    “Yes. I have been looking forward to it for quite some time.”
    Daddy’s lemonade is almost gone, he sips it carefully, turning his eyes back to the water. “Looking forward to seeing the lad or to conducting your business?” Daddy is toying with him.

    All I know is that the fear I have been battling all night is breaking down the door of my ignorance. As my feet slam down I feel not the hard, wet asphalt but the soft Persian rug that led to the staircase in my father’s home. In the glow of lightning the dancing trees are illuminated but I see my mother in the glow of candlelight, spinning, twirling, her hair fanned out
    behind her. It is falling over me, saturating my thoughts, and I cannot. I cannot let it in.

  • Gwenn Wright Quote #4

  • Gwenn Wright Quote #6

    Another tug and a yank at my chestnut curls and she snarls at me, “You are so much like her.”

  • Gwenn Wright Quote #8

    Do not be so ridiculous, I can more easily find you someone else.” Gripping the bars of his prison so strongly that the bones of his knuckles showed prominently through his pale skin, the monster growled again, “I will have no other.”
    Nearing the end of his patience, Klaus demanded, “Why? Why are you being so impossible?”
    Turning to the diminutive creature beneath the blanket, he smiled nastily, his light red eyes gleaming, “Because he wants her.

  • Gwenn Wright Quote #9

    Don’t you believe any man who makes you feel like you were just a one-time thing.” His arms tighten around me and his words tickle my ear, “You could never be any man’s forgettable moment.” He holds me away from him and I feel ridiculously like I could melt in the dark pools of his eyes. “You are a force to be remembered, Dacie Mae.

    For a moment she believed he had left, but as she shifted away from the wall she sensed him there beside the bed. He was very close.
    Wretched curiosity!
    But she would fight it and not look.
    “Katherine,” he whispered, his breath rolling in a warm wave across her cheek. A traitor tear spilled out, the humiliation was too much to contain. Gently, a finger dabbed the wetness from her skin. He said it again, softly, as though it pleased him just to say it, “Katherine.”
    “Viktor!” the accented voice bellowed from below. And then the shadow was gone.
    Darkness overwhelmed her then and carried her away to a land of crows and mocking strangers.

    He speaks in that strange sports talk, telling me about the start of the new season and asks if I follow baseball.
    No. I really don’t.
    He assures me if I stay in town long enough I will become a baseball fan. It’s a requirement of living in St. Louis. Everyone is a Cardinal’s fan.
    “Loyal,” he tells me. St. Louis is a loyal town.

  • Gwenn Wright Quote #16

    I had turned to leave and he had called after me. “Miss Maria, I kin no other woman who could be wearing men’s trousers and be dripping such as ye are and look quite so lovely. It’s a right shame your mother is marrying you off to that great sot!”
    I had turned to call back to him, “I doubt very much we will have to worry about that after today!

    I just want to make sure Mama. Sometimes I don’t even know what I want. A lot of times I’m just tired.”

    Katherine stared intently at the cold, hard steel. She knew it would be loaded and that, if need be, there was extra ammunition in the back of the drawer. She would not be one of those girls, the ones who sit idly by and wait for the answers to come to them.

  • Gwenn Wright Quote #21

    Kevin looks at me and I know he isn’t seeing the little girl I use to be, all pigtails and gangly limbs. He isn’t seeing my mother’s daughter or even my mother anymore. As his eyes linger over me, stopping here and there in the most uncomfortable places, I know he isn’t really even seeing me as I am. The bloodshot eyes staring out of the alcohol-flushed face are seeing a girl, nearly of age, who owes him a tremendous debt of gratitude.--Rocky Evans

    Liza considering back-peddling but thought about her empty bank account. “That’ll be fine, sir. I don’t wear skirts anyway.”

  • Gwenn Wright Quote #26

    My life is hard. No one would rob me of that. The clothes I am wearing came out of a knotted up black plastic trash bag from a resale shop downtown. And not the downtown where shiny cars wink at you in the sunlight. If a car winks at you in this area it’s being driven by a person you would be best to avoid.
    My side of downtown is crumbling and skirted by chain link fences.
    --Rocky Evans

  • Gwenn Wright Quote #27

    Oil and Water, Daddy calls us. At four years younger than me, Katie is only fourteen and she already has half the boys in town eating from her pretty little hand. She tells me I am too tall and too wicked looking to capture the heart of any sensible young man.

  • Gwenn Wright Quote #28

    She says it is a school for bluestockings which, according to her, is really only a fashionable way of saying it is a school for ugly girls who cannot find suitable husbands. To tease her, for I believe it is one of his greatest pleasures in this life, my father bought a pair of blue silk stockings for me the day we received my letter of acceptance. That evening and the next, father and I dined alone.

  • Gwenn Wright Quote #29

    That Abbie is such a freaking brat who doesn’t know anything! My William is wasting away in that castle and that stuck up, self-righteous cow doesn’t even care because now she’s just all ooooo, Peter I love you! Well I don’t love Peter and he’s a jerk. Let’s go bust down the door!” She sat back and calmly pushed her hair from her face, “Now would you get me a soda?

  • Gwenn Wright Quote #30

How he had gotten up there, I had no idea, but he had been there. Crouched in the tree in the middle of the courtyard, he watched me intently through the open window.
