He looked at Chris as though willing him to fill in the blanks, but Chris's implacable eyes gave away nothing. "Wait," Beck said, "I just remembered something.

| cd7ac3d | Give me your hand," Alice said, barely a whisper. Bones held out his hand tentatively. She took it and placed it on her heart over her left breast. So small. So delicate. She didn't move. He didn't move. Alice was his life. How could he make her his eternal? "Kiss me," she said. Bones let his hand linger, and then slowly slip away, not wanting her to think he was greedy. He touched her cheek, careful not to poke her in the eye. He wasn't su.. | kissing love sex | Sherry Shahan | |
| 0a6e329 | Jack unpacked sweatshirts, sweatpants, thick athletic socks. He wore them to encourage his body to reach a temperature hot enough to melt solids. No matter what anyone said, sweat was nothing but liquid fat. That's why it smelled like rancid bacon grease. As conundrums go, sweat was also his most private and trusted confidant. | Sherry Shahan | ||

Tell him you'll take the twenty percent and forfeit the rest?" She looked at me. "You could stop running," I said. "I don't know," she said. "Maybe" | Steve Hamilton | ||
| ba7f49b | These are the methods of crude men. They can't face the challenge that a safe presents to them. They can't face the safe on its own terms. So they do what? Same thing men have been doing for thousands of years, right? They resort to violence." He grabbed the dolly and tucked it under the safe. "No patience. No skill. No intelligence. Just brute strength. They have to break something. It's the only way they know." | Steve Hamilton | ||

| 72405e4 | Halliday put up his hand to stop him. He'd been taught long ago to trust his own instincts, the same instincts that went all the way back to the brief time in his career when he'd worked with the agents who had invented a new way to track serial killers. These agents studied them; they interviewed them; they took them through every case, going over every detail. They got inside their heads, even if that was the last place you'd ever want to.. | Steve Hamilton | ||

| c529bca | I told you not to confuse forgetfulness with stupidity," Allen said. "She's extremely intelligent. Did you use the audio binder? Give her the Amneoset?" | Kim Harrison | ||
| 28681c5 | I loved Kisten. I wanted Ivy to bite me. It made sense, if I didn't think about it too hard. | Kim Harrison | ||
| dd46870 | The sound of his hard-soled shoes on the street faltered. "You live in a church?" My eyes narrowed. "Yeah. But I don't sleep with voodoo dolls." "Huh?" "Never mind." | Kim Harrison | ||
| b76fdaa | Tea?" Jenks was standing next to the plate of petits fours. "You want to have tea? Are you nerking futs?" -- | Kim Harrison | ||
| b532d73 | Every person has a right to the small things, you see? The little happinesses. After all, those are the ones that make life most worth living. It's what we're fighting for. | Kim Harrison | ||

I could accept his comfort, show my vulnerability--even if it might not last. The undeniable truth was, he was meant for better things than me. One day Ellasbeth would have him, and I'd be left with the memory of who he had wanted to be. "Rachel?" But I'd be damned if I didn't take what I could.. | Kim Harrison | ||
