Lilith Saintcrow
The only place their voices were left was in my head. It was better than being alone but it was so, so lonely.
Lilith Saintcrow
He hadn't told me everything, but I'd left him for dead. I guess we were just about even...

Lilith Saintcrow

Lilith Saintcrow
It wasn't sarcasm. Graves blew out a cloud of acrid smoke. It was pointing out a fallacy in your logic, babe. Anna's jaw actually dropped. For a moment, I wasn't sure if I should laugh or push him out of the room. Way to go, Graves.

And ordering me around is exactly the wrong way to make me do what you want.

There was Kir, red hair combed back and That Expression on his sharp face. Even his freckles looked serious. I'd given up wondering how a freckle-faced teenager could look so much like a disapproving granny.
Lilith Saintcrow
I looked like a ghost. And I should know. I’ve seen a few.
Lilith Saintcrow
God, was I going to have another day of painful thoughts jumping me every time I relaxed? The obvious solution—to just not relax—was kind of sucking.
Lilith Saintcrow
His eyebrows drew together. He was perilously close to unibrow I guess nobody had held him down and administered a good plucking to the caterpillar climbing across his forehead.
Lilith Saintcrow
Are you listening, little bird?
