Jeff Lindsay Quote
She stared at me You have a message, she said. On you machine.I looked over at my answering machine. Sure enough, the light was blinking. The woman really was a detective.It's some girl, La Guerta said. She sounds kind of sleepy and happy. You got a girlfriend, Dexter? there was a strange hint of a challenge in her voice.You know how it is, I said. Women today are so forward, and when you are as handsome as I am they absolutely fling themselves at your head. Perhaps an unfortunate choice of words; as I said it I couldn't help thinking of the woman's head flung at me not so long ago.Watch out, La Guerta said. Sooner or later one of them will stick. I had no idea what she thought that meant, but it was a very unsettling image.I'm sure you're right, I said. Until then, carpe diem.What?It's Latin, I said. It means, complain in the daylight.
