“C’est moi, c’est moi,’tis I,' I told him. It seemed appropriately melodramatic, though I didn’t know if he’d catch the reference. I shouldn’t have worried.
Unexpectedly, he laughed. “Trust you to quote Lancelot rather than Guinevere.”

“Hard truths can be dealt with, triumphed over, but lies will destroy your soul.”

“Intelligent men are dangerous.”

“I knew he would never leave me, never let me down-because the man had never abandoned anything in his long life. If I hadn’t taken the gold rope of our bond, I knew Adam would have sat on me and hog-tied me with it. I liked that. A lot.”

“Any idiot can put up a website.”

“Civilization is vastly overrated.”

“Happiness is German engineering, Italian cooking, and Belgian chocolate.”

“The warmth of his body shouldn’t have felt good. He was angry and every muscle was tense. It was like being leaned on by a very heavy, warm brick. A sexy brick.”

“It is hard to accept being different, hard to have people avoid looking at you, and still believe in yourself.”

“Cheeses crusty, got all musty, got damp on the stone of a peach,” I agreed. He looked blank, so I repeated it with proper emphasis. “ ChEEZ-zes crusty. Got Al -musty. Got DAMp on the StoneofapeaCH.”

“Mercy is not a proper Indian name."……….."Rash Coyote Who Runs With Wolf. We could shorten it to Dinner Woman.”

“When life doesn't meet your expectations, it was important to take it with grace.”

“Mercy," he mumbled. "What the hell did you do to my French Roast?”

“Mine,… Mine is what she is.”

“I was going to fight vampires, and my name wasn't Buffy--I was so screwed.”

“The only certainty life contains is death.”

"I see dead people,” I deadpanned back. Oddly, it was Uncle Mike who laughed. I hadn’t thought he’d be a moviegoer.”

“A stupid ruler is much more of a problem than an insane one.”

“Where does a werewolf sleep? Anywhere he wants to.”

“If she know how strongly he felt, she'd have run out the door. He wasn't used to the possessive, or the savage joy she brought to his heart. It ate at his control, so he turned his attention to the music. He understood music.”

“Are you going to tell me what that was about?” Adam asked as we went back upstairs.

“Sometime,” I told him. “When we're telling ghost stories around a campfire, and I want to scare you.”

“He sighed. "I don't think an apology will do, Mercy. Because an apology implies that you wouldn't do it again. And, under the circumstances, you wouldn't do anything differently, would you?

"No.”

“No-pocket jeans are only slightly less irritating than thong underwear.”

“He was obviously dead. But since he was a vampire that wasn't as hopeless a thing as it might have been.”
