I can't. At least not for a while. I need time to get past this and I can't guarantee that I won't hurt him again. God knows, Nick has a true gift for saying the wrong thing in any given situation. (Acheron) You know he loves you, right? (Amanda) Yeah, but emotions don't have brains. (Acheron)

Sherrilyn KenyonIโm going to make the wildly unfounded assumption that Sataraโs dead by your hand and not Toryโs. Now, stay with me on this, Cajun. My father slit my throat and murdered my wife because he thought Iโd betrayed him by getting married. Before that, he loved me more than his life and I was his last surviving child. His second in command. Now what do you think heโs going to do to you once he sees her body? I can assure you, it wonโt be a fun-filled trip to Chuck E. Cheese. (Urian)
Sherrilyn KenyonWell, I guess Iโm just not as special as you are. (Urian) No one knows their true mettle until itโs been tested. This is yours. Whether you pass or fail is entirely up to you. I canโt tell you what to do, but I know where Iโll be tonight. (Acheron)

Every mortal creature is born with an expiration date. Some immortals, too. Set by the big clockmaker. But excessive stupidity and moronic tendencies can shorten it. Pissing me off is one really good way to cut yours down to three seconds from now.โ โ Death
