Quote

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. I can never think of how to describe the value you have to me, because all the words for value suggest that you belong to me, and you don't

How do you deal with it? Kami asked Jared. The laughing at nothing and occasionally stopping dead in your tracks. I have a system where when I stop, I lean casually against something, Jared told her. It makes people think I'm a bad boy. Or possibly that I have a bad back.

You're weird, Nick grumbled, but he turned his face back to critically examine the new hand. You're weird, Jamie returned.

Drop dead, said Nick, and Jamie looked serenely pleased.

I'll drive both of you, Seb offered at once. Mae nodded at him with gratitude. No, Jamie said sternly. I'm never getting into your horrible car. I promised myself that, because--it's horrible, and you're horrible. So take that!
