Frasi di Kelley Armstrong

“Suona un po' strano però. A malapena la conoscevi, e sei la prima a volerle telefonare?"
"Si chiama premura. Ne hai mai sentito parlare?" con un colpo scacciò la mia mano dal quadrante "Scuri, acqua fredda. Oppure ti ritroverai con un carico di capi stinti." mi lanciò un'occhiata. "Vedi? Sono premuroso."
"Per forza, è quasi tutta roba tua lì dentro.”

“Mi stupisco che non ci abbia ancora mandato gli auguri di Natale", ha commentato Antonio. "Me li immagino, di buon gusto, stampati in rilievo su pergamena, le migliori cartoline che riesce a rubare. Un breve messaggio in perfetta calligrafia: 'Buone vacanze, spero che stiate tutti bene. Ho fatto a fettine Ethan Ritter a Miami e ho gettato i resti nell’Atlantico. Vi faccio i miei migliori auguri per l’anno nuovo. Karl'.”

“That's what being crazy was, wasn't it? You thought you were fine. Everyone else knew better.”

“I don't forgive him," I said.
"Hell, no, you don't. And why should you? So he can feel better? Get on with his life? And what's he done to help you get on with yours?”

“They found me at the kitchen table. Derek said, "There's something we need to tell you," and from the look on Andrew's face, I think he expected Derek to say he'd gotten me pregnant.”

“Was she telling you to stay away from me?" I asked.
He paused, then said, "Yeah." He squeezed my hand out of Aunt Lauren's sight. "It's okay. We're good."

Chloe and Derek”

“When I leaned a little too close to the doorway, my inner voice piped up, telling me not to be stupid. The guy with the bionic senses was better equipped for this.”

“He said "cool" like I say a Spanish word when I'm not sure of the pronunciation.”

“We scarified a mosquito. I bet that's what did it. It was probably a virgin too.”

“Maturity is highly overrated.”

“I've spent the last decade learning to stand firm and face my problems… or at least batter them until they're unrecognizable.”

“We’re not naked, we’re skyclad!”

“I'm not going anywhere, not without Chloe."
Derek”

“Uh-uh. We've played this game before. I hide. You never seek. I'm a bit slow on the uptake, but I'm beginning to sense a pattern."
- Clay to Elena”

“I want you to have big dreams, big goals. I want you to strive to achieve them. But I don't want to see you beating yourself up every time you make a mistake.”

“There was no closing my eyes and sliding back into that blissful dream of normal. This was my normal now.”

“He lunged again. This time I stood my ground and he checked his leap at the last second…. and toppled sideways. I didn't hide my laugh that time. His face twisted fast, grabbed my pajama leg and wrenched, and down I went.
"Bully”

“Rafe didn't just flirt-he charmed girls right up to the point where they fell for him, then he changed his mind. I called him a player with attention deficit disorder.”

“I had a stupid crush on a guy who barely tolerated me most of the time. Was that the kind of girl I was? Pick the jerk over the nice guy?”

“I screwed up. Again. You're shocked, I'm sure.”

“What's wrong?"
I didn't say a word."
Something's up. What is it?"
Nothing."
His head turned, gaze going to mine. "Yeah?"
Yes."
A snort and he returned to his bowl…”

“Maybe my expectations for honesty are too high.”

“It was completely fifth garde and completely silly and I loved it, because he wasn't afraid to be silly. It was like kissing him first - I could do whatever I wanted and not have to worry what he'd think of me.”

“It's because when we sneeze, our soul flies out our nose and if no one says 'bless you,' the devil can snatch it.”

“Got your text,” he said when I climbed out. “How much did it hurt?”
“Not at all,” I said. “Apparently, I can’t get a tattoo because I’m a witch.”
“I could have told them-” He stopped. “Oh, you said witch.”
“Ha-ha.”

“Perfect night, wasn't it?"

"It could have been." I smiled up at him. "But you were there.”

“Where's Simon?"…"Is he okay? Why isn't he here?" She glared at Derek. "Where'd you leave him?"
Passed out in an alley." Derek frowned in thought. "Not sure where, though…”

“No. Harsh truth was better than comfortable lies. It had to be.”

“His cheek twitched. With Jeremy, this was the equivalent of an emotional outburst.”

“As I recall, I was still dressed when I fell asleep."

"Just making sure you were comfortable."

"And making yourself equally comfortable, I see.”

“You'd expect that as much as a samurai would expect a kick in the balls.”
