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.
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 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 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 could have been a model. Hell, Ivy could be anything she wanted. Except happy. Ivy had issues.
It’s said that the reason the elves and demons began their war is because of a broken alliance, he said, the world-weary damage to his face making him look wise. I’ve always found it to be true—that t...
It was starting to smell really good in here. And if I liked what it smelled like, then they were liking what they were smelling, and ah…that would be me.
It hurts, he whispered, his hands falling to his sides. All the time. Even when I try. Tears warmed my eyes, and I pulled back so I could look at him. It will stop one day, I said as I gave his should...
In a smooth, unhurried motion, Jenks reached out and slapped him. Seems to me you should pull the brains out of your ass.
If they could swing it, most parents visited during meals to try to make their child’s hospital room into a piece of the familiar by eating with them, and the kids—without exception—were too kind to t...
I'm going back! I shouted, standing to put some distance between us in case I was yanking her chain too hard and she came after me. I'll show him, I said, waving an arm. I'll sneak in. I'll steal his...
I will compensate all your one-inch, two-inch losses because I know how important every inch is to you aged, decrepit men.
I was standing in a line, balanced between reality and the ever-after. I could go either way. I wasn’t his yet. One day a week, I said, knees wobbling. I give you Newt’s mark, you give me my name, Al...
I want to wake up beside you, see your curls on my pillow. I want a chance at falling in love.
I want an expresso. Black. But give me the domestic blend. That Turkish crap gives me the runs for a week. - Jenks
I thought Trent should get over his pixy paranoia and admit he had an eerie attraction to them, like every other pure-blood elf I’d met. So he liked pixies. I liked double-crunch ice cream, but you di...
I think she suspects something, though. We’ve had cherry pie for dessert five nights in a row. His voice drawled, and my smile deepened.
I sniffed, wiping my eyes. Look at that, I muttered. The bastardmade me cry.Jenks’ wings made a cool spot on my neck. Want me to pixy him?No. But now I don’t have the chance of a ghost’s fart in a win...
I pushed him away, catching Lee's awe that I was not only standing with a demon outside a circle, but that Al was treating me like an equal. Or maybe a favorite pet, I amended as Al caught me when I s...
