I think we should try to find Rafe.I turned to her. I know you liked him. Everyone’s focusing on me, but you lost him, too.No, I didn’t. He was yours.He didn’t belong to any--I only started flirting w...
I suspect I could spend every evening this week with you and I wouldn’t know you any better than I do right now.Sure you would. Anything you want to know, I’ll tell you.That’s the key word, isn’t it?...
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?
I started forward, but Daniel caught my arm and wordlessly pointed. I followed his finger to see the elongated shadow of an ATV that was parked on the other side of the cabin.I swore.Ditto, he whisper...
I searched the darkness.I’m over here.I spun to see Rafe on the edge of the clearing. He stepped back, hands raised.That was a warning, so I wouldn’t spook you. A wry smile. Not much chance of that, I...
I loved Ricky. Still did. Always would. Yet as with James, there would always be that sense that we didn’t quite fit, that something was missing, that I could be happier…
I like Daniel. He takes care of you.I blinked. Oh my God. Did you really just say that? He takes of me?Dad flushed. I didn’t mean it like--Takes of me? Did I go to sleep and wake up in the nineteent...
I hear voices. A shout. A laugh. Clay's laugh. I strained to see through the night. Fog had rolled in from Lake Ontario, but I could hear him laughing. The concrete turned to grass. The fog wasn't fro...
I have one more task to carry out before I go, Moria. She turned to Gavril. You may leave us.I may . . . but I will not.Ignore him, Moria said. I do. As much as possible.I do not blame you. He seems v...
I had no patience with anyone who put down other kids because of their race, religion, or sexuality. But that’s just one kind of open-mindedness. There’s another kind, too, the kind that’s willing to...
I found something Simon said as he walked in. He whipped out an old-fashioned key from his pocket and grinned at me. It was taped to the back of my dresser drawer. What do you think? Buried treasure?...
I don’t know what your problem is, Sam, but you’ve now insulted everyone here except Corey.Oh, she already zinged me, Corey said. I started rubbing my temples and she suggested I don’t really get head...
I didn’t know what my tormenters wanted from me, but apparently screaming like a girl wasn’t it, because they ramped it up to a form of torture seen only in sci-fi movies.
I didn’t even notice I’d caught up until I was right beside him and he was leaning around the tree, smiling at me.Gotcha, I said.Uh, no. I stopped.He waved overhead and I realized we were as high as w...
I didn’t deliberately check my speed, but when we neared the top, Rafe was still beside me. I slowed and he was right there, his face inches from mine. He grinned, that blazing grin now, hair plastere...
I blinked and wiped my hand over my face. My fingers came back damp. I glanced across the room and saw my reflection in the mirror, hair snarled, mascara running, face streaked with tears.Yep, you loo...
I I saw a Whether there’s anyone in it or not--Who cares? Corey said. It’s civilization. Let’s go.He broke into a jog, and his knee gave way. I managed to catch him before he fell.The only place you...
He’s sorry, Chloe. He really is a sweet guy. Don’t be a bitch about this. And don’t screw it up. Just go over there. Give him a chance and, in no time, you’ll forget everything else.And that’s exactly...
