1 " ...there's no such thing as an underwear elf. Even when it goes missing, it's somewhere in the room. So make sure you find it." -- DARK OF NIGHT by Suzanne Brockmann "

2 " No doubt about it, Lawrence Decker was the reason God had invented nakedness. "
3 " She's smart and she's funny and she's beautiful and very sexy--""She sees me for who I am," Decker interrupted. "And she treats me like a man. Like an equal. Not some hero or ... I don't know what. She's not afraid of me. She says what she thinks, she never pulls her punches and ... I like the way she needs me. I really do. It's clean and ... honest.""And guilt-free," Sophia added. He nodded. "Yeah, that's part of it. It's complicated--like every relationship is. but I can relax around her." He searched for the right words. "I feel ... safe when I'm with her. "

That your perfect man was an act."She had to smile at that. "Perfect, except for the part where he moved to Maine. That sucked."He smiled, too. "Perfection's overrated, anyway. If he was real, you'd've been bored in a month. No one to argue with. "

7 " Comedy equals tragedy plus time "
8 " After we got back to the office, I wanted to show you his picture, and I had one on my phone, but it was so small, so I downloaded it onto my computer. Or was that your computer? Wasn’t that when you just got your Mac?” During the past year, Lindsey had become one of those obnoxious PowerBook users. Anytime anyone had trouble opening or downloading a file using their PC, Lindsey would nod and say, “That wouldn’t happen with my computer. "
