| 0960b9b | Mac was the romantic. He brought her flowers, remembered her favorite song, kissed her on the back of her neck just because. She was the type-A workaholic. Every day an agenda, every hour a task that needed completing. She worked too hard, compartmentalized too little, and probably would have a nervous breakdown before the age of forty, except that Mac would never allow it.

| 8537740 | You know about trauma bonding, right?" the agent asked abruptly. "Forget kidnapping victims, you see it all the time with battered women. They're isolated, at the mercy of their dominating spouse, going through intense spells of abject terror followed by even more emotionally draining periods of soul-wrenching apologies. The trauma itself creates a powerful bonding element. The things these two have gone through together, how could anyone e.. | Lisa Gardner | ||

| 8946dca | The truth is, genius and depression have always gone hand in hand.

| 6272b36 | Time seemed to slow as Chandra made a gut-twisting turn coupled with acceleration and a barrel roll, and guided the shuttle through a ragged gap in the rig's broken superstructure, like a fragile thread passing through a needle made of death. | David Mack | ||
