Quotes edit
-
“I did not think you would say yes." "Neither did I." "Yet here you are. What made you say yes? Were you missing me as much as I was missing you?" "Were you? Missingme?" "Every night." "Then why did you wait so long to call?" "I was trying to be noble." "Noble?" "Vampires and mortals do not mix well, as you know. And while I think you would be good for me, I know I would be bad for you." "Would you? Be bad for me?" "Very bad."”
Joaquin Santiago, Regan Delaney -
“Reggie, what he hell are you doing here?" "Mike. What are you doing here?" "There's been another murder. I was about to call you when I noticed your car parked out front." He glared at Santiago through eyes narrowed with distrust. "I hate to repeat myself, but what the hell are you doing here? With him?" Santiago gained his feet. He was taller than Flynn by a good four inches. "She is having a drink with me. Is that a problem?" "Damn right." "Michael, knock it off. I'm a big girl. I can take care of myself." "How long have you two been here?" "Half an hour or so, I guess. Why?" "You're lucky you've got a good alibi, bloodsucker." Keeping his gaze on Flynn, Santiago gave Regan's shoulders a squeeze, then smiled smugly. "Yes, lucky." "All right, boys, break it up.”
Sergent Michael Flynn, Regan, Santiago -
“Doesn't it bother you, that you're...you know? Dead." "Do I look dead?" "No, but..." "Do I act dead?" "No, but..." "Did you think I was dead when I kissed you?" "No.”
Regan, Santiago -
“It troubles you that there is only one room." "Yeah." "Afraid I might want to share your bed? Not to worry. I will sleep on the floor under the bed." "Under the bed? Wouldn't it be easier to just get another room? I mean, I haven't noticed anyone following us, have you?" "No, but I will not leave you alone." "I admire your sense of chivalry, I really do, but...I don't know what help you'll be if Vasile happens to show up while you're asleep." "If you need me, I will know it. Self-preservation is very strong in my kind, as is the instinct to protect those we... Those we care about." "And you care about me?" "More than is good for either of us." "I care for you, too.”
Santiago, Regan -
“Do you know how beautiful you are? So incredibly beautiful. Your spirit is so strong and yet you are so fragile. So desirable. I never intended to love anyone again." "You...you love me?”
Santiago, Regan -
“What is it?" "The owl. The Apache believe the call of an owl is a harbinger of death." "Maybe he knows there's a vampire nearby." "Perhaps." "You can't be afraid of dying, since you're already dead." "But you, my lovely little mortal, are not.”
Regan, Santiago -
“Don't stop." "This is not a good time. You are far too tempting, and I am far too hungry, and not just for your sweet flesh." "But I want you." "As I want you, but..." "But what? I want you. You want me. We're both over twenty-one." "One of us is way over.”
Regan, Santiago -
“Do all vampires keep more than one place?" "The smart ones do.”
Regan, Santiago -
“How do the werewolves live? Do they get married, have children? Can they have children?" Santiago nodded, his gaze intent upon her face. "What kind of children do they have?" He laughed softly. "The usual kind. It is important to you, having children?" "Of course." "Why?" "Why? Why? Because I'm a woman, that's why." "I wish I could give you the life you want." "So do I.”
Regan, Santiago -
“Are you going to shoot me?" "Santiago! Damn you! You scared me out of a year's growth! What are you doing here?" "I came because I wanted to see you. I came because I saw you with another man and I wanted to rip his heart out. I came because I missed you." "Oh." "I came because I hoped you missed me.”
Santiago, Regan -
“My associations with vampires have never been social, you know." "No 'hello, how are you?' before you lop off their heads?”
Regan, Santiago -
“What the hell are you doing here?" "Saving your neck. And I mean that literally.”
Flynn, Santiago -
“Is something wrong?" "No. Yes. I..." "Go on." "I love you." "I know." "Do you still love me?" "Of course." "Remember when you siad you wouldn't mind marrying a werewolf?" "Yes." "Would you mind marrying me?" "Are you proposing?" "Yes. Shoud I get down on one knee?" "No, my love. I will marry you whenever you wish. What has changed your mind?" "I guess I just came to my senses. I love you and I need you and tonight I asked myself why we were apart. I'm happy only when I'm with you.”
Santiago, Regan -
“Still sure?" "Yes, it's just that...well, you seee, I've...I've never done this before." "Never? How can that be?" "Well, I...I just...I promised my grandmother I'd wait until I was married or twenty-one, whichever came first." "Are you telling me you are not twenty-one?" "No, but, well, when I went into vampire hunting dates got kind of scarce." Santiago rolled onto his back, one arm across his eyes. "I thought you'd be pleased." "I am, more than you can imagine." "Then why did you stop?" "I have thought of this moment since the first night I saw you, but I did not expect you to be untouched. To my surprise, I find that I do not want to take my bride's virginity before we are wed.”
Santiago, Regan -
“I am here with you now." "I...love...you." "And I love you." "I wish...I could...stay." "Regan, listen to me. I cannot let you go." "You can't...stop me." "Yes, I can. Let me bring you across." She blinked at him and then shook her head. "Very well. Rest in peace, my love. I will join you in the morning." "No! No...you must...not. Promise...me." "I have no reason to go on if you are not here. If I cannot have you with me in this life, then I will join you in the next." "You don't mean that." "I do. I have existed long enough. I will not do it any longer." "This is...blackmail." "There is an old saying: 'All is fair in love and war.' And I love you, Regan Delaney, as I have loved no other. In life or in death, you will be mine." "Let it be life, then. A long, long life.”
Santiago, Regan -
“You gave me your blood? A vampire giving blood. That has to be one for the books.”
Regan -
“Remember when you asked me if I'd rather be a vampire or werewolf? Well, I've been mortal, werewolf, and vamp...This way is the best way. Come on, let's go home.”
Regan
