Ivy and I will deal with the uncomfortable situation like we always have…by ignoring it. It was something we were both good at.
Ivy had loved him, too—deeper, on a gut level, with the strength of the past, not like my new love, based on the idea of a future.
Ivy looked up, clearly embarrassed. I'm sorry about your men at the car. I didn't recognize them. They tried to stop me from coming in.My eyebrows rose, and Rynn Cormel's laughter shocked both Ivy and...
Ivy shook her head with a look of disgust. So you got caught. Big freaking deal. They knew who Rachel was, and you don't see her whining over it.Actually, I had thrown my tantrum on the way home, whic...
Ivy wanted to do something for me, and if she couldn’t give me a hug without her blood lust tainting it, then by God I would let her put that gunk under my eye.
Ivy, however, just wanted to get in David’s pants.
Ivy? I called as I went belowdecks, fear winding between my soul and reason when she didn’t answer. The silence ate away at my hope like bitter acid, drop by drop, breath by breath.
Just what I need. My own personal shoulder devil, wearing black and smelling like the Garden of Eden.
Kisten's eyes went distant, falling from mine as he gently pulled my arms into a less aggressive posture. Most people, he said, are desperate to be needed. And if they don't feel good about themselves...
Lately I’d begun carrying pain amulets in my bag, like some people have breath mints.
Listen before you draw your battle lines, lest you alienate your allies.

Men, she said as she took my arm and led me to the brightly lit room. They forget we need to see the outcome of pain before we willingly put ourselves through it. How else would we suffer nine months...
Mouse burger, I stated again, arms crossed and hip cocked. A weenie little man with the courage of a mouse.
Mr. Ray, you yelled at it again, didn’t you? I told you, computers are like women. If you shout at them or ask them to do too many things at once, they shut down and you won’t even get a sniff.
My gaze jerked to a blur falling from the ceiling. It was headed right for me! Gasping, I ducked. Nick clutched my arm. Thrown off balance, my heels dipped on the marble floor. Crying out, I went down...
My name is Bis, he said, and I was kicked off the basilica because I was spitting on the people coming in. Suck-up little Glissando thinks she knows angel dust from dirt and tattled on me.
Newt had said I loved Ivy more than the church. I wasn’t going to deny it, but there were all kinds of love, and how shallow would I be if my anchor to reality was a hunk of real estate? It was the pe...
Newt spun, making her robe unfurl. He’s my familiar, bought and paid for. I can claim anything of his. Even his life. Al cleared his throat nervously. That’s good to know, he said lightly. Important s...
