I'm worried he's going to ... do something crazy. He lives in a hole in the ground, dresses funny, and occasionally eats his assistants, Eve said. Define crazy.
Yes, he said. I am sure. I double-checked everything after you went home yesterday. I even made a few improvements, just in case. The first part of that reassured her. The second part... not so much....
Run first,' Shane said. 'Mourn later.'It was the perfect motto for Morganville.
Look, I hate good-byes, too. But sometimes, we need them just to survive.
I'm so glad you're okay.So, how do we celebrate my okayness? It's my day off. Let's go crazy. Glow-in-the-dark bowling?NoI'll let you use the kiddie ball.Shut up. I do NOT need the kiddie ball.The way...
I never meant it, he was saying. Never meant it to happen. Can't stand it,seeing her suffer. Must do something, do something... What do I do? What can I do...?
I don't matter here, Shane. I feel like I just don't matter. Stupid, right?No, he said. He sounded so gentle it broke her heart. It's how most people feel most of the time, Claire. You've grown up bei...

Well, Naomi said cheerfully, what’s the worst that can happen? They were silent, considering that, because there were just so many possibilities. But in the end, it was a better idea than Facebook.
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...
I'll do it!No, you won't, Shane and Michael said, at virtually the same time. Shane continued. You're barely on your feet, Claire. You don't go anywhere, not without me.And me, Michael said.Hell, Eve...
Great," Shane said. "Look i'd rather not be on janitorial duty. I have allergies to cleaners.""And to cleaning," Michael said."Look who's talking, Didn't the do one of those Animal Planet documentarie...
She came awake, stomach rumbling, and opened her eyes to see a plate being held right under her nose. When she reached for it, Shane snatched it back. 'Nuh-uh. Mine.''Share!' she demanded.'Man, you ar...
Shane dragged Eve's suitcase into the room and dumped it on the floor beside her bed. Hey, Dark Princess? Here’s your crap. Also, bite me.
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...
Mornings are pure evil from the pits of hell, which is why I don't do them anymore. Eve
Knowing Myrnin, there could be anything inside, from a body he'd forgotten about to his dirty laundry.
It's an illusion, control, Naomi said. You ought to understand that by now, young Claire. We are never in control of our destinies, even the strongest of us. All we can hope to do is not be too badly...
