41 " Why are you worried about him? Des is a punk. (Urian)Desiderius is dead. Kyrian killed him. (Tabitha)Yeah, and I'm the Easter Bunny- see my fluffy tail? You don't just kill a Spathi, little girl. All you do is take him out of commission for a while. (Urian) "
― Sherrilyn Kenyon , Seize the Night (Dark-Hunter, #6)
42 " I wish I had left him as he was. I wish you had told me this would happen. (Amanda) Told you what, Amanda? That the two of you would spend the rest of your lives loving each other? Raising your kis? Neither one of you have any idea how miraculous your life is. How many people would gladly sell their souls for what you have. Forget Artemis and immortality. What you have is infinitely more previous and rare. (Acheron) "
43 " she said with a smile. "I'm an acquired taste. Most of my best friends had toknow me for years before they could even stand my presence. I'm like mold, I usually grow on you veryslowly. "
44 " You can be known as Val or Babycakes.”His gaze darkened. “My name is Valerius and I will not answer to Val.”She shrugged. “Fine then, Babycakes, have it your way. "
45 " I don't know," Valerius said. " I hear some godawful kind of music from outside, horns blaring, and I'm in a house with a mohawk cuckoo bird, a transvestite, and a knife-weilding lunatic.""Why are You at Tabitha's?" Acheron asked "
46 " Tabitha to ValBaby, open your eyes & look around. We're all damned in one way or another. But damned is a far cry from dead. And you live like you're dead "
47 " Tabitha checked her watch. It was almost ten.“I don’t know about you, but I’m famished. Want to go grab a bite?”Valerius gave her an amused stare. “You have to be the only woman alive who would ask a man with fangs that question. "
48 " La vida es una aventura. Es emocionante y aterradora. En ocasiones puede ser un poco aburrida pero jamás debería ser seria. "
49 " Looks like you’re naked.”His jaw worked as if he couldn’t believe what he was hearing. “I beg your pardon?”“Beg all you want, you’re still going to be naked.” Tabitha paused at the wicked image in her mind. “Come to think of it, a gorgeous, begging, naked man… that’s the stuff of fantasies. Begging won’t get you your clothes, but it could get you something else.” She wiggled her eyebrows at him. "
50 " I wasn’t going to say anything about that, Tabitha," he said quietly. "I only wanted to tell you that your compassion for other people overwhelms me.""Oh." She offered him a tenuous smile. "I’m just used to people condemning everything I do."He lifted her hand to his lips and kissed her knuckles. "I don’t condemn you, my lady. I only admire you. "
51 " Is there something I should know?” Valerius asked them.The instant Vane opened his mouth to speak, Tabitha kicked his shin. Hard.Vane yelped, then frowned at her.“What was that?” Valerius asked. “Why did you kick him?”“No reason,” Tabitha said, reaching over the bar to pluck an oyster from the pile. She looked angelic, which meant something truly evil was going on. "
52 " Life is an adventure. It’s thrilling and scary. Sometimes it’s even a bit boring, but it should never be serious. "
53 " Asleep he’d been more of a temptation than she wanted. He’d looked relaxed and gentle.Inviting.Awake he looked dangerous.And still inviting.She would give the goddess credit, Artemis had exquisite taste in men; and to Tabitha’s knowledge, and according to Amanda’s words, there was no such thing as an ugly Dark-Hunter. "
54 " Baby, open your eyes and look around. We're all damned in one way or another. But damned is a far cry from dead. And you live like you are dead. "
55 " When one was an immortal, the freshness of life had a way of dying even more quickly than one’s body had. As the centruies blended together, it was easy to forget the human side of oneself. To remember why humanity needed saving.It was hard to remember how to laugh. Then again, laguther and Valerius were virtual strangers. Until Tabitha, he’d never really shared a laugh with anyone. "
56 " Yeah, but emotions don't have brains. (Acheron) "
57 " Laugh it up, asshole. But she who laughs last, laughs longest and I intend to belly roll tonight. "
