“I could get you to smile like that, and without sales tax." I whirled around to find the real Patch standing in the fitting room behind me. He was wearing jeans and a snug white tee.

I've seen the way he looks at you. I knew this was coming. I saw it from a mile away." I didn't want to think about it. "What was it like?" Vee pressed. "A peach kiss? A plum kiss? Or an al-fal-fa kiss?" "What?" "Was it a peck, did mouths part, or was there tongue? Never mind. You don't have to answer that. Patch isn't the kind of guy to deal with preliminaries. There was tongue involved. Guaranteed.”
-- Becca Fitzpatrick -
“You want me to come clean, I will. I'll tell you everything. Who I am and what I've done. Every last detail. I'll dig it all up, but you have to ask. You have to want it. You can see who I was, or you can see who I am now. I'm not good," he said, piercing me with eyes that absorbed all light but reflected none, "but I was worse.”

-
“Are we going to have to teach you to fight, Angel?”
-- Becca Fitzpatrick -
“You didn’t tell me she was so soft on the eyes,†he said to Patch, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. He spoke with a heavy Irish accent. “I didn’t tell her how hard you are on them either,†Patch returned, his mouth at the relaxed stage just before a grin.”
-- Becca Fitzpatrick -
“He cracked a slight smile, but it didn’t look amused. “I’m not letting you out of my sight. You’re looking a little deranged, Angel. We’ll go together.”
-- Becca Fitzpatrick -
“I’m not going anywhere near a motel with you.”

“What is it with girls?†Elliot said, splitting a smile between us. “I swear, I’ve never known a girl who could go to the bathroom alone.†He leaned forward and grinned conspiratorially. “Let me in on the secret. Seriously. I’ll pay you five bucks each.†He reached for his back pocket. “Ten, if I can come along and see what the big deal is.”
-- Becca Fitzpatrick -
“There was no sign of Jules. “Bad news,†said Elliot. “The man is sick. You’re going to have to settle for me.†“Sick?†Vee demanded. “How sick? What kind of excuse is sick?†“Sick as in it’s coming out both ends.†Vee scrunched her nose. “Too much information.”
-- Becca Fitzpatrick -
-
“Wow. Nice bike,†I said. Which was a lie. It looked like a glossy black death trap.”
-- Becca Fitzpatrick -
“I took three steps back; he nudged the door closed with his foot. “You like Mexican?†he asked. “I—†I’d like to know what you’re doing inside my house! “Tacos?†“Tacos?†I echoed. This seemed to amuse him. “Tomatoes, lettuce, cheese.†“I know what a taco is!”
-- Becca Fitzpatrick -
“Patch smiled. “You come by your red hair naturally?†I stared at him. “I don’t have red hair.†“I hate to break it to you, but it’s red. I could light it on fire and it wouldn’t turn any redder.”
-- Becca Fitzpatrick -
“It’s brown.†So maybe I had the teeniest, tiniest, most infinitesimal amount of auburn in my hair. I was still a brunette. “It’s the lighting,†I said. “Yeah, maybe it’s the lightbulbs.†His smile brought up both sides of his mouth, and a dimple surfaced.”
-- Becca Fitzpatrick -
-
“First,†he said, coming behind me and placing his hands on the counter, just outside of mine, “choose your tomato.†He dipped his head so his mouth was at my ear. His breath was warm, tickling my skin. “Good. Now pick up the knife.†“Does the chef always stand this close?†I asked, not sure if I liked or feared the flutter his closeness caused inside me. “When he’s revealing culinary secrets, yes.”
-- Becca Fitzpatrick -
“Cooking isn’t taught,†Patch said. “It’s inherent. Either you’ve got it or you don’t. Like chemistry. You think you’re ready for chemistry?†I pressed the knife down through the tomato; it split in two, each half rocking gently on the cutting board. “You tell me. Am I ready for chemistry?†Patch made a deep sound I couldn’t decipher and grinned.”
-- Becca Fitzpatrick -
“My legs are falling asleep,†I blurted. It wasn’t a total lie. I was experiencing tingling sensations all through my body, legs included. “I could solve that.†Patch’s hands closed on my hips.”
-- Becca Fitzpatrick -
“I’d like to. Problem is, I’m not stupid.†“You act stupid.†“Right. Thanks for that. For your information, there’s a difference between acting stupid and being stupid.†“It’s a fine line, but someone has to draw it.”
-- Becca Fitzpatrick -
-
“This isn't over," I said. "After everything we've been through, you don't get the right to brush me off. I'm not letting you off that easily." I wasn't sure if it was a threat, my last stab at defiance, or irrational words spoken straight from my splintered heart. "I want to protect you," Patch said quietly. He stood so close. All strength and heat and silent power. I couldn't escape him, now or ever. He'd always be there, consuming my every thought, my heart locked in his hands. I was drawn to him by forces I couldn't control, let alone escape. "But you didn't.”
-- Becca Fitzpatrick -
“Did they look like anyone we know? For example… a cross between Pippi Longstocking and the Wicked Witch of the West would obviously give us Marcie Millar”
-- Becca Fitzpatrick -
“Walk out,†he repeated. “We need to talk.†“About how you need to sacrifice me to get a human body?†I asked, my tone light, my insides feeling leaden. “That might be cute if you thought it was true.”
-- Becca Fitzpatrick -
“Shh!†the guy beside me hissed again. “Blame him,†I told the guy, pointing at Patch. The guy craned his neck back. “Listen,†he said, facing me again. “If you don’t quiet down, I’ll get security.†“Fine, go get security. Tell them to take him away,†I said, again signaling Patch. “Tell them he wants to kill me.†“I want to kill you,†hissed the guy’s girlfriend,”
