1 " I got over shy a really long time ago. I'm queer, I'm feline, get used to it. "

2 " This was how the world ended. Not with a bang, but with a whimper. "
3 " Paris rubbed his forehead against his, running his hands through Roan‘s hair, and said, 'How about we come back here and exchange notes once we‘re done with the interviews? Take a long lunch.''Only exchange notes?''No one said we can‘t exchange notes in bed. "
4 " A spa?""Yeah, Avalon Spa, you know the place near the mall?""Oh, right. What do you do there?"Again, the nervous glance at the floor, and the small flush of color rising up his neck.

You make me poetic.""I thought I made you horny.""Same damn thing. "
