Kindle Notes & Highlights
They didn't make chairs to fit his lanky frame; he sat tall in my office chair as comfortably as possible, reminding me of a Great Dane secure in his alpha-status, quietly confident. There was no fight in his eyes: there was no need.
Amazing description.

Former, ha
The harder I tried, the more it was like trying to pick a wet watermelon seed off a Formica table: think you've got it, then it squirts away.
“Your darling imitation of testicular fortitude notwithstanding,
Hahahahaha
On the bright side, being irritated was preferable to being sad and horrified; when in doubt, choose rage, that's my motto.
Wait, did he say hotel or motel? Probably it meant nothing. The
Of course it means something Marnie
Where is it whereisitwhereisit?
Did you leave it in the car?
Oh God, I finally remembered, it's in the car.
Yup
My brain melted like butter left on a hot stovetop.
Your brain is in a constant state of mid melt
He made a wand-motion in the air that he must have seen Mickey Mouse make in the Sorcerer's Apprentice.
That should have been a red flag.
No kidding
“You never actually listen to me.”
He rocketed forward to the edge of his seat. “Just four? Are you sure?”
Marnie this info doesnt seem like something to share with a vampire hunter
Baboons, I observed. One with a big gun and the other with a big mouth, and both with alpha-sized, flaming pink asses.
But I'll find Sherlock, and she better hope Batten finds her before I do. He won't hoof a woman in the taco. I will.”
Hahaha
His hazel eyes fell away from mine. Shame. A throat-full of it nearly choked me from his side of the car as the Blue Sense tore into being like an avalanche down a ski hill. I had to grip the dashboard as I ducked into the passenger seat, bewildered by Chapel's rush of feeling. Was he embarrassed by the idea of me feeding Harry?
Oh Marnie.
I heard a sharp inhalation from the back seat, like Chapel had suddenly pulled a muscle.
Marnie, marnie, marnie
the Blue Sense flared so strongly that, for a second, my vision blurred. The eye flew out of my hand to the desk top with a small wet plip and I let it go gladly, shaking my hands clean. I didn't have time to wonder about it.
Extra eyes Marnie!
At the time, I wasn't sure he was telling me the whole truth, but it sure felt like he'd just fed so it must be true.
Insert eye roll emoji here 🙄
The cheerful bright red flag was up. Delivery!
I thiught flag upnwas to let the carrier know something needed to be picked up?
Chapel said, “I came across one of the earliest cases Sherlock assisted Gold-Drake & Cross with. It was a PCU case, in her home town of Stillwater, Oklahoma.”
Not surprised Danika is from Stillwater, it kind of sucks.
I burn, blister, freckle and go right back to pasty.
Same, but i dont think i look good in pastels, im a jewel tone person
“Somewhere there's a barefoot hooker who'd appreciate her shoes back.”
Ha
I had to be wrong. I was definitely paranoid. Wasn't I?
No.
At the same time, the high expectations every hour of every day wore on me like a constant grinding, something out of sync winding against a gear, especially since I was clearly incapable of living up to his impossible standards.
“Flames and ether, I have made a beautiful woman feel ugly.”
Funny hownnear constant nitpicking will do that to a person.

Patrick Laurier. Patrick Laurier Nazaire.
Searing pain down her right arm, ending in a hot, severing edge.
A missing finger?
“On second thought…heaven forbid you find your cheap, wretched and vulgar self in a motel room with Agent Batten.”
Ought to ask Hood to go with her. He’s a good dude.
“Debasing yourself isn't as endearing as you think it is, and your playing dumb frustrates those who know you're more capable than you let on. You're a brilliant young lady with a doctorate to prove it, and friends in high places who respect your opinion and seek out your advice.” She waggled a prune-y finger up at me. “Don't dumb yourself down. You're not fooling anyone.”
Good advice for any young woman.
“That you still want me. Your possessiveness was refreshing. Sometimes I feel that you view me with the barest of patience. That I am a nuisance. An inconvenient, sucking parasite. That you regret ever…”
Maybe if you were honest witb her and as you noticed earlier not maiking her feel ugly, you'd know how much she wants you.
“Damn straight. And if I ever catch you doing that to Gary again—”
I thought she let Harry wiggle out of this too easily. He absolutely lied to her and then let her twist in the wind for days before she had a suspicion about what was happening. And then to continue to do it in their home and act like it wasn’t a big deal is just not ok.
“Of course.” He gave me a look that said I should know better. “I'd do whatever you needed me to do, Marnie. You only have to ask.”
The Frenchman has already taken too much.”
Oh, you don’t like that Marnie fed another when she was in a desperate situation but it was ok for you to feed from Chapel? Tsk
