“Aw, he’s shy. How loveable, huggable, stuff-in-a-bag-and-take-home-able.”

"What are they?""Poisonous snakes. Open it."Zachary untied the string. "They seem like very quiet snakes.""They're stealthy. Or maybe dead.”

“One of those times," he said, "I think I'd take a nap.”

“I'm more of a dog person. But I admire cats and their ability to take so much while giving so little.”

“I suppressed another shiver - I did not want Zachary taking off any more clothes on my account.”

“Jesus loves you.”“Then how come he never calls?”

“What do you want as your password?""How about iloveaura”
