“There is a song, Noreen," he said tenderly. "It was nominated for an Academy Award. I can't sing, enamorada, but the words say that when a man loves a woman, really loves her, he can see his unborn children in her eyes." - "To my shame, I saw my sons in your eyes the day I found you in the kitchen at your aunt's house," he whispered, watching her face color. "And I was married. What a living hell it was, to know such a sin and be unable to repent it." (Diana Palmer)”

“I think our problem from the beginning has been communication.”
“Communication? There’s no communication between us, you tell me what to do and then I do the exact opposite to prove a point.”
He chuffed and rubbed his nose against mine.
“You admit that?”
“Why deny it? We both know it’s the truth. You like being bossy and I don’t like being bossed around. No news flash there stud. Does your theory have a talking point? A proposed resolution?”

“Why didn’t you let Chase take it off?”
His voice was rough with emotion and I had to swallow the lump of raw emotion before I answered.
“It meant a lot to you that I keep it on, so I did.”
“It meant nothing to me once I walked out that door.”
“Is that so? If it meant so little, then why did you race to my rescue today?”

“Baby is a term of endearment. It’s what you called me when you loved me. Every time you say it now, it rips another piece of my heart out and quite frankly, I don’t have very many pieces left.”
“I still love you Melody.”
My head jerked up and I burned his baby blues with my own.
“So you say, but it didn’t stop you from walking out, did it? Pardon me for saying this, but I thought that you’d learned how to love someone from watching your parents. I can’t imagine either of them walking out on the other for any reason. Those two are rock solid Anton.”
― Jo Willow, Designing Woman

“Baby, I’ve been so worried about you. You’re not answering your phone and nobody’s heard from you in days. What in the hell is going on?”
I kiss his neck and breathed deeply. He smelled of the forest and Anton. I closed my eyes hoping to memorize the scent. He was so warm and inviting, I kissed his jaw, slowly making my way to his perfect lips.
He tilted his head slightly and touched the side of my face. His voice was soft, his words thick and slow.
“What are you doing baby?”
“Taking advantage of you while I can. You’ll be leaving me again soon.”
“Why do you think that?”
“Because it’s always you that leaves.”

He leaned back and stared at me. I thought I should say something more, but elected instead to hold my tongue for a bit. Besides, what else was there to say?”
― Jo Willow, Designing Woman
