    “The way you're singing in your sleep
    The way you look before you leap
    The strange illusions that you keep
    You don't know
    But I'm noticing

    The way your touch turns into arcs
    The way you slide into the dark
    The beating of my open heart
    You don't know
    But I'm noticing”

    “Seven years, Dawn. Working with the Slayer. Seeing my friends get more and more powerful... a witch. A demon. Hell, I could fit Oz in my shaving kit, but come a full moon, he had a wolfy mojo not to be messed with. Powerful, all of them. And I'm the guy who fixes the windows.

    They'll never know how tough it is, Dawnie, to be the one who isn't Chosen, to live so near the spotlight and never step in it. But I know. I see more than anybody realizes because nobody's watching me.

    I saw you last night, and I see you working here today. You're not special; you're extraordinary.”

    “Because the song is us and the song is her and this time I’m going to use her name. Norah, Norah, Norah - no rhymes really. Just truth.

    I shouldn’t want the song to end. I always think of each night as a song. Or each moment as a song. But now I’m seeing we don’t live in a single song. We move from song to song, from lyric to lyric, from chord to chord. There is no ending here. It’s an infinite playlist.”

    “I suppose he could have changed," Neal said dryly. "I myself have noticed my growing resemblance to a daffodil." The other pages snorted.

    Kel eyed her friend. "You do look yellow around the edges," she told him, her face quite serious. "I hadn’t wanted to bring it up."

    "We daffodils like to have things brought up," Neal said, slinging an arm around her shoulders. "It reminds us of spring.”
