61 " Silly little vamp, afraid of her feelings. "
― Kim Harrison , A Fistful of Charms (The Hollows, #4)
62 " Muttering about caves, Jenks came in with my suitcase, his eyes roving the low ceiling. He dropped my bag by the door, tossed me the keys to the van, and headed out, flicking the light switch several times because he could. "
63 " I was with a six-foot-four, athletic, angsty young man dressed in casual linen pants and matching fawn-colored shirt. Under it was a skintight two-piece suit of silk and spandex that had set us back a couple hundred dollars, but after seeing him in it, my head bobbed and my card came out. "
64 " Jenks made a face. “He turned my son into a thief and broke my partner’s heart. Why should I give him a draft of consideration? "
65 " Okay,” I said, resettling myself and looking up.You need the thrill of danger flitted through my mind, and I quashed it. "
66 " The Weres would track us from there. I’m surprised they haven’t found us already. I can’t believe you bit her. We have four Were packs scenting for our blood, and you think now is a good time to change your relationship? "
67 " If you think living with Ivy and trying to avoid getting bitten was difficult, wait until you try living with her while trying to find a blood balance. This isn’t an easier road, Rache,” he said, gaze distant and unaware of the worry he was starting in me. “It’s a harder one. And you’re going to be hurting all the way along it. "
68 " He may be your son, but it was my old boyfriend who got him in trouble. He lied to you. He lied to me. And I'm going up there so I can kick Nick's ass from here to the ever-after. "
69 " What in Tink's contractual hell are you doing here? "
70 " Alarmed, I looked at him, then the road, then at him again. "
71 " I expected it would be the same for me, and I wouldn’t show up as a wolf in black tights and a lacy pair of underwear —as amusing as that would be. No way was I going to show them I was a nasty pasty color with freckles. "
72 " You can’t stop me. It’s the only option we have to get those Weres off Rachel’s tail, so unless you have a suggestion, I suggest you shut up. "
73 " Por las bragas de Campanita! "
74 " Give me a minute to catch my breath,” I said, sneaking glances at him. “Then we can head to the car. I need a few more things to make the demon spell, but I’m too tired to do it now.” It grated on me to admit it, but it was kinda obvious. "
75 " I’ve got her okay.” Jenks’s angular face was pale, making him look as if he was going to pass out. “Jax, it’s cold out. Get in Ms. Morgan’s purse until we get to the motel.” “Hell no!” Jax said, shocking me as he lit on my shoulder. “I’m not going to ride in no purse. I’ll be fine with Rex. Tink’s diaphragm, Dad. Where do you think I’ve been sleeping for the last four days?” “Tink’s diaph—” Jenks sputtered. “Watch your mouth, young man.” This was not happening. "
76 " Can we get back to how we’re going to kill Nick? And what’s this about a dead body? You’d better start talking quick, Ivy, ’cause I’m not going to play hide-and-seek with a dead guy in my trunk. I did that in college, and I’m not going to do it again. "
77 " I liked my kitchen. No, let me rephrase. I loved my kitchen with the loyalty of a bulldog to his favorite bone. "
78 " You do the damnedest things in order to rile yourself up. Most people settle for doing it in an elevator, but not you. No, you have to make sure it's a vampire you're playing kissy-face with. "
79 " Una persona no puede hacer nada, Rache, pero dos pueden mover el mundo. "
80 " Just tape my ass shut and let me fart out my mouth. "
