More quotes by Lucy Christopher
I could hear you, talking to the daffodils and tulips, whispering to the fairies that lived inside their petals. Each separate flower had a different family inside it.
Lucy Christopher
I remember the lights turning into blurs of blazing fire. I remember the air-conditioning chilling my arms. The smell of coffee smudging into the smell of eucalyptus.

How would she find her herd? How would she find you?

I didn’t want the person standing there, beside the bed, to have the same face I’d found so attractive at the airport. But you were there all right: the blue eyes, blondish hair, and tiny scar. Only you didn’t look beautiful this time. Just evil.
Lucy Christopher
Everyone wanted answers I wasn't ready to give.

Doesn't that hurt? I said. Yep. How do you keep them in there? I'm stubborn. You grinned. Stubborn as a waddywood. And anyway, pain means it's healing. Not always.

There is no need to put your heart in a bottle, then you will die. - Ty from Stolen

I remember that feeling of skin. It's strange to remember touch more than thought. But my fingers still tingle with it.
Lucy Christopher
I was surprised at her gentleness, her willingness to give in.
Lucy Christopher
You nodded towards the cup. Want more? I shook my head. What about the car? Didn't find it. You were heading back towards me when I found you. Towards . . . ? You nodded. So I reckoned the car had probably got stuck or died somehow, and you were just coming home. Home? Yeah. Your mouth twitched. Back to me.
Lucy Christopher
I want you to see that the person I glimpsed running beside the camel, running to save my life, is the person you can choose to be.
Lucy Christopher
Far, far away something made a single ghostly howl, like a banshee in the dark.
Lucy Christopher
Your beautiful mouth was moving like a caterpillar. I reached out and tried to catch it.
Lucy Christopher
You won't be able to hurt me, or touch me.
Lucy Christopher
When the darkness gets easier, you know you're sinking deeper, becoming dead yourself.
Lucy Christopher
You smiled then, and your whole face changed with it. It kind of lit up, like there were sunbeams coming from inside you.
Lucy Christopher
The sand stretched out gray and ghostlike and illuminated, a column of light leading forward. It was like something a dead person would see, a tunnel leading toward heaven.
