“I’ve seen you naked before, Maddie.”Her mouth dropped open. “You have not seen me completely naked, thank you very much.”His eyes glittered. “Actually, once before I have, when you were like five. You ran through the house buck-ass naked when you had chicken pox.”“Oh, dear God, why do you remember these things?” She was going to drown herself, right here in the tub.”

“Despite my best efforts I’ve seen you naked before – doesn’t do much for me so no worries.”

“You just want to see me naked,” Alec peeled off his shirt, thenpopped the buttons on his jeans and slid them low on his hips.“I’ve seen you naked. Or have you forgotten?”Alec winced when Grier probed the wound. “Oh yeah. What’dyou think, by the way?”“The room was cold, so I won’t hold it against you.”

“She eyed him but said nothing. Why did he always have to pull out the truth?“It’s not like I haven’t seen you pee before. Go ahead.”“Eww, you have not!”“Yup, you were six and you had to go and there was no one else to take you.”Oh God...she’d been so humiliated she must have blanked it from her memory.”

“Demon pox, oh demon poxJust how is it acquired?One must go down to the bad part of townUntil one is very tired.Demon pox, oh demon pox, I had it all along—Not the pox, you foolish blocks,I mean this very song—For I was right, and you were wrong!""Will!" Charlotte shouted over the noise, "Have you LOST YOUR MIND? CEASE THAT INFERNAL RACKET! Jem—" Jem, rising to his feet, clapped his hands over Will's mouth. "Do you promise to be quiet?" he hissed into his friend's ear.Will nodded, blue eyes blazing. Tessa was staring at him in amazement; they all were. She had seen Will many things—amused, bitter, condescending, angry, pitying—but never giddy before.Jem let him go. "All right, then."Will slid to the floor, his back against the armchair, and threw up his arms. "A demon pox on all your houses!" he announced, and yawned."Oh, God, weeks of pox jokes," said Jem. "We're in for it now.”

“Once you've seen a pretty girl naked, you feel a certain attachment to her.”
