Lynsay Sands Quote

You really should pull over and eat yours before it completely melts, Anders. It will only take a couple minutes. I don’t have a sundae, Anders said grimly. That’s Leigh’s. She said she wanted two, so she has two. And I told you I lied so you could have one because I knew you were too annoyed to order one for yourself, Leigh said patiently. Pull over and eat it, Anders. I promise you it’s the best thing you’ve ever tasted. When he didn’t respond, Marguerite said, Why don’t you feed him, Valerie. That way he doesn’t have to stop, but can still enjoy it. Valerie’s eyes widened. Oh, I don’t think— Just pretend he’s a sick and cranky child you have to feed, Marguerite said with amusement. Valerie’s eyes shot to Anders in time to catch him casting a dirty look into the rearview mirror, no doubt at Marguerite. Since the woman suddenly chuckled, she supposed Marguerite caught the look. Valerie glanced down at the melting sundae. It did seem a shame for it to go to waste. It was good ice cream. And it hadn’t been cheap. Just give him a taste, Valerie, so he’ll stop and eat it, Leigh suggested. Valerie hesitated, but they were pulling up to a red light and it wouldn’t interfere with his driving, so she scooped up a healthy selection of her own ice cream and topping and leaned over to offer her spoon to him. Anders eyed the offering, but didn’t at first open his mouth. She was just about to give up, sit back and eat it herself when he suddenly did. Valerie moved the spoon between his open lips, watching silently as he closed his mouth around the spoon and ice cream. She could have sworn the gold flecks in his eyes flashed bigger and brighter in the black irises and then he closed his eyes on a long moan that sounded almost sexual. Valerie stared wide-eyed as he savored the food, then withdrew the now clean spoon and sank back in her seat uncertainly. Told you you’d like it, Leigh said with amusement from the backseat. When Anders didn’t respond, but remained still, eyes closed, Bricker said, Yo, A-man. The light’s changed. Anders blinked his eyes open, saw that Bricker was telling the truth, and urged the car forward again. He only drove half a block though, before pulling into a mall parking lot to finish his sundae.
