The Janus Guard will also be out that night,_ he said, one hand reaching out to squeeze her shoulder. __ust as we have been and will be for every night of the Nine.___ood.___peaking of which__elley_ Sonny seemed suddenly exhausted. He turned his face to the west, and she could see the fatigue etched into the lines and planes of his face. __t__ getting late. You need to leave the park. Please. Don__ argue with me this time.

You__e really hurt. Aren__ you?___t__ not so bad.___ow. You are a terrible liar.__e frowned fiercely at her.__ou also look like you haven__ slept in a week._ She took a tentative step toward him and put a hand on his chest, looking up into his silver-gray eyes. He put his hand over the top of hers, and she could feel the rhythm of his heart beating under her palm, through his shirt and the bandages.____ fine.___re you sure?__ith his other hand, Sonny reached up and brushed a stray auburn curl out of her eyes.____ sure.__e smiled down at her, and she felt her insides melt a little. His whole face changed when he smiled. It was like the sun coming out.__ut,_ he continued, ____l be even better if you are safe at home and I don__ have to worry about you for tonight.___ can take care of myself, Sonny Flannery,_ she bristled, halfheartedly.__lease?_ He turned up the wattage on his smile.___okay._ She felt her own lips turn up in a shy, answering smile. ____l be good.

Because something inside of my heart is ripping apart and it feels like fear, it tastes like panic and anxiety and desperation and I don't know how to understand th image in front of me. I don't want to see Warner like this. I don't want to think of him as anything other than a monster.This isn't right

If I were to live a thousand years, Iwould belong to you for all of them. If we were to live a thousand lives, I would want to make you mine in each one.

I don't care about anything. But I care about you.

Not that time alone with Ingrid was something to wish away. She'd chosen him. Given herself to him, and even though he couldn't claim her in the human way, she was still his. Passing the day and night in the quiet town home was giving him a taste of his fantasy, sweet as meringue and just as easily dissolved.

Why are you here, Wesley?___ told you,_ he said. __ got worried. You__e been avoiding me for the past week at school, and when I called you today, you didn__ answer. I thought something might have happened with your dad. So I came to make sure you were okay.__ bit my lower lip, a wave of guilt washing over me. __hat__ sweet,_ I murmured. __ut I__ fine.

Your flavor in my mind swings back and forth between sweeter than any wine and as bitter as mustard greens.

I have built, deep in my heart, a chapel filled with you.

Well, it__ too late. I__ already attached. And you won__ know if it will last unless you really, really try, right?___hat is that supposed to mean?___ell, Charlie said I could live with them. And you too. She really likes you. She said she__ never had a mother, and she asked me if I would mind sharing mine. I told her I wouldn__ if she didn__ mind sharing her father.

Let her go!" That was a new voice, young but full of authority. ... There was Prince Maxon...."Open the doors.""But-Your Majesty-""Open the doors now and let her go. Now!

A gray V-neck T-shirt hugged his wide shoulders and broad chest, then hung loose over his tight abdomen. a pair of worn Levi's lovingly cupped his generous package, embraced long legs, and broke across the tops of well-worn cowboy boots. Jackson had the type of physique that made a woman's girl parts tingle. She'd have to be dead not to include herself in that party. Especially since her girl parts had been told "No" way too many time sin recent years.

You're not my first. You don't deserve that category. Being first means others will come after you-that we will eventually end. And we don't. You're my last, because you never left.

ALL SAY I AM SWEET,SINCE I NEVER CHEAT,I DO THINGS NEAT,WHETHER IT IS TO EAT,FOR WELL-WISHERS I HAVE A TREAT,TODAY I STAND ON MY FEET.

You're too sweet for your own damn good.

He was nobody, but a sweet liar!

I don't have any need to breathe. You are my breath.

And he listened to me. That was the thing he did, as if he was trying to fill himself up with all the sound he could hear.

Being this close to him was like sitting under a hotness heat lamp. In the desert. At high noon.
