Edward Lazellari
“So is that a yes,' the sheriff asked.
Daniel held his breath. The lawsuit, the cost of bail, these were enough to push Clyde into the zone. The world stopped on Rita's next breath. A single assertion could end this mess--protective custody; the sheriff would shield Daniel from Clyde's wrath.
'No,' Rita said in a steady strong voice. 'My husband does not abuse us.'
The lie kicked Daniel as hard as Clyde's boot.”
Edward Lazellari, Awakenings

“As they walked down the stairs to the wide sidewalk, Quincy said, “I never thought you for a churchgoer, Arch.”
“You forced me to it, St. Claire. Some demons drive a man to the bottle, some demons drive a man to the church.”
Beth Brower, The Q
