Quote

When you're a professional you do your job no matter what gets in the way. You might take a sick day, you might take a personal day, but then you show back up or you won't get paid. Everyone develops his/her own strategy for dealing with days that are not productive.

So, on the whole, I'd have to say that no, people don't change, but they CAN learn to behave differently. I want to believe otherwise. If you have an argument that says I'm wrong, I'd be glad to hear it.

I’d always enjoyed life, and I knew I would again. But I was going to have to slog through a lot of bad patches to get there

He pulled my coat off my shoulders, looked at it with distaste, hung it on the back of one of the chairs pushed in under the kitchen table. You are beautiful. No one had ever looked me in the eyes and said that. Eric to Sookie, Page 208.

I did what I have been told to do by my queen. In so doing, I fell into a trap I couldn't escape. I still can't. The trap of LUUUUVVVV, I thought sarcastically. But he was too serious, too calm, to mock.

Eric was holding my hands, and I was digging my nails into him like we were doing something else. He won't mind, I though, as I realized I'd drawn blood. And sure enough, he didn't. Let go, he advised me, and I loosened my grip on his hands. No, not of me, he said smiling. You can hold on to me as long as you want.

The note, which had been written on one of the pads I kept around for grocery lists, said, My lover, I came in too close to dawn to wake you, though I was tempted. Your house is full of strange men. A fairy upstairs and a little child downstairs- but as long as there's not one in my lady's chamber, I can stand it.

We could go back to your house. I can stay with you always. We can know each others bodies in every way, night after night. I could love you. I could work, you would not be poor. I would help you.

You think that it’s not magic that keeps you alive? Just ‘cause you understand the mechanics of how something works, doesn’t make it any less of a miracle. Which is just another word for magic. We’re all kept alive by magic, Sookie. My magic’s just a little different from yours, that’s all.

Do I look like I have anything ? I asked him, in a reasonable voice. He looked as unnerved as the nurse had. He said, Sorry, and backed away. I took a step after him. I screamed, I HAVE NOTHING! And then I said, in a perfectly calm voice, See, I never had anything to start with.

My favorite fantasy? You come down into my daytime resting place stark naked, he said, and I could see the gleam of his teeth as he smiled. Oh, wait, Bill said. That's already happened.

He picked some unwise words. Saying, “I’ll enjoy killing you for my lord”, is just not the way to make my acquaintance.

The night swelled with magic not the beneficent kind of love-magic that sweeps couples away, but the kind of magic that rips and tears, the enchantment that creeps out of the woods and pounces.
