"He shakes his head and gazes at the door as though it's a potential lover he can't wait to meet." Alyson Noel, Evermore "She wasn't sure how the clothes had ended up on her, but it didn't matter. She was sitting up and covered. There was an apple in her hand. "Remember to eat now." Irial stroked her hair back from her face, gentle like his voice. She nodded. There were words she was to day, but they were gone before she could remember what they were. "Troubles?" Irial asked Gabriel. Somehow Irial was at a desk far away from her. She searched for the apple she'd been holding. It was gone. She looked down: her clothes were different. She had on a robe; red flowers and swirling blue lines covered it. She tried to follow them with her finger, tracing the pattern. "The car's here." Gabriel had her hand and was helping her to her feet. Her skirt became tangled around her ankles. She stumbled forward and was folded into Irial's arms as they went to the club. The glare of lights made her hide her face against his shirt. "You're doing fine," he told her as he combed out her hair, stroking his fingers through it untangling it. "it's been a long day," she murmured as she swayed under his caresses. She closed her eyes and asked, "The second day will be better, right?" "It's been a week, love." He pulled the covers up over her. "You're doing much better already."" Melissa Marr, Ink Exchange "That was the advantage to having no imagination, Bonnie thought. You couldn't picture the terrible things that were going to happen to you." L. J. Smith, The Vampire Diaries, Dark Reunion "And this is how the ending starts. Like this, so simply, with one word, and you're going to die on a summer night. A summer night when the moon and stars are shining and bonfires burn like the flames the druids used to summon the dead." L. J. Smith, The Vampire Diaries, Dark Reunion "A sea of dreams trapped in a span of pressed pages... I see a thousand leather covers like doorways into worlds unknown." Laura Whitcomb, A Certain Slant of Light "Stale marshmellows burst into flames... like sinners." Jack Hunt "The fire roared its victory; then, with a crack as if a giant's spine had snapped, a central beam gave way and the roof collapsed in a peacock tail of sparks and flames." Annette Curtis Klause, Blood and Chocolate "She would cry tears like crystal dewdrops, and they would smell like salt." L. J. Smith, The Vampire Diaries, The Return: Nightfall "I lost it at the Rodeo." Phoebe ""And you guys've discovered the true fountain of youth, the real secret of staying perpetually young." "What's that?" "You don't have anything at all to do with women." "So women age you?" "No, women kill you from the inside out. It's the liquor you drink in order to live with women that ages you."" Pat Conroy, Beach Music "Because horror on Earth is real and it is every day. It is like a flower or like the sun; it cannot be contained." The Lovely Bones
