“Cold one day, sweet the next; irresistibly flirty one moment, resistibly obnoxious the next.”
“I didn't know whether to trust Alaska, and I'd certainly had enough of her unpredictability - cold one day, sweet the next; irresistibly flirty one moment, resistibly obnoxious the next. I preferred the Colonel: At least when he was cranky, he had a reason.”
“Fall in Alabama was menopausal: hot one moment and cold the next.”
“Grief, as I read somewhere once, is a lazy Susan. One day it is heavy and underwater, and the next day it spins and stops at loud and rageful, and the next day at wounded keening, and the next day numbness, silence.”
“Like being alive one moment and dead the next.”
“Each of these moments was a pearl on a string, one prettier and more perfect than the next.”
