61 " Zayvion swore, and I mean he pulled out a raft of curses that made me rethink his upbringing. "

62 " Aspirin?” I asked. It came out sounding a lot like ass spoon, but Zayvion seemed fluent in mumbleze. "
63 " Shamus shrugged. “It’s all about energy exchange. It could always go the other way, me feeding a plant instead of drawing the life out of it.” “Do that often?” Shamus looked at me over his shoulder. “No.” “Why not? Have something against plants?” “No, but I haven’t met a vegetable good enough to sacrifice a year of my life for. "
64 " I relaxed my grip. “Say I win.” “I win,” he managed. "

65 " So if my ability to meditate was what was going to save the world, or at least save Portland, then I was pretty sure we should all think about moving to Seattle. "
66 " He shoved at me, tried to take control, but I was nothing if not made of stubborn. "
67 " He made it sound like he was teaching me the ABC’s and knew there was no way I’d ever make it to Q. "

68 " My dad told me he knew where to find Zay. Which meant I had to cooperate with him...."Do you see what we have accomplished together? The healing of souls with the magic you carry. We have healed souls in death. With light and dark magic."“We? No, you stuck your hands in my chest and stole my magic and threw it at them. If you try that again, you won’t have hands. Where’s Zayvion?” Okay, maybe I was a little rusty on the whole cooperation thing. "
69 " The Focal must hold magic, light and dark, together long enough for it to mend.” “How long does it take to mend?” “No one’s survived long enough for us to know.” I could see why people weren’t rushing to volunteer. "
70 " If this was what Mikhail called opening the gate close to Zayvion’s body, I was going to kill a compass and a slide rule and send them through the gates of death to him. "
71 " The pillow was heaven feathers in six-hundred-count cotton joy. "
72 " And you thought that rock was just ugly,” Shame said. “It’s ugly and powerful.” “No wonder you like it so much. Birds of a feather . . . ” Terric mumbled "
73 " Horseshit,” Shame said cheerfully. “He can dispossess you and die. Pretty easy, really. Most people die the right way the first time. You’d think a genius like him wouldn’t screw it up so badly. "

74 " Your friend split you open and nearly bled you out.""True. But he didn't behead me, which I appreciate.""That is the lowest bar for friendship I've ever heard of. "

75 " It’s not a damn death wish. I just know how much my pain is worth. "

76 " Is there a particular way you'd like to end up on the floor this time?" he asked as he shifted his stance and waited for me to attack. "Or do you just want me to surprise you?""Gee, if I get a choice, how about if I end up on top this time? "
77 " Listen,” I said, cool as a 911 operator talking someone down from a ledge, “you’re dead. I’m sorry about that, but I am not going to let you possess me. So follow the light, or go to the other side, or hang around your own house and haunt your accounting ledgers or something. You do not get to stay in my head. "
78 " Bonnie laughed, and I mean she threw her head back and cackled up into the rain. They say it only takes a tablespoon of water to drown a person. I was hoping they were right. But Bonnie didn't drown, which was an amazing shame considering the size of her mouth. "

79 " My voice rose up and up with each question, even though I didn’t want it to. It’s called panic. I’m good at it. "
80 " I opened the door as quickly as I could—speedy as a snail in glue. My fine-motor coordination was set on suck mode. "
