1 " If it took me showing some warmth to get warmth in return, I'd do it. "
― C.L. Stone , Drop of Doubt (The Ghost Bird, #5)
2 " Bye, Dr. Green.” I opened the door, stepping out. “I said, call me Sean,” he called after me. “Bye, Dr. Sean.” “Bye, smart ass. "
3 " Well, if it isn’t the future Mrs. Green.” He rocked his eyebrows up and turned back, winking at the woman in the bed. “Excuse me, won’t you? I have to ask my future wife where she might like to go on our first date. "
4 " Not long enough,” he said. His green eyes smiled at me. “And no giggling. You girls and your incessant giggling. If it wasn’t so cute, I’d give you all detention for it.” “I ...” “And you’re the worst. Your giggling’s infectious and it sets everyone else off. Don’t think I haven’t noticed. First Luke breaks out, and then the rest of them start. "
5 " Dr. Green beamed. “A girl after my own heart. Give her five minutes and she’s ready to go. "
6 " I want her,” Nathan said. "
7 " What did I tell you about that giggle? If you start now, you’ll go all evening and get all my patients started and it’ll take me forever to calm them down. "
8 " Dr. Green laughed, resting a hand on his forehead. “You should have seen those boys. They ran so fast, you’d have thought I was the devil come to collect. "
9 " Peanut,” Nathan cooed. “You can’t paint it if you’re giggling and shaking. "
10 " rolled my eyes. “Dr. Green...” “Sean.” I stopped, blinking after him. “Hm?” “My name is Sean. You can call me Sean, if you want. "
11 " think apple pie is my favorite. Although, ask me tomorrow and I might change my mind. "
12 " Kota popped in beside North. He glanced around, a finger touching the bridge of his glasses. “Were we not invited to the ... zombie-nail-painting-cupcake party? "
13 " She said the secret to long life is to never stop moving. The moment you stop, you’re dying.” He poked me in the arm and sat back. “That’s your lesson today. Expect a test tomorrow.” I giggled a little. “Always teaching?” “I don’t have to today,” he said. “That was just a bonus.” He polished off the last of the apple pie, licking the spoon like a lollipop. “Ready?” “For what?” “You’ll see. "
14 " I’d gone from being simply awkward to being completely weird. Like I’d traveled a long way, only to feel like I was stuck in the same place. "
15 " You came back for me. You pulled a fucking knife out of my leg. What the hell did I do to get you to like me so much?” “You painted my toenails. "
16 " Do we dust for fingerprints now?” I asked. He swiveled his head back around until he was gazing at me. “Who do we look like? The Hardy Boys?” Silas chuckled at us without looking up from the laptop screen.Stone, C. L. (2014-01-19). Drop of Doubt: The Ghost Bird Series: #5 (Kindle Locations 945-947). Arcato Publishing.

17 " Mr. Blackbourne seemed to understand me completely, reading my thoughts. “I tried to deny it before, too. I can’t any more. You belong with us.” He reached out, his finger catching the tear on my cheek, cleaning my skin. Mr. Blackbourne, the perfectionist. He leaned down, his voice a soft whisper in my ear. “Stay with us. Always. "
18 " He dropped my fingers and planted his palms on the counter, one on either side of me. He kept them close enough that his arms were brushing my ribs as he hovered over me. His blue eyes locked on mine, the serious gaze deepening. “I want to know if you want to. Will you go to the movies with me? "
19 " Arf, arf, arf.” I yipped back at it. “Princess,” Victor grumbled behind me. “Please stop barking at the neighbors.”Stone, C. L. (2014-01-19). Drop of Doubt: The Ghost Bird Series: #5 (Kindle Locations 1721-1722). Arcato Publishing. Kindle Edition. "
20 " Gabriel started to open his mouth, but Luke was on top of him quickly, cupping his hand over his face. Gabriel glared at him. Luke signed to me one-handed, “See why I brought you along last time?” I signed back. “You never taught him sign language?” Gabriel grunted, impatient. Luke grinned. He started signing. “We should pretend we’re talking about him.” “Stop talking about me,” Gabriel whisper-whined.Stone, C. L. (2014-01-19).
