“But Maddie walked to the side of the bridge, and then he saw a huge knife buried in the post, waiting.
"Stefan took your knife," he blurted like an idiot.
Maddie looked like she'd never been more insulted in her life. "I never leave the house with just one knife. Seriously. Do I look like a one-knife kind of girl?" She pulled it from the post and Logan could see the fire glistening off a long blade that could have easily sliced through those old ropes.”

“She definitely wasn't going to think about how hot Logan looked because:
(A) It was Logan!
and
(B) She'd heard stories about girls who met cute boys and then lost their heads, and being that they were currently being held by a knife-wielding, ticked-off Russian, Maddie really didn't want to find out how literal that saying might be.”

"And wolves," she said. "Wolves like places like that."
"Oh. There are wolves now. Yay," Logan said.”

“To whom it may concern,
I don't know what brought you to this little shed, but I hope you'll be happy here - for however long you need to stay. I've taken the liberty of restocking the woodpile and bringing some new blankets and a few dishes, some matches and a mirror (because even though you may be the only person for twenty miles in any direction, most people feel better when they know what their hair looks like).
Help yourself to the canned goods - that's what they're here for.
But most of all, be careful and take care of this place. It's special to me.

(and me, too - Logan)”
