“I know I’m not supposed to say this,” he said. “But I think I love you more than ever.”

I took his hand and tried not to think about how happy his words made me.”

“Dad,” I said quietly, “I’ve always made it a rule in my life not to pick fights with children, cute animals, or ignorant old men. I will, however, make an exception for you if you ever touch or insult my wife again.”

“Rose is in red,
But never in blue,
Sharp as a thorn,
Fights like one too.”

“I have it on good authority that Victor's going to have car trouble. Also that Robert really likes Cheerios, so if you want some, you're out of luck. He doesn't seem like the sharing type.”

“So much grief, so much anger. So unlike the usual Adrian.”

“My mother wasnʹt sleeping with anybody. She doesnʹt even sleep with my father.”

“It was worth it. You looked… happy.”

“In the real world, you can make your own miracles.”

“There's a reason they say,"Pride goeth before a fall.”

“He almosted smiled. "There you go again. Why? Why do yo keep helping me?"
There were a million answers on my lips, everything from It's the right thing to do to I don't know. Instead, I said, "Because I want to.”

“I took a deep breath and said: “I fell in love with a vampire.”

And like that, I was blinded by light.”

“But I’m just going to be out there having a tea party with her cats or whatever it is she has in mind."

Adrian”

“Would he have said he loved me? I would ask myself that for the rest of my life.”

“Thatʹs a dangerous look,ʺ said Dimitri, giving me a brief glance before returning his eyes to the road.
ʺWhat look?ʺ I asked innocently.
ʺThe one that says you just got some idea.”

“I changed my mind," he said. "I'll take you up on helping me get a job."
I almost swerved into oncoming traffic.”

“What have I done?" I whispered.
Jill put her arm around me, but it was Dimitri who spoke.
"What you had to.”

“Dmitri was in my arms.”

“This isn't a Christmas special! This is my life. In the real world, miracles and goodness just don't happen.”

“I nodded. "Yup. What I did was tantamount to treason in their eyes."
"I don't know what 'tantamount' means, but it sounds pretty serious.”

“Did you just use juxtaposition in a sentence?"
"Yes, Sage" he said patiently. "We use it all the time with art,… That, and I know how to use a dictionary”

“In fact I was fairly certain there was no one in the entire world quite like Adrian Ivashkov.”

“I'd have to kill Dimitri for real this time and lose any chance I might have to bring back my prince. Damn. It's a good thing I work well under pressure.”

“I reached into my pocket and triumphantly flashed the CR-V keys Iʹd swiped when weʹd come back inside. ʺThe driver,ʺ I said.

I DIDNʹT GET TO DRIVE.”

“I certainly hadn't expected to walk away from today's trip with joint custody of a miniature dragon.”

“I think we got in more trouble with Aunt Tasha,ʺ said Christian. ʺShe was kind of pissed off that we didnʹt tell her what was going on. I think she probably wanted to blow up the statues herself.”

“I told you before, we’re the center,” she said. “And the center will hold.”

“But what are loyalty and caring really worth?"
"To me? Everything.”

“Rose never would have done anything like that,' he countered. He paused to reconsider, and I could've sworn there was a hint of a smile there. 'Well at least not in such a public setting.'- Dimitri Belikov”

“Adrian frowned.
'Is that a noose?'
'It's a tie!' I cried, trying not to feel offended. He laughed, clearly delighted at this.
'My mistake.”
