“Nothing lives forever. Anything can be killed if you try hard enough.'
Overly proud of myself, I stabbed another piece of meat. 'I suppose.'
'But no matter how hard you try with that knife you just swiped,' he said, and my eyes widened, 'you will not be able t kill Cas with it.'
My head swung in his direction. 'I'm not planning to kill him with it.'
'I would hope not.' He looked at me from the corner of his eye. 'It would probably only further endear you to him.'
I gave a small shake of my head. 'I'm going to ignore that incredibly disturbing possibility.'
'Ignoring something doesn't make it less true, Penellaphe.”

“[on Jeffrey Epstein]: I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
