“Wow," he said after their lips parted. Her taste still haunted his mouth, and the smell of her perfume lingered in his nostrils. "I guess I'll have to get in fights more often.”
Joe DeRouen, Small Things

“Why didn't you escape?"

“He’d need the woman’s help to set things right; he just didn’t like having to wake the dead.”
Joe DeRouen, Small Things

“She suddenly felt herself gasping for air, as if she’d momentarily forgotten how to breathe. She rocked back in her chair and nearly fell over, then slumped against the green-covered table. The bowl fell from her fingers, shattering at her feet, broken glass scattering everywhere.”
