If you stay away from the wrong foods you’ll live longer, Maggie reminded him. I probably won’t. But it’ll damn sure seem longer. Cal
I think you should go take a shower. Clean up. I’ve been in labor all day, but the contractions are getting serious now and I’m going to call Mel to touch base. Are you fucking kidding me? We’re gonna...
I think loving someone and losing them can leave a hole in your heart.
I should thank you, I think. I know that John called you about my...situation. My ex-husband. Ex now? he asked. Yes, very recently. I don’t even carry the name anymore. And I guess, if you’re still he...
I miss you, mija, he would say, his voice husky. I can’t wait until you threaten me with a broken heart again. I think you’re all talk and you’ve lost interest in my heart. And she would say, Not at a...
I don’t know what I’d do without you, she told him. He smiled sweetly. You’d be miserable. He touched his glass to hers. To Doc, he said. To Doc. The biggest pain-in-the-ass country doctor in three co...
I don’t know much about movies. Haven’t seen too many. And I don’t know anything about movie stars. Retired, she said. I’m sanding, varnishing, hauling trash and training my bird dog. I’m going to pic...
I don’t have room in my life for hate. I tried it for a while. It didn’t work.
I didn’t offer so that you’d feel obligated to me in any way. I mean, who knows? Jack Whatshisname might turn out to be just what you’ve always dreamt of. You jealous of him already? she asked. You’re...
I can’t do violence in front of her. She might think I’m like him. I’m not like him.
How would your family feel about a fast wedding? He chuckled. Relieved, believe me. My mother’s secret fear is that I’ll die a lonely old man. Paul, you can’t tell your family that one woman is having...
He’d be glad you were there, standing in for him. I was just telling him about it and I thought, shit, I don’t even know how much of him is in there. None, Jack said. He’s moved on. Paul hit his chest...
He went into the hall bathroom that separated the two bedrooms and lifted the lid. He yawned. He scratched his head and felt foreign objects in his hair. While he continued to aim the stream into the...
He wasn’t nearly as smooth, as romantic as Cameron! He wasn’t as pretty, and Lord knew, he didn’t want her like Cameron did. Then she remembered the way he laid his head on her shoulder and wept right...
He still had on last night’s trousers. Not a good sign. However, she had not killed him in his sleep—and that was a good sign. She was probably saving his execution for later, when he could feel it. H...
He stared down at the baby for a second in awe, in wonder, and then he lifted his eyes to Brie’s and broke into a huge smile. She doesn’t feel like anything! he said softly. I know. It takes some gett...
He held out his hand. What? she said. Put your head in the sink, he said. I’ll do it. Why? Because it’ll be hard for you to know if the soap’s out. It’ll be faster and easier if I just do it for you....
He heard a low, faint growl and looked toward the end of the couch to see that little blond-and-white dog baring his teeth. The little bastard was wearing a tutu. You bite me again, we’re going to hav...
He found himself thinking, Paul is going to kill me. I’m thinking carnal thoughts about the maid of honor and how to get her out of this pink dress and Paul is going to kill me. But I will die happy,...
He found her in the bathroom, wearing one of his huge T-shirts, and he caught her softly crying. It had been a very long time since he’d seen her tears, and it knocked the wind out of him. He couldn’t...
