Didn't she tell you about our little liaisons? Why? The first time we met she almost gave herself to me on the spot."

She's not your type at all, my saintly brother. She has a spirit and a fire in her that you wouldn't know what to do with."
"And you would, I suppose."
Damon uncrossed his arms and slowly smiled again. "Oh, yes.”
― L.J. Smith, The Awakening / The Struggle

And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,

Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.”
― William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
