“If you’ve got a bag in that SUV, you might as well get it out.”

“He’s not staying here,” Lisa countered.

“I say he is.”

Lisa yanked at the coat from within. “You’re not the only person who lives here, Robin.”

“No, but I’m one-third owner of the house.” She motioned Donovan toward his truck. “Consider whatever part of the house he’s in as my third.”

“Damn it, Robin! I don’t want him here.”

Robin cocked her head to the side as if considering the question. “Because he’s got that big, mean, don’t-mess-with-me look of a rottweiler on steroids that could be a deterrent to any repercussions from your trip into town today, and because”—she shrugged and a smile touched her lips—“he bothers you in a way I’ve never seen you bothered. It’s interesting.”

Like she didn't know that. "That's why I came back down here, to let you know."
"And instead you ended up hearing what you shouldn't have."

"I'm feeling a bit protective right now, so you probably want to be humoring me."

“It was a unique experience. He'd never been jealous of a juice glass before.- Kelon”
― Sarah McCarty, Running Wild

“This isn't good."
"What isn't good?" Kelon asked Donovan, coming into the kitchen. He nodded to Lisa standing in front of the stove. She flinched, blushed and then glared at him. He cocked an eyebrow at Donovan. He shrugged. "She's mad because I won't discipline her."

“The joy in telling a story is in the magic of spinning the tale, not in the number of exaggerations you can create."

"I do."

"That's because you're six-foot-plus and more brawn than--"

"More brawn than what?"

"Than a five-foot-tall woman of undisclosed weight."

"Now there's another difference in how I'd tell the story. I'd use the word insufficient to describe your weight.”

“Jared turned and Raisa caught her breath. She'd spent the whole of her natural and unnatural life longing for someone to want her. To look at her like the heroes of romance novels looked at the women they loved. Like she was the sun to his moon, the heart in his soul. In the moment Jared's eyes met hers, she knew she hadn't dreamed big enough.”
