1 " You can run. You can keep running to the ends of the earth. But I won’t be far behind you.”“Ethan—”“No. I will never be far behind you.” He tipped up my chin so that I could do nothing else but look back into his eyes. “Do the things you need to do. Learn to be a vampire, to be a warrior, to be the soldier you are capable of being. But consider the possibility that I made a mistake I regret—and that I’ll continue to regret that mistake and try to convince you to give me another chance until the earth stops turning. "
― Chloe Neill , Hard Bitten (Chicagoland Vampires, #4)
2 " You are a Cadogan vampire, by blood and bone. You have fought for this House, and you are mine to protect. My Sentinel, my Novitiate. As long as I am here to do it, I will protect you. As long as this House exists, you will have a home here. -Ethan "
3 " I'll have you in my bed again, Sentinel. And at my side. That is a promise. "
4 " Give me something to go on, here. What kind of black magic are we talking? Elphaba,Wicked Witch of the West-type stuff or Slytherin-type stuff? "
5 " You can run. You can keep running to the ends of the earth. But I won’t be far behind you. "
6 " If ‘just’ is all you can give me now, then ‘just’ is what we’ll do. "
7 " You give me thirty-two inches of folded steel and I'll take on anyone you want." -- Merit "
8 " Ethan sighed, then put a hand on my cheek. “I don’t tell you this enough, but I am incredibly proud of the vampire you’ve become. I want you to know that. "
9 " Ethan extended his hand. "Mr. Merit. Thank you for your help." My grandfather shook his hand, but he also shook his head. "Thank your Sentinel. She's a fine representative of your House." Ethan looked at me, pride-and love?-in his eyes. "We're in agreement there. "

11 " Learn to be a vampire, to be a warrior, to be the soldier you are capable of being. But consider the possibility that I made a mistake I regret—and that I’ll continue to regret that mistake and try to convince you to give me another chance until the earth stops turning. "
12 " Vamps are really only like ten percent fun at any given time. The other ninety percent is largely fretting. And bloodletting. "
13 " My job is to ensure the sanctity of this House. Ensuring the sanity of its Master seemed like a good start. "
14 " Friends in high places definitely helped- especially if you had enemies in even higher spots. "
15 " It was my TBR-my TO Be Read stack. The usual subjects were there. Chick lit. Action. A Pulitzer Prize winner. A romance novel about a pirate and a damsel in a low-cut blouse (What? Even vampire enjoys a little bodice ripping now and again.) "
16 " If only we could have picked our family... "
17 " He clearly wasn’t dissuaded, and stroked my jawline with his thumb. “You can run. You can keep running to the ends of the earth. But I won’t be far behind you. "
18 " Aw, sad face. I came up with that totally off the cuff. No props for off the cuff? "
19 " Only a four-hundred-year-old vampire would wonder if a grad student could understand procrastination. "
20 " In case you’ve forgotten, Ethan Sullivan trained me. And in case you didn’t know, Catcher Bell schooled me in sword craft. I was raised on ‘difficult to work with. "
