I wish, Jared began, and stopped, breathing in. Do you remember how you used to believe I wasn't real? Sometimes I wish that was true. If I was just a thought in the back of your mind, then I'd be with you, and I'd be better.

She clenched her fist in his T-shirt, put her other arm around those too-broad, too-real shoulders. When he tried to pull away, she held on tight.

You're weird, Nick grumbled, but he turned his face back to critically examine the new hand. You're weird, Jamie returned. As soon as this whole magical war is over, I'm going to make us some friendship bracelets, and we will wear them everywhere because we are best friends. Drop dead, said Nick, and Jamie looked serenely pleased.

Oh no, Nick Jaime said in tones of supremely unconvincing shock, how could you? When my back was turned for one momement. And my food was so delicious.

Nick is driving us, Jamie informed him. Nick has a car. Nick has TWO cars. Ha!

I want to burn the world because Alan is gone, he said. I want to destroy everything I see. But you mean something to me. I will not destroy the world, because it has you in it.

Alan: Conning people out of their savings. Forgery. Blackmail. Selling real estate on Mars. We could have it all. You with me, Bambi? Sin: Clive, I was with you from 'I'm a social worker.

Also, you may not have noticed, but this is a cupboard. I admit that our private office is of modest dimensions, Kami told him, But that's the way we like it. Just because we're editors doesn't mean we need special privileges. We're not snobs.

Oh God, Mae, said Jamie in a hollow voice, descending the stairs. I will never drink again. I'm only seeing in black and white. My arms feel all floppy, like flightless wings. I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and I looked like a very sad penguin.

I don't think you're weak, Jared said. I want to guard you because you are important to me. Because you are - God, this is going to sound so stupid, I can never think of a way to say it - you are precious.
