She was staring at you.''What can I say? Irresistible.' 'Shane, it’s not funny. I just—you should be careful.'Always am.' Which was an absolute lie. Shane’s eyes fixed on hers, and she felt a burst of...
And about Shane, I swear, if he doesn't snap out of it, I'm going to punch him in the face. Well, punch him in the face and then run like hell. - Eve Rosser
You're seriously going to worry about what people think right now?No, I'm worrying about people taking pictures and putting them on Facebook. That crap never dies. Kind of like you, Mikey.
Parents had some kind of sin radar, Claire thought. They always called when you were in the middle of something you just knew they'd consider wrong. Or at least risky.

Oh, he is cute! Shane said in a fake girly voice. Gee, maybe we can ask him out!Shut up, you weasel. Claire, hit him!

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...
Look, I hate good-byes, too. But sometimes, we need them just to survive.
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...
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...
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...

I had a good teacher.Better not have been Myrnin or I'll have to kick his predatory ass.I mean you, dummy.
What’s her name? Claire, what’s her name?
Shane? Thank God, somebody sane. Well, sane-ish.
