Shane padded back to the couch and flopped, sucking on his own can of soda. Eve shot him an exasperated look. Yeah, man, thanks for bringing me one, too. The raccoon eye make-up exaggerated her eye ro...
Oh, come on, just this once, Eve said. Protects your neck. As in your arteries and veins?That's kind of crucial, right?Thanks for the thought, but it doesn't go with my shoes.You're seriously going to...
Myrnin turned away to pick up his Ben Franklin spectacles, balanced them on his nose, and looked over them to say, Don't do drugs. I feel I ought to say that.

Promise me you’ll marry me. Not now. Someday. Because I need to know.Claire felt a flutter inside, like a bird trying to fly, and a rush of heat that made her dizzy. And something else, something frag...
Oliver . . . well. Who knew if Oliver’s problem was the disease or just a bad attitude?
