“Voltage crossed the distance between Sheila and Webster. A current composed of anger and remorse and something else-the last flicker of attraction”
“Webster, as if he's done it every day of his life, as if he did it just the day before, trails his fingers from the small of Sheila's back to the nape of her neck.Sheila turns her head, "Go slowly and be careful," she says.”
“Attraction is composed of desire and danger.”
“Fortunately, she understood the difference between biological attraction and lasting affection.”
“God Hold us to that which drew us first, when the Cross was the attraction, and we wanted nothing else.”
“In the instant their lips first met, there was a flicker of something almost electrical that made him believe the feeling would last forever.”
