Kindle Notes & Highlights
Paper crinkled as Sam pulled a small bag from his pocket. Reaching inside, he produced a donut and bit into it. Caius eyed the pastry as a memory of Rory biting into the sugary food with a taunting smile invaded his thoughts. The corner of his mouth lifted at the image. “Why do you always have food in your pocket? You’re like a walking vending machine.” Sam smiled for the first time in days. “I am a growing boy.”
“Do you hear yourself?” Kit asked him. “You aren’t making a lick of sense.” “I am not licking anyone to get my point across.”

“We don’t have time to play,” he said. “Only time to come. Can you do that for me?” When she nodded, he nipped at her ear. “Good girl.”
