Embarrassing Moment Quotes

“Would've been useful when I was about eight," I said. "I used to have wicked nightmares." I did, too: stupid dreams about being chased by Elmo. A psycho Elmo with eyes like that Chucky doll. I'd wake up screaming and Vicky would come running in and ask what the nightmare was about. I never told her. I was too embarrassed.”
― Robin Stevenson, The World Without Us

“If you knew I was there, then why did you…” Her words died on a flush. Bloody Talent.

“Pleasure myself?” he offered helpfully.
...
“I admit,” she said, “it baffles me that you didn’t fly into a rage the moment you realized I was there. You were unclothed, for pity’s sake.” Fierce heat filled her cheeks. She needed to stop talking altogether.

Talent’s mouth trembled at the corner, his eyes alight with utter glee. “Chase, the idea of a woman watching is in no way a deterrent for a man. It adds a level of excitement.”

She would die now. Surely fate could be kind to her for once.”

“Age has finally crept up on a man when he develops an interest in lame jokes, comfortable cardigans and uncoordinated dancing.”

“Nice sportsmanship, though. Good to see how quickly you've abandoned all efforts to make me like you."
The last part slips out before I consider our small audience, and I hear a soft, delighted gasp from Teagan. Benny straightens up, his face brightening and one eyebrow raised in teasing challenge.
"Is that what you think? Oh, sweet, lovely, stealthily talented Reese. I'm only demonstrating how well I can separate work from the personal. That's why you didn't want to go out with me, isn't it?" He steps closer to me and I back up, flattening myself against the front of Teagan's desk and regretting that she's witnessing any of this. "I haven't abandoned any efforts when it comes to you. I'm just playing the long game."
He backs away, eyes twinkling with mischief. "See you in the kitchen, yeah?"
Before Teagan can suppress her laughter enough to pester me about any of what just happened, I start toward marketing, calling over my shoulder, "Nothing to see here! Back to work!”
