I looked down at my bloody shirt and jeans. My face hurts all over, I said to Ranger. Where’s all the blood coming from? You’re getting a bruise on your cheek. You have a small cut on your lower lip....
I like my nuts, Mooner said. I don't want them cut off. I'd be, like, nutless then.
I hope I'm not intruding,' Morelli said. 'I know you weren't expecting company.'This is the opening statement that will get you into any burg house. No housewife worth her salt will ever admit to havi...
I don't think his elevator went all the way to the top anymore, if you know what I mean
I didn’t do anything with him. He wanted a date for tonight. Holy crap, Lula said. And? Connie said. And I had a restless night thinking about it, I told them. I bet, Lula said. If it was me I would h...
I checked my phone messages. Three in all. The first was from Joe. Hey, Cupcake. That was it. That was the whole message. The second was from Ranger. Yo. Ranger made Joe look like a chatterbox.
I bet, Lula said. If it was me I would have been burning out the motor on my intimate appliances.
I always know it's Sunday because I wake up feeling apologetic. That's one of the cool things about being a Catholic . . . it's a multifaceted experience. If you lose the faith, chances are you'll kee...

His hands still held the windbreaker, his knuckles resting lightly on my breasts. An act of intimate possession more than of sexual aggression.
He’s the Wizard because he’s magic. He mysteriously passes through locked doors. He seems to read minds. He’s able to refuse dessert. And he can give me a hot flash with the touch of a fingertip.

He exposed himself,' I said. 'Men aren't supposed to go around exposing themselves at unsuspecting women.''Well, technically none of us was unsuspecting,' Grandma said. 'We wait for him to show up. I...
Grandma has some things in common with the Queen of England. They have the same hairstyle, they each carry their purse in the crook of their arm, and no one tells either of them what to do. Grandma
Grandma has a .45 long barrel that she keeps hidden from my mother. She got it from her friend Elsie, who picked it up at a yard sale. Probably it was in Grandma's purse. Grandma says it gives the bag...
Fifteen minutes later I was dressed in four-inch FMPs (short for fuck-me pumps, because when you walked around in them you looked like Whorehouse Wonder Bitch). I shimmied into a low-cut black knit dr...
