“She looked like candy, utterly delectable.~Ethan”
“She felt like she was in Candy Land, minus the lollipops on the trees.”
“Hey what's your name""Candi." She's hesitant, like that beaten dog Jade mentioned. "Candi Woodward.""I'm Ayla Monroe."She laughs uneasily. "I know.""Out, Candi Cane," Jane orders.”
“Son of-Who did this to you" Anger rolled through every word Ethan spoke."And what are you going to do? Go bet him up?" Even though she couldn't see him she was in a lot of pain, she gave Ethan a defiant look. "Been there. Done that. If you think I look bad, you should see the other guy.”
“She smiled. "How...cute." She chose the word rather like a candy, which she bit.”
“She is mine. -Ethan”
