“Crazy got nothin on us” Neesa”

“Stumbling closer, I held up the manuscript, the pages flapping frantically in the wind. “I take it this is a murder mystery? You killed the ex-fiancée and thanked her in the dedication? Mighty dignified of you, I must say.”“Nah. It’s a horror novel. But yeah, the bimbo dies in the end. Bob Hall says it’s going to be a bestseller, so I figured I owed her some thanks for the inspiration.” He edged a few feet closer, his smile spread from ear to ear. The glimmer in his eyes flickered toward the ocean, breaking our connection. He hung his head, licked his lips, then returned his eyes to mine, restoring the connection with an intense smolder. “Are you gonna get over here, or what?”Letting out a soft chuckle, the tears began to blind me. “Make me.”

“I winked and locked my arm in Carter’s, and we stood there, watching Dean stroll away.”You know the guy’s never gonna give up,” Carter nudged me, letting out a sigh.”We’d have really pretty babies, huh?””Yup. They’d be rad little Brangelinas, running around tearing the place up.””Yeah, you’re right. My rejection is such a disservice to the world…”

“Is there a problem, Ms. Parker? Something you want to say to me?” Reaching for his tie, he began to loosen it, unraveling it with his fingers, angry eyes still locked on mine.”I’m not sure I like being your pet. Or science project, I don’t know which.””You have a smart mouth.””You make smart observances.””You’re going to make this invitation difficult, aren’t you?””If you’re dishonest with me, yes.””You’ll regret it if you don’t accept.””Is that a threat?””That’s a promise.”

“Anger precedes hate, while love vicariously hangs in the balance.”

“Romance is everything to turn it into a cause for given is priceless”

“Jika mawar itu berduri, tusuklah hingga merah darahku, agar aku terbangun pada kenyataan tanpa dirimu.”

“The second he slipped inside of me, all I’d doubted, questioned, or feared evaporated, leaving me with one single, definite truth–I’d fallen in love with him in an all-consuming blaze that would blind me if I wasn’t careful. We fit together like poorly cut puzzle pieces, but when the edges joined and were positioned just right, our scattered images came together to create a solid, deliberate piece of art, completely crystal clear and in focus. I was a goner.”

“What after all, is a halo? It’s only one more thing to keep clean.”

“No I’m not a dream, I’m your worst nightmare”

“Never annoy an inspirational author or you will become the poison in her pen and the villian in every one of her books.”

“You teach people how to treat you by what you accept.”

“Every scene should be able to answer three questions: “Who wants what from whom? What happens if they don’t get it? Why now?”

“Drama is based on the Mistake. I think someone is my friend when he really is my enemy, that I am free to marry a woman when in fact she is my mother, that this person is a chambermaid when it is a young nobleman in disguise, that this well-dressed young man is rich when he is really a penniless adventurer, or that if I do this such and such a result will follow when in fact it results in something very different. All good drama has two movements, first the making of the mistake, then the discovery that it was a mistake.”

“Green in nature is one thing, green in literature another. Nature and letters seem to have a natural antipathy; bring them together and they tear each other to pieces.”
