Quotes edit see section history

• “She strode down the row, up again, then down, her voice rising, a kind of fascinating foreign music.He didn't bother to curse, didn't even bother to question when he felt that last lock snick open inside him.He'd been expecting that.He was crazy about her, he admitted. Gone. Over the line. And sooner or later, he'd have to figure out what to do about it.She jammed the phone back in her pocket, blew at her bangs. "Italian publicity branch," she said to Ty. "A few snags that needed picking loose. Sorry for the interruption. Now where..."She trailed off, staring at him. "What are you grinning at?" she demanded."Am I? Maybe it's because you're not so hard to look at, even in fast-forward.”
