Why weren't they back?"Darling, you're shaking.Come on now, sit and drink your tea.""I can't.What's wrong with men? They'd have beaten that idiot to a pulp.I'm not that surprised at Brian,I suppose, but I expected more restraint from Dad."Genuinely surprised, Adelia glanced over. "Why?"As worry ate through her she raked her hands through her hair. "He's contained. Now you,I could see you taking a few swings..." SHe winced. "No offense," she said, then saw that her mother was grinning."None taken.My temper might be a bit, we'll say, more colorful than your father's. His tends to be cold and deliberate when it's called for.And it was.The man hurt and frightened his little girl.""His little girl was about to attempt to gut the man with a hoof pick."

19. "You said you survived, Anna, but you didn't. You triumphed. Everything about you is a testament to courage and strength."When she stared at him, obviously stunned, he smiled a little. "You didn't get either from a social worker or a counselor. They just helped you figure out how to use it. I figure you got it from your mother. She must have been a hell of a woman.""She was," Anna murmured, near tears again."So are you." ~ Nora Roberts
20. "One morning early, I couldn't sleep, so I walked down to the beach. And I saw you. For a minute- I didn't realize it was you. You were wearing this long scarf thing tied around your waist, lots of wild colors, and it blew around your legs. You had on a red bathing suit under it.""You..." She literally had to catch her breath. "You remember what I was wearing?" "Yes I do. And I remember your hair was longer than it is now, halfway down your back. All those mad curls flying. Bare feet. All that golden skin, wild colors, mad curls. My heart just stopped. I thought: That's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. And I wanted that woman, in a way I'd never wanted one before." He stopped, turned a little as she simply stared at him. "Then I saw it was you. You walked off, down the beach, the surf foaming up over your bare feet, your ankles, your calves. And I wanted you. I thought I'd lost my my mind." ~ Nora Roberts
21. "I cut it. So?""So… just asking." He waited while she got out a vase. The new do made her look like a brainypixie, Ty thought. Boys, he realized with a little tug of regret, were going to come sniffing at the door."You want to hang with me today? I've got to check for mildew, then see how the work's going over atthe old distillery. Start on the weeding.""Yeah, that'd be good.""Tell your dad" ~ Nora Roberts

"You're such a dork.""Excuse me?""She was hitting on you and you're, like, oblivious.""She wasn't hitting on me and you're not supposed to talk that way.""Was too." Maddy slid onto a stool at the bar. "Women know these things.""Maybe, but you don't qualify as a woman.""I've had my period."He'd started to drink, had to set the glass back down as he winced. "Please.""It's a biological function. And when a female is physically able to conceive, she is, physically, awoman.""Fine. Great." It wasn't a debate he wanted to enter into. "Shut up." He let the wine, such as itwas, lie on his tongue. It was unsophisticated to say the least, highly acidic and oversweet thanks tothe sugar she must have adde" ~ Nora Roberts

24. "That's the way some people do business.""I don't."It was the tone that made Ty stop. He supposed somehow over the past months they'd becomefriends. Almost family. Near enough that he understood the guilt, and the frustration."Nobody's saying that, David. Nobody thinks that." ~ Nora Roberts
25. "You going to finish beating yourself up soon? Because I've got a lot of work to catch up on,seeing as I had to go to Italy to help wipe your blood off the street. You getting yourself shot reallyput a crimp in my schedule."David turned back toward Tyler. "Did you use that same tone when you suggested that fuckerDeMorney get an X ray?""Probably. It's the one I use when somebody's being annoyingly stupid."The raw edges in David's stomach smoothed away, and the first glint of humor sparked into hiseyes. "I'd take a swing at you over that, but you're bigger than me.""Younger, too.""Bastard. Now that I think of it, I could take you down, but I'll give you a break because Sophia'sheading this way. I'd hate for her to have to watch her future stepfather kick your ass.""In your dreams.""I'm going to go sulk in the caves." He started off, pausing as he passed Tyler. "Thanks" ~ Nora Roberts
26. "When somebody walks out, it leaves a hole in you. Some people fill it up, the good and the bad, and get on that way. Some people leave it open, maybe long enough to heal, maybe too long, picking at it now and then so it doesn't heal all the way." ~ Nora Roberts
27. "He'd find out, he thought and nodded as he rose. " Are you worried about you? " It surprised her, the gentleness in his voice, the light brush of his knuckles over her jaw. She could lean against him, she realized with a jolt. She could lay her head on that shoulder, close her eyes, and for a moment at least, everything would be all right. She nearly stepped forward before she decided it would be foolish. " You're not going to be nice to me, are you? " " Maybe. " It might have been the confusion in her eyes, or that sultry scent that wafted from her skin, but he needed to touch. He laid his hands on her shoulders, rubbed while his eyes stayed on hers. " Do you need help?" ~ Nora Roberts

32. "I'd better light the charcoal," Gennie said after a moment."I didn't ask before," Grant began as they started down the pier. "But do you know how to cook on one of those things?""My dear Mr. Campbell," Gennie said in a fluid drawl, "you appear to have several misconceptions about southern women.I can cook on a hot rock.""And wash shirts in a fast stream.""Every bit as well as you could," Gennie tossed back. "You might have some advantage on me in mechanical areas, but I'd say we're about even otherwise.""A strike for the women's movement."Gennie narrowed her eyes. "Are you about to say something snide and unintelligent?" ~ Nora Roberts

