1 " The stupid vamp just asked me to marry him. Here, now? As if looking like I just died is how I wanted to be proposed to."Joy did a lap around Kylie's heart. "And you said?"Holiday took a sip of water. "I asked him if we couldn't just live together in sin.""And?""He told me it wouldn't be a good example to our students. So...I agreed to marry him." She pushed a hand against her forehead. "Dear God, what am I getting myself into? "

2 " Holiday leaned her elbows on her desk. "You can't find one thing that points to his guilt.""He slept with your sister!" Burnett roared."Guilty of murder, not of being a piece of shit. "
3 " Boy trouble, huh?""Boy catastrophe is more like it. I'm not sure I can do this.""Do what?" Concern sounded in Holiday's voice."Do Lucas," Kylie said.Holiday made a funny face and raised one eyebrow. "
4 " I've dug so deep into his background, I can practically tell you when he stopped waring diapers. "
5 " Take some very deep breaths," Miranda said. "Relax. Concentrate. Then envision a frosty six-pack and wiggle your pinky."A frosty six-pack. Kylie inhaled. He held out her pinky, and right then Della chimed in. "We are talking a six=pack of soda, not a cold guy with good-looking abs, right?"There was a strange kind of sizzle in the air. And suddenly appearing in front of the refrigerator was a shirtless, shivering guy with great abs. His blue eyes studied the three of them in complete bafflement."What the...!" he muttered.Kylie gasped.Miranda giggled.Della snorted with laughter. "
6 " He stood up. "Let's go." The sun spilling through the window hit his chest, making his bare skin look even more golden."That's okay," she sputtered. "You don't have to...tag along.""Yes, I do. I'm your shadow until after breakfast."Oh great. Her gaze slipped down to his open shirt again. Was she going to have to look, or try not to look, at his chest all morning? "Then at least button your shirt." The words were out before she realised how that sounded.The disappointment in his eyes vanished and a sexy twinkle took its place. The twinkle brought out the gold flecks in his irises, which she used to admire so much."Why?" he asked. "Does it bother you?"She glared at him. "Don't go there. "
7 " Could she learn to like this guy?"“It's nice to meet you." Kylie plastered a warm expression on her face. But she worried he could tell it was a sham."The pleasure is all mine," he said.Kylie just smiled. He was completely right about that. "
8 " Kylie bit down on her lip. Burnett took a step forward. He squared his shoulders, empathy filling his eyes. He took a deep, apparent heartfelt breath and looked at Kylie. She nodded at him as if giving him the lead. He looked back at Holiday and, in a deep voice, said, "Kylie has something to tell you."Kylie's mouth fell open and right then she knew it was official. Men sucked at verbal communication especially where anything emotional was concerned. "
9 " John rose to his feet and apologized to Holiday.Her mom seethed.Her dad tried to talk to her seething mom. Holiday tried to touch everyone.Burnett continued to glare green daggers at John, proving how hard it was for a vampire to accept an apology. Not that she blamed him. Kill him. Kill him. She cheered the vampire on.Lucas hadn't stopped scowling at Derek and Derek hadn't stopped ignoring Lucas. "
10 " You couldn't always control life, just your response to it. "
11 " There are a few people who are able to know of their death and use the time wisely. But when you start planning for the end, most people instinctually stop living for tomorrow. Living for the day is beautiful-too many of us don't do it enough-but to live fully, we must live for today and tomorrow. Think about it, if you knew you were going to die in six months, would you start a project you knew that you couldn't finish? Would you go to school to learn to be a doctor? Would you have a child, knowing you would leave it alone too soon? People miss out on so muchif they stop living for tomorrow." - Holiday Brandon "
12 " Don't lose out on something wonderful because you're scared. "
13 " just remember sweetie, sometimes we can;t change what happens, but we can change how we let those things affect us. "
14 " Have you been smoking something? Seriously, I think you're a werewolf. This new snarky attitude is a dead giveaway.""And vampires aren't snarky?" Kylie rolled her eyes."No, we're pissy. Snarky and pissy are two totally different things. "
15 " We all must pay a price for following our own paths. But... it's not always fair to ask others to pay that price. "
16 " Every new day was about opportunities. You couldn't always control life, just your response to it. "
17 " Was this adulthood? To wake up every day and know it would bring both good and bad? To do things you had to do, even if you wished you didn't have to do them "
18 " Sometimes what we don't know protects us. It can't hurt us if we don't know it. "
19 " Don't ever fall in love, princess. It hurts too damn much. "
20 " Cada nuevo día era de oportunidades. No siempre se puede controlar la vida, sólo tu respuesta. "
