I put the books I was returning on the appropriate desk, and I began looking at the shelves of new arrivals. Most of them were some permutation on self-help. Going by how popular these books...

Fiction just makes it all more interesting. Truth is so boring.

I held on to my better nature by my fingernails but I held on.

My pride had risen up and whopped me in the face. I don’t lose my temper a lot, but when I do, I make a good job of it.

My bullshit metre is reading that as false’.

I hate witches. Humans had the right idea, burning them at the stake.

But I couldn’t leave Hunter alone in the house, and I would’ve felt terrible if I’d asked Eric to go out in the woods by himself, even though I knew he wouldn’t think anything about...

the ache became longing, longing became nostalgia, nostalgia became fondness, and after a while he could see the funny side of it. A long while.

You are speaking of my future lover. Be more respectful.

How is Eric?”Very tightly wound. Plus, a lot of stuff happened that he’ll tell you about.”Thanks for the warning. I’ll go to the house now. You’re my favorite breather.”Oh. Well … great.’She hung up.
