"Besides, you know I only have eyes for you.""Sure you do," Ms. Skoglund said. "I mean, why bother with one of those skinny little things your age when you can go for someone who's trying to lose another thirty pounds before her twenty-year class reunion next summer? That makes sense.”

“Relax, Salazar. I'm just messing around. Besides, I have my eye on somebody right now.""Who?" Danielle and Colt said at the same time."That's on a need-to-know basis," Oz said, "and right now neither one of you needs to know.”

Forgive me if I don't do cartwheels through the restaurant while I try to decide if you've lost your mind.”

But please-''Speak on, dear heart.''Shall I ever be able to read that story again: the one I couldn't remember? Will you tell it to me, Aslan? Oh do, do, do.''Indeed, yes, I will tell it to you for years and years.”
