I tried to stand, but Daniel made me sit on the ground as he checked me out. He squeezed my shoulder and I winced.Just bruised, I said. I can walk.Rafe jogged over to us. She was driving? Is she okay?...
I swung onto the next branch as Rafe did the same on the other side. I felt the bear’s hot breath on my stockinged foot and snatched it away as his teeth clicked together. He roared in frustration, th...
I stopped. He looked at the distance between us and lifted his brows.This seems close enough, I said. For safety’s sake.Safe from the branch breaking? Or from me?He swung his leg over and reached for...
I pulled out his bracelet.You’d better take this, I said.He shook his head. I still need to take off, track down answers. Keep it.But it’s important to you.Proving I mean it when I say I’ll be back.My...
I pulled his hand from his eyes, and mouthed, What the hell?Play along, he mouthed back. Please.There was no teasing glimmer in his eyes. They pleaded with me so desperately that I felt a chill in my...
I opted for the rear door, both as a courtesy and so she couldn't freak out about me showing up on her front doorstep for all of East Falls to see. Being the village pariah does make social calls most...
I opened the note again. Just those two lines. Cool and emotionless. Left. Will return.I held the page up to the window, trying to see what he’d crossed out.
I opened my eyes and when I did, he was right there, and all I could see was his eyes, those amazing amber eyes that I could fall into and--I stumbled back. You’re not real.Mmm, actually, I am. Not a...
I need a huge favor, I said. And you know I wouldn’t ask this if it wasn’t important.Okay.Can I borrow your truck?He lifted one brow. That’s a huge favor? You can borrow it anytime. You drive just fin...
I love that woman. The only thing I want is for her to be happy. I'll do whatever it takes to see that happen. Do you get that?
I like castles almost as much as I like museums. Centuries of bloodshed and betrayal and heartache, all under one roof. You just don’t get history like that back home
I led Daniel to the master bedroom and closed the door behind us.What’s up? I whispered.Hmm?You’ve barely said a word since Rafe showed up. You don’t trust him.What? No. Of course I trust him. The guy...
I kissed him until I couldn’t breathe, and then I kissed him a little more, until I had to pull back, gasping.I have to die more often, he said. And he grinned, that incredible blaze of a grin that m...
I had a stupid crush on a guy who barely tolerated me most of the time. Was that the kind of girl I was? Pick the jerk over the nice guy?
I fired. The bullet hit him below the shoulder. He fell, his mouth working, eyes wide with shock. It might not be fatal, I said. Depends on how long it takes you to find your cell phone.
I finally snapped out of it when I realized we’d started walking uphill. I blinked and looked around. Fewer trees. More rocks. Ahead? Pitch black. I had to crane my neck way back to see stars dotting...
I do want to talk to Mina Lee and see what she knows, and the only reason I’m stalling is because I’ve got something to say first. It’s going to piss you off, and I’d really rather be sitting in a pub...
I do like you, Maya. You get that, right?Why?His frown deepened. Why what?Why do you like me?He laughed. Do you want a list? Smart, pretty, funny--That’s not what I-- I shook my head. Never mind.
I didn’t say it was a rational fear. But the worst fears aren’t, are they?
I didn't deserve Jeremy's kindness. I knew that. I suppose that was why I always questioned his motivation. In the beginning, every time he'd done something nice for me, I'd searched for a glimpse of...
