Alice looked up from braiding her hair. "Don't believe everything you think." "I once had a shrink give me a piece of string and ask me to guess the size of my waist," Nicole said.

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.

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 | ||

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 | ||