35. "I'm wanting the hell out of you. Day and night."Her voice was throaty now, dark with need. "I guess that makes it handy, since I want the hell out of you too.""It doesn't scare you?""Nothing about you and me scares me.""And what if I said I want you to let me do anything I want to you? Everything?"Her heart fluttered to her throat, but her eyes stayed steady. "I'd say who's stopping you?" ~ Nora Roberts
36. "No,her mother was made for the life. Patient,with a rod of steel beneath the fragile skin. Shelby wouldn't choose it, nor would she let it choose her. She'd love no one who could leave her again so horribly.Letting the conversation flow around her, Shelby tilted back her glass. Her eyes met Alan's. It was there-that quietly brooding patience that promised to last a lifetime.She could almost feel him calmly peeling off layer after layer of whatever bits and pieces made up her personality to get to the tiny core she kept private.You bastard.She nearly said it out loud. Certainly it reflected in her eys for he smiled at her in simple acknowledgement.The siege was definitely under way. She only hoped she had enough provisions to outlast him." ~ Nora Roberts
37. "You're seriously talking about a ghost. This building - or parts of it - has been here for two and a half centuries. It would strike me odder if there wasn't a ghost. Not everything, everyone, leaves." ~ Nora Roberts
38. "There's no reward without work, no victory without effort, no battle won without risk." ~ Nora Roberts

40. "It put him out of humor for the rest of the day.It stuck in his craw and festered thered.A nasty little canker sore on the ego.Snob? Where did the woman get off calling him a snob? And after he'd made the effort to be friendly, even complimenting her on her snooty little riding academy.He did the evening check himself, as was his habit, and spent considerable time going over the prime filly who was to head down to Hialeah to race there. Ttavis wanted Brian to go along for this one, and he was more than happy to oblige.It would do him a world of good to put a thousand miles or so between himself and Keeley."Shouldn't be looking in that direction, even for a blink," he muttered, then nuzzled the filly." ~ Nora Roberts
41. "Durerea o lovea în valuri, tari si învolburate, biciuind-o si sfâsiindu-i inima. În alte zile, valurile erau lente si persistente, amenintând sa-i înece sufletul." ~ Nora Roberts
42. "It's my job to see it.""It's your gift," she corrected. "Your family must be proud of you." She spoke casually, began to eat again, then stared at him, baffled, when he laughed. "Why is that funny?""Pride wouldn't exactly be part of their general outlook to my way of thinking.""Why?""People can't find pride in what they don't understand.Not all families, Keeley, are as cozy as yours." ~ Nora Roberts
43. "Alan had still stopped her in her tracks with one of those slow, devastating kisses at her side door.He hadn't insisted on coming in.Shelby might have been grateful for that if she hadn't suspected it was just part of his planned siege.Confuse the enemy, assail her with doubts, leave her with her nerve ends tingling.Very clever strategy." ~ Nora Roberts

45. "Maybe I'm old-fashioned," she repeated, "in this one area. I don't think we should live together. Ithink we should get married.""That's just another…" The words sank in, momentarily dulled his brain. "Whoa.""Yes, and with that scintillating response" ~ Nora Roberts
46. "Tereza." He took her shoulders, turned her to face him, and she felt a shiver of alarm. "This is mylast harvest.""Eli—""I'm not going to die." To reassure, he ran his hands down her arms. "I want to retire. I've beenthinking of it, seriously thinking of it since you and I traveled to Italy. We've let ourselves become toorooted here and there" ~ Nora Roberts
47. "Buying baubles, are we?" She flipped the box open, blinked. "Oh my.""I guess I should tell you, I bought it for your mother. Gonna ask her to marry me." He pulledhimself up a bit on the pillow and slid straight down again. "Got a problem with that?""I might, seeing as you proposed to me five minutes ago, you fickle bastard." A little teary-eyed,she sat on the side of the bed. "It's beautiful, David. She'll love it. She loves you.""She's everything I've ever wanted. Beautiful, beautiful Pilar. Inside and out. Second chances allaround. I'll be careful with her." ~ Nora Roberts
48. "I know you will. I know it. The year's not half over," she said quietly. "Everything's moving sofast. But some things," she added, "some things are moving in the right direction." She leaned over,kissed his cheek. "Close your eyes for a while. Papa." ~ Nora Roberts
49. "Because," he continued, skimming his fingers over her cheek, "I'm as crazy about you as you areabout me. That shut you up, didn't it? It's time, Sophia, we started dealing with it instead of dancingaround it." ~ Nora Roberts
50. "Ah… yes." Slightly dazed, she let Tyler draw her out the door, toward the elevator. Inside, shelet out the breath she hadn't been aware of holding. "I'd like to point something out.""Go ahead." He punched lobby level, leaned back."I didn't interrupt, or ask any questions. I wasn't compelled to flex my muscles," she continued asTyler's mouth twitched. "Or prove to you I could handle things. I just want to mention all that.""Got it. You've got your areas of expertise and I've got mine." He slipped an arm around hershoulders. "Now let's go home." ~ Nora Roberts

Marina, feeling entitled, never really asked herself if she was good enough. Whereas he, Julius, asked himself repeatedly, answered always in the affirmative, and marveled at the wider world's apparent inability to see the light. He would have to show them."
