Standing, I turned to face my father. “It’s the same as the scent on Moore. It’s definitely a foreign cat, but it’s...more, somehow.” Ethan snickered at my unintentional pun, but I ignored him.

Forever used to feel like a curse. Now it feels like a promise.

The worst memories stick with us, while the nice ones always seem to slip through our fingers.

When you push someone too far, they will push back and they push hard.

Should I assume the lure is a certain attractive young dead man?

Hey. Tod squeezed my hand to draw me out of my thoughts. I think death looks good on you.
Rachel Vincent
Image
I was fine with that. The very idea of Death knowing my name made my skin crawl. Even if this particular Death was only one of many, and almost too pretty to look at.

It's suspiciously quiet in here, and there's a Tod shaped dent in the bean bag. For the sake of both my sanity and my temper, I'm going to pretend I can't tell that you're in his lap, so could you pretend that this is still my house and you are still my daughter, and I'm within my parental rights to kick your boyfriend out after 11:00 p.m.?

But all I said, as I dug a five from my pocket to pay for my soda, was, You have a friend? Tod scowled.
