. The difference, as I discovered, is that Chloe really is as sweet as she seems and she isn't as helpless as she looks. | helpless lara sweet tori | Kelley Armstrong | |
| 80e7f70 | I looked over at the others. Obviously Ash and I didn't. Daniel, Hayley, and Corey said they'd be fine. Chloe hoped she would--she had gymnastics training. Mr. Bae joked that it would be his first time in a couple of decades. Derek said nothing. Chloe said. She turned to us. Derek said. Chloe put her hands on her hips. | chloe decoy derek kill maya tree-climbing werewolves | Kelley Armstrong | |
| 7efed65 | I whispered down. Chloe said. Derek tried to stop her. She said it made sense for her to be in the trees with me in case of a ground attack, and that convinced him. Not that it mattered, I think--she'd have done what she wanted. She obviously didn't take his crap. Still, it would drive me crazy, constantly needing to remind my boyfriend that I could handle myself just fine. My brother was bad enough. | chloe derek maya stop-her take-his-crap | Kelley Armstrong | |
| faac71b | he repeated. I didn't answer. He shook his head. I rolled my eyes. | chloe simon tori watch-my-back | Kelley Armstrong | |
| e340391 | He'd want privacy for his Change and that wasn't vanity. I'm curious about many things, but witnessing the human-to-wolf transformation isn't one of them. "I'm going to try picking up visions," I said. "So try to keep the screams of agony to a minimum, okay?" A muttered epithet. I grinned and walked to the sofa." | the-change | Kelley Armstrong | |
| 188d089 | Too bad Guy interrupted," I said as we snuck around the rear of the building. "Otherwise, I could have just walked you down here before you changed back." His look said he wasn't dignifying that with a retort. "I always wanted a dog," I said, nearly running to keep up with his long strides. "My brothers were both allergic. Have I told you that?" "Once or twice." "Maybe, someday, you could humor me and-- "Don't finish that sentence." | werewolf | Kelley Armstrong | |
| 7ce9b28 | I think you intentionally overreacted. Like killing a fly with a baseball bat, just to make sure it never bothers you again. | Kelley Armstrong | ||
| 94d7069 | After a few moments of silence, he said, He moved down to the end of the couch, though there'd already been plenty of room. He put his arm along the back. He tried for a smile and didn't really manage it, but my heart still did a little flip. He's sorry, Chloe. He really is a sweet guy. Don't be a bitch about this. And don't screw it up. Just go over there. Give him a chance and, in no time, you'll forget everything else. And that's exact.. | chloe derek sorry-for | Kelley Armstrong | |
| 7fa5127 | Still, I shouldered part of the blame, maybe because it gave me some sense of control in an uncontrollable situation. | Kelley Armstrong | ||
| 114f533 | I needed to make choices for me, whoever I was. I'd say I needed to find myself, if that didn't sound like I was heading into the Himalayas, taking only a backpack stuffed with angst and clean underwear | life sarcastic | Kelley Armstrong | |
| f079f52 | Take off that cloak before you melt," he said. "It wasn't disguising you." "Nor is that" - she waved at his peasant outfit - "disguising you." "It isn't supposed to. It merely conveys the message that I'm attempting to pass incognito." "That makes absolutely no sense." | Kelley Armstrong | ||
| dab140d | Simon said. I glanced back at him. Simon chuckled. | derek flirting jealous pissed-off simon | Kelley Armstrong | |
| 7cc30d4 | Blast him," Ronan hissed as they surveyed the empty space behind the roadside shop. "He may tell us not to treat him as a prince, but he cannot stop acting like one. He does as he pleases." "Only when it's in my best interests," Tyrus said as he rounded the shop. Ronan glowered. "Which is anytime you don't like what you're told to do." Tyrus grinned. "True." | Kelley Armstrong | ||
| 5ee345a | Yeah, I worry what will happen when we stop running. When we go back to school. When she meets other boys. Boys who don't argue and snap at her. Boys who don't obsessively worry about her. Boys that could take her to a movie and stay right until the end, not have to leave halfway through because he started turning into a wolf. But she wouldn't pick up some random guy in the mall. Ever. So why was I over-reacting? I don't know. I saw the guy.. | derek other-boys worry | Kelley Armstrong | |
| 2794e23 | She pointed at the text as if it was a piece of rotten meat. I said. I picked the book up and double checked the title, to make sure I hadn't misidentified the subject. I said. I looked up to see she'd already left the room. Simon pointed at the text, grinned and faked a yawn. I said, striding after her. | chloe derek humor physics simon | Kelley Armstrong | |
| 29066cf | she asked. I gave a soft growl at the last one and she laughed. she said. | derek fetch wolf | Kelley Armstrong | |
| bdc1030 | I walked over to the paper and bent as the pencil began scribbling across it. A stupid question. Liz was the only poltergeist I knew. But if she was here, that meant. My heart started thudding again. I took a deep breath. I watched the paper. Nothing happened. No, she didn't. We hadn't taken them into the forest. If Chloe had managed to follow me straight from there ... I swore. | humor liz message | Kelley Armstrong | |
| 6eba2c1 | Something hit the floor with a crack. Nate turned and looked down to see his cell phone on the floor. He patted his back pockets, as if to be sure it was his, then swore and reached down. The phone slid across the floor. he muttered. It slid faster now, scraping and bumping along. Nate growled. As he took off after the phone, I looked out the bathroom door to see it rise a foot off the ground, then fall with a crack. Nate swore and picke.. | phone prank | Kelley Armstrong | |
| 57c11f7 | Her eyes widened in panic. I paused. She smiled. She blushed and lifted on her tiptoes to kiss me. | chloe derek sweet | Kelley Armstrong | |
| 3b208f5 | Now I was standing in a forest grove with a witch, a half-demon, a vampire, and a shaman, planning to put an end to a nefarious plot to usurp our powers and alter the path of humankind. Talk about your conspiracy theories. | Kelley Armstrong | ||
| 365eacd | As a vampire, you must accept that every person you ever know will die, and you are the only constant in your life, the only person you can--and should--rely on. | vampire | Kelley Armstrong | |
| 9005b96 | People today work as hard, if not harder, than they did thirty years ago. The only difference is the quality of the work they perform. They no longer accomplish anything of value. They only service the machines. | Kelley Armstrong | ||
| 6cab28d | So what are the other routes?" His lips curved. "Did I say there were any?" "You implied it." "Perhaps. And the next time you wish to leave, you have only to tell me, and I will show you ... and go with you." "I'm quite safe in the city." "But is the city safe when you are in it? That's the question." | Kelley Armstrong | ||
| 05d93d0 | The bracelet--an heirloom, I presume." "So you didn't mistake it for a 'cheap bauble' after all. And you still didn't try to nick it. I'm shocked." He glowered as he got to his feet. "What?" I said. "I've offended you? I should be ashamed of myself. Those pieces in your pocket just fell in there, didn't they? Damn museum displays. Stuff just drops off them--" | Kelley Armstrong | ||
| 9df75aa | Mmm, not sure I'd call Paige. Remember what you tried to do when you were possessed?" "That was not me. And don't remind me. I'm still creeped out." | Kelley Armstrong | ||
| d707b63 | They say all roads led to the imperial city. Of course that was true - all roads linked up with other roads and would ultimately take you anyplace you wished to go. This road did in fact become the Imperial Way, though, and was busy enough that they could follow Tyrus unnoticed. "Oh, he's noticed," Ronan said when Ashyn commented. "But he hasn't looked back once." "No, we haven't him look back. He's a prince and a warrior, Ash. He's not g.. | Kelley Armstrong |
