M.A. George QUOTES

1 " You’re injured.” He flicks his chin at my bleeding leg.
“We need to get that cleaned up.”
“It’ll be fine,” I wave it off. “My mom will descend upon me with a bottle of
peroxide the second I hit the door. "

2 " As one of the little streams starts snaking my way, inching closer to the toe of my shoe, I hop over the spreading puddle and out of its reach. I don’t look back to see if it’s going to follow me. I’m already three blocks away and still gaining speed "

3 " All kidding aside…” I focus back on Pyke, genuine sincerity in my tone.
“Thank you…for everything. For dragging my ‘clueless ass’ through the ocean, and
over hill and vale, when you knew it was futile and stupid—but that I’d still try to do it, with or without your help. Thanks for tracking me down when I was alone and helpless; and for giving me a voice when I thought all hope was lost—”

“Ugh, for crying out loud…Enough already,” Pyke squirms, a nauseated
grimace twisting his hairy face. “Now you’re going way overboard with the
gratitude…That kind of gushy crap is meant to be dished out in small doses,” he gripes. “Please make it stop…before I have to snap my own neck, just to end the suffering.” He backs away into the crowd, giving Tristan’s shoulder one more slap with a sly wink. “Hurry up, Man, and do something. Kiss her, muzzle her…shove a sock in her mouth— "

4 " Fair enough…No inhaling battery acid,” I smirk. “We can’t breathe battery
acid, can we? "

5 " You didn’t just accidentally win my favor,” I dispute, slowly shaking my
forehead against his.
“You earned it. Now, if I can just save your life twenty or thirty more times…We might actually be able to call it even. "

― M.A. George

6 " You scared the crap out of me,” I shove his bare chest with a growl. “Was
that you at the front door?”

“Ya think?” He fires back with a raise of his eyebrows, taking hold of my arm
again, as he practically drags me back
toward the front entry.

“Did it occur to you to say something?” I shoot back with a scowl. “I thought
you were some kind of psychopath.”

My frown deepens, as I consider whether he might in fact be a psychopath. "

7 " I didn’t intend it to come out sarcastically, but I guess that’s just where my tone of voice automatically goes these days. "

8 " Phrase the question any way you like…The answer will still be ‘Kiss my ass. "

9 " I paused for a moment, debating whether to turn and look what was happening. My senses told me Obo’s presence was still at my side, and turning my face into the barrel of a gun seemed like an ill-advised way to cap off this day of monumentally stupid decisions. "

10 " Wow…At least I can rest assured that you definitely can’t read my mind,” I remarked. “Clearly you know nothing about me…because the surest way to keep me from doing something is to tell me I have no other choice. "

11 " It’s a sad state of affairs when I’m the one bringing sanity to the equation "

― M.A. George , Relativity (Proximity, #2)

12 " There’s an empty seat next to me in the ‘intensely aggravating’ section…and it’s got your name on it "

― M.A. George , Relativity (Proximity, #2)

13 " I missed her smile…the way she would roll her eyes when she thought I was being ridiculous…the quiet way she almost tiptoed when she walked that gave her away as a ballerina…the fact that she could probably give me a fairly decent ass-kicking if she set her mind to it. I missed it all.

I missed her. "

14 " The cleanest civilization I’ve ever seen…and the number one thing you pack for a wedding is a jar of dirt? "

― M.A. George , Relativity (Proximity, #2)

15 " Suddenly, I saw ocean again—then another horizon line—but this time the deep blue sky was on the wrong side of the line…the Holy crap, we’re upside down side. "

― M.A. George , Relativity (Proximity, #2)

16 " I wish I could say I’m low maintenance, but I like some of the finer things in life…like a toothbrush. "

― M.A. George , Proximity (Proximity, #1)

17 " But you know as well as I do that anger won’t solve anything.”

“I beg to differ,” he shrugged. “Anger can be quite rewarding…at least for those of us who have the option of blasting our enemies to oblivion. "

― M.A. George , Relativity (Proximity, #2)

18 " With an ashamed sigh, I confessed, “You have seen nothing but the worst of me since then, Aeron. I’ve been a bitter, defiant, irrational shrew…and now I’m selfishly dragging you into a hopeless situation against your better judgment. What would possibly entice you to make good on a marriage proposal under such circumstances?”

“You would…” his voice was gentle, as his troubled eyes searched mine. “If what I’ve seen is the worst of you…then it will be a miracle if I ever find a way to deserve you. "

19 " My only regret,” he gently tugged me back toward him, “would be leaving this world before naming you as my wife. If I die tomorrow, at least I’ll have that to my credit.” Wrapping his arms around my waist, he vowed, “You don’t have to be queen…but you will not fall into obscurity on a foreign world. You will bear the Omuran name, and I have to believe that will protect you.” He brought his forehead to rest against mine, adding sorrowfully, “I have to believe that our family line wasn’t meant to end with this. "

20 " I tried not to think of all the horror movies featuring this exact scenario, soon to be followed by an abundance of gratuitous blood and gore. "
