“What now?" Lydia asked. "I assume we have a plan B?"
He shook his head. "We're way past plan B," he told her. "And we've gone past plan C as well. We're up to plan D now."
"And what's plan D?"
He jerked his head down the alley to the corner. "Anyone comes round that corner, we shoot them."
She pursed her lips critically. "Doesn't sound too ingenious," she said.
He shrugged. "I'm not good at ingenious. I'm good at dangerous.”

“En la vida no todo es seguridad. Es ser capaces de recoger los pedazos después de que todo haya pasado y continuar adelante. Podemos elegir el ser unos cobardes que temer dejar a alguien entrar en nuestro interior y hacerlo todo solos o podemos elegir el ser valientes y dejar que alguien esté a nuestro lado y nos ayude. Yo no soy una cobarde. Nunca lo he sido. Y no tengo ninguna intención de irme a otro lugar que no sea el que está a tu lado. Para siempre. Ya sea en la Tierra o en este infierno si es lo que se necesita. Yo siempre estaré contigo.
En ese momento, Seth se dio cuenta de que no necesitaba la golondrina para evadirse del dolor. Todo lo que necesitaba era a ella.
Y además tenía razón. Se necesitaba mucho más valor para dejar el corazón abierto a otra persona que el mantenerlo cerrado. Dejar que alguien se metiera muy dentro de ti donde sólo ellos pudieran herirte.
Sólo Lydia podría destruirle.
Y, sin embargo, sólo le había dado una vida... al menos una que merecía la pena vivir.”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, The Guardian

“When we were young, not so long ago
Fame was my favorite television show,
Lydia brought out the dancer in you and me,
There was Coco, Holly and Shorofsky,
Glued to my set to watch them dance and act
Leroy was my favorite dancer on that set
Cleo really won my heart; she later rose to “Fame”
I will never forget Irene Cara’s song “Remember My Name”
― Charmaine J. Forde

“He had always liked to put a name to what he wanted.
It was not a name with which he was familiar. In fact he would have missed the times they'd spoken it before because it would have sounded as if they were saying l'idéal, a thought that made him smile faintly. Physically, at least, she was his own ideal. And even her dislike of him provided a distraction from his darker thoughts and troubles.”
― Susanna Kearsley, Bellewether

“... but she knew that something had shifted inside her sister, that she was balanced on a dangerous, high-up ledge. She sat very still, as if one wrong move might top Lydia off the edge, and Lydia blew out the flames with one quick puff.”

“When we were young, not so long ago,
‘Fame’ was my favorite television show,
Lydia brought out the dancer in you and me,
It was Coco, Holly and Shorofsky,
Glued to my set to watch them dance and act,
Leroy was my favorite dancer on that set,
Cleo really won my heart; she later rose to “Fame”
I’ll never forget Irene Cara’s song
“FAME...Baby, Remember My Name”
― Charmaine J. Forde
