Quotes edit see section history

  • “My face held the single-most bizarre combination of features I’d ever seen. And by “bizarre,” I mean ugly as shit. But on the bright side, if the whole enforcer thing didn’t work out, I’d have a long career waiting for me in the circus.”
    Faythe
  • ““Was.” I stressed. “He was bound and gagged. Now he’s probably in there using the last of my shampoo. He better not come out smelling like lavender."”
    Faythe
  • “Who the hell is that?One whiff gave me the answer. Marc. I was in bed with Marc and Jace? I should sure as hell have some memory of that!”
    Faythe
  • ““Next time you want to manipulate someone, remember to leave the poor bastard a little hope to keep him cooperative. Simple, but effective.””
    Faythe
  • ““That’s only natural. Cats hate being confined, and I’ve certainly done my fair share of running in the past. Hell, I’ve probably done your share too.” I grinned..”
    Faythe
  • “As i watchted, the left corner of his mouth began to twitch above his thin, trin beard, a sure sign that he was having fun. The pompus bastard loved pushing my buttons. He'd just found the one labled Use With Caution, then poked it anyway.”
    Faythe
  • “In spite of the circumstances, I was happy to see him move like that because each new line that appeared around his eyes and each gray hair that grew at his temple reminded me that he was just as susceptible as the rest of us to the devastation of time, the wear and tear of constant use.”
    Faythe about her dad

  • “There are always choices. Plenty of choices. What there’s never enough of is courage—willingness to push past the easy option and see what else is available.”

  • Of course, like “be good,” “mind your own business,” and “play nice with the boys,” “light exercise” was open to interpretation. Right?

  • Life bites, and the harder you fight it, the more leverage it has to tear your heart right out of your chest.

  • Talking. According to Marc, I could talk the color off a crayon. Of course, that usually got me into trouble, rather than out of it. But it was worth a shot.

  • I wanted a do over. A time machine. That magic wand. But real life didn’t have any easy outs, and very few happily-ever-afters. The real world was more like a Choose Your Own Adventure book, with most of the choices ripped out before you even opened the cover.
