1 " Marland sighed. Her guesses were pretty good, but that was the bulk of her career in a nutshell. "
― Luke Taylor , Evening Wolves
2 " Then he thought of Marland just now, on the edge of the hill, how the newborn sun flamed over her shoulder, having burned through the fog of the night; how the tops of the trees were beneath her feet and the city of Crescent was small enough to fit in the palm of her hand. Her face could change like the sky itself and like the sky never lost its radiance and beauty. Sierra Marland was a facade with no end and yet she had been as genuine and true to him as the heavens were blue. "
3 " Her face, as God had made it, was beyond compare. "
4 " Would you believe me if I told you I had amnesia?” Her eyes narrowed. She didn’t speak immediately. “Yes I would.” “Why?” The man asked. “Why would you believe me?” The woman smiled. “Because it’s a terrible pickup line. "
5 " The man looked up and Tanya was staring at him through watery eyes. “Now you know. I don’t see how it changes anything.” “It doesn’t. You’re still a diamond in a field of mud.” Tanya smirked. “And what about you?” “I don’t know what I am.” “What do you want to be?” “It’s not that easy. "
6 " So what could she do? If he was gone, he was gone; and where he had gone he had not wanted her to follow. "
7 " That’s Hill.” She said in a voice only he could hear in the room of nearly thirty on duty Law Enforcement Officers and Officials. “I know.” “How do you know?” “I saw you stare him down.” “You were watching me watch him?” Erland shrugged. “When you put it that way. "
8 " Look...I’ve already decided I wanted to find out what happened, I’m fine with the consequences...so, if I am going to lose my job, I at least want to know the truth before I do. "
9 " There was no victory in death, just death. To live through the chaos would be victory and it would come at an extremely high cost. "
10 " Erland turned his eyes to the window and the figure that stood before it with arms crossed, staring into the anamorphic slurry of colors caught together in the burying of the sun as night fell like a jar of blue-black paint. "
11 " Loomis waved a hand and a squiggly trail of smoke followed like a magic wand. Loomis had a captivating subtlety and charm and was capable of more tricks than a sage in Pharaoh's court. "
12 " I’m perceptive enough to understand people’s souls to the extent that I know the real thing only happens in fairy tales but ever so often if people are patient enough...and mature enough, they find that person that unlocks a secret in their heart, even if they’ve never laid eyes on each other...it’s as if they already knew each other from a past life and they’ve been walking through amnesia waiting to remember what always was. "
13 " The blue eyes watched the Texan as his python skin boots took him into the dimness of the hall of doors and his escape from Corazon’s ICU was a clip clopping stride of broken confidence caught in the rebellious lighting of a cigarette. "
