Nora Roberts
The worst, the very worst requirement of friendship, in Eve Dallas's opinion, was sitting through an entire evening of childbirth classes. What went on there--the sights, the sounds, the assault on all the senses--turned the blood cold.
Nora Roberts
I'd suggest putting your head between your knees, but I think that's physically impossible for you at the moment.
Nora Roberts
Some things in life are out of your control. You can make it a party or a tragedy.
Nora Roberts
I hope that's true, because I figured out why I'd never finished it, what I was waiting for. I was waiting for you, Clare. For them. For us. I want to finish it up for you, for them, for us.
Nora Roberts
