When I was a little girl, I used to try and bring sunshine to my mother. I felt so bad that she had never really seen or felt it. So I would try and catch it in jars. When that failed, I captured jars and jars of lightening bugs and told her that if we could catch enough of them, then it would look like the sun. Sheโd laugh, hug me, and then set them free and tell me that nothing should have to live its life in a cage. (Cassandra)
Sherrilyn KenyonDon't you have class today? (Kyrian) Boy, I'm a backwoods Cajun, I ain't never got no class, cher. (Nick) (He cleared his throat and dropped the thick Cajun accent.) And no, today's registration. I've got to figure out what I'm taking next semester. (Nick) I have a few things I need you to do today. (Kyrian) And that is different from any other day how? (Nick) Sarcasm, thy name is Nick Gautier. (Kyrian)
Sherrilyn KenyonKeep your shirt on," she said with a laugh at her bad joke. "Your clothes are at the laundry. They'll deliver them as soon as they're ready." "And in the meantime?" "Looks like you're naked." His jaw worked as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing. "I beg your pardon?" "Beg all you want, you're still going to be naked." Tabitha paused at the wicked image in her mind. "Come to think of it, a gorgeous, begging, naked manโฆ that's the stuff of fantasies. Begging won't get you your clothes, but it could get you something else." She wiggled her eyebrows at him.
Sherrilyn KenyonGood question. (Acheron) I have a better one. How are we going to clean up this mess? (Kyrian) Nah, mineโs even better. How do you hide a chainsaw in your locker at school? Iโm thinking theyโre not going to stop, and while the school has a strict no-weapons policy, I donโt think the plastic sporks in the cafeteria are going to do much to combat them. I need protection, man. Serious protection. (Nick)
Sherrilyn KenyonItโs broke again, akri. The man downstairs done said that the Simi canโt charge nothing else until Iโm not over my limit no more. I donโt know what that means, but I donโt like it. Fix it, akri, or else I might eat him. The Simi gots needs and I needs my plastic to work. (Simi)
