“Mac: "It's not the sidhe-seers."
He stopped and went very still.
JZB: "Who is it?"
Mac: "The MacKeltars."
He was silent a long moment. Then he began to laugh, softly.
JZB: "Well played, Ms. Lane."
Mac: "I had a good teacher."
JZB: "The best. Hop on one foot, Ms. Lane."

Mac and Barrons”

“Go to dinner with me?” His voice whispers against my ear. I start to shake my head when his fingertip lightly traces the birdcage tattoo on my arm. My eyes shut at the sensation. His touch. “I dream about you almost every night.” Join the club, buddy, I want to tell him. I dream about me every night, too… well, until I met him. Now I dream too damn much about him. “Just one date and I will leave you alone if you never want to see me again. Deal?” I open my eyes to gaze into his. There are too many things happening at once. Everything within me says to tell him no. Nothing good can come of this. I know what I have to tell him. “Dinner, not a date,” I say, looking him square in the eyes. Holy hell! What did you just do, Keller? Really? Seriously? He grins, not hiding his happiness at my words. I step away, allowing him time to button his shirt up. “Dinner then dessert, and, Keller, it will definitely be a date,” he says,”
