  • Rachael Wade Quote #1

    And then the lights went low, and our song began.

    The song I’d been working on since I’d arrived on the island. The one that morphed into something else entirely, something I never intended it to be. But music is like that. Much like life. It tells the story, it takes the lead.

    You’re just along for the ride.


  • Rachael Wade Quote #2

    B-b-but who will I have cleaning marathons with?”

    “Casey. I’ll be there in spirit.”

    “She’s not neurotic and cranky like you.”

    “You’ll miss that, ay?”

    “Hell yes, I’ll miss that! When you’re obsessive and pissy, you tell those floors who’s boss. They won’t shine like that when Casey scrubs them. And don’t get me started on our Covenant Series discussions. The girl thinks Alex should pick Seth. Seth, Em. How can I clean with someone who isn’t Team Aiden? It’s like...madness. Madness on Earth. The fucking apocalypse—”

    “Whitney,” I chuckled, squeezing her tighter, “I assure you, you’ll survive. The second she starts running her mouth about Aiden, just spray her with bleach. That’ll teach her a lesson.”

    -Emma and Whitney

  • Rachael Wade Quote #3

    Because that’s life, you know? Good and bad. You can’t have one without the other. The bad brings out the good in us, and the good can be corrupted by the bad. It’s always a struggle—to fight for the good, so it tips the scale. - Jet Phoenix

  • Rachael Wade Quote #4

    Dear God, if I made it through this alive and conscious, my name deserved to be added to some X-rated category in the Guinness Book of World Records or something.

    -Emma

  • Rachael Wade Quote #5

    Do you really want to put yourself through this? Is loving me really enough to endure everything you have to just to be with me?

    Meeting his fiery gaze, I ran my fingers through his hair, kissed him gently before I attempted to set us both free.

    It will always be enough.

  • Rachael Wade Quote #6

    Don't start that again. It's not my fault you don't have any masculine aprons.

    That's because aprons aren't masculine, genius.

    Don't make me have you for dinner, princess.

    Whatever, Betty Crocker. Knock yourself out.

  • Rachael Wade Quote #7

    Emma has it wrong. You don’t ditch your men, you kill them.”

    “I won’t kill you.” She stepped in front of me and took my hand, watching me take the last drag of my cigarette. “I like you too much.

  • Rachael Wade Quote #8

    Fiction is just that–fiction. Yes, it is serious business, but it should also be taken for face value. It’s entertainment. It’s escapism. It’s 365 pages of relaxation.

  • Rachael Wade Quote #9

    Forgiveness wasn’t ever easy, but a feat much more manageable when you weren’t the subject of its grace. Maybe I’d always be a broken recipient of grace. And in that musing, I found rest.

  • Rachael Wade Quote #10

    Gavin turned us to face Josh, a satisfied grin springing up when he noticed the condition of Josh’s clothes.
    “Thanks for the last-minute invitation, man.” Josh chuckled, patting Gavin on the shoulder. “Shall I do the honors, Mr. Suave?”
    “Sure thing, Frodo Baggins. By the way, I hear the Shire has impeccable dinner parties this time of year.” The corners of Gavin’s lips twitched and his eyebrows shot up as he gestured to a food stain of some sort near the collar of Josh’s white shirt.
    Josh’s chin shot down to follow Gavin’s amusement and he quickly tried to wipe away the crumbs. “Yeah, well … you know how we hobbits like to eat.

  • Rachael Wade Quote #11

    Gavin! What’ll I wear home?”
    “Cloak.” His voice roughened and he ripped harder, tossing the material to the ground. I felt his smile when he kissed my neck, and shivers ran down my back at the sound of his low growl.
    “I made that! I don’t have many of those, you know.”
    “Cam,” he snaked one hand around my stomach and made his way north, slipping one hand into my corset top to grope my chest. “You won’t be thinking about it when I’m inside you.” His hips shifted off my back and he separated my legs with his knee, his breathing ragged against my shoulder. “Now forget the damn dress.

  • Rachael Wade Quote #12

    Gavin, I never thought you’d be the irrational one in this relationship, but I’m happy to report that you’ve just thoroughly shocked me.”
    He rolled to his side to lean on his arm, keeping my hand resting on his chest, buried underneath his shirt. “I know. My timing is impeccable.” He smirked, letting his hungry gaze drift over my body. “But I’m sorry, love. I cannot take seeing you all tucked up in this sexy corset anymore. The ties are so tight, they’re just begging me to undo them.” His fingers trailed over the top of my chest and down over the corset’s binding, tugging at the edges of the lace as he went. “Forcefully,” he winked.

  • Rachael Wade Quote #13

    Hey Kate, you coming to our show Friday night? He leaned in close and touched my shoulder. The guys would love to see you there.

    Yes. Yes, the guys would indeed. Carter rolled his eyes and smirked. I held back my grin, well aware that he was laughing inwardly at the same thing I was. When Dean spoke of 'the guys,' he mostly meant himself.

    With a body like a Ken doll and hair like Meredith's McDreamy, I couldn't figure out for the life of me what he wanted with me.

  • Rachael Wade Quote #14

    I better go, Carter squeezed me once more and stood, grabbing his wallet from the coffee table. I need to hit up the lottery if I want to get you out of this mess. Will you let me buy a monkey if we win, though?

    Only if you buy me an island off the coast of Fiji.

    You crazy-ass woman. A monkey is so much cooler than an island.

    How about a monkey IN Fiji?

    Now there's a woman after my own heart, Carter slapped his hand to his chest, sighing dramatically. I'll let you know if we win. He started for the door.

    Uh huh.

    You'll know if we do. I'll be the one streaking on Pike Street.

  • Rachael Wade Quote #15

    I came to the sobering realization that I was not making it out of here alive, no matter what. I was bruised and bloodied in mind and body, surrounded by the most literal interpretation of monsters, and a final nail in the coffin--I was in love with one of them. The love and loss alone would kill me, if not for the mythical creatures standing in front of me, ready to beat love and loss to the punch.-- Camille

  • Rachael Wade Quote #16

    I did not have all the answers. I did not know if I’d deserved God’s grace or wrath, or what would become of me if I ever fled this town.

    But I did know how to shoot a gun. - Skylla Warden

  • Rachael Wade Quote #17

    I hoped Tia was different. Easier to manage for people like me, who didn’t naturally jive with the little tykes. I’d only met her for a few seconds, so I had no idea what I was in for, here. All I knew was this wasn’t my element, and her father had just compared me to a pregnant woman.

    Wasn’t there something wrong with this picture?

  • Rachael Wade Quote #18

    I knew it would be all of those things and so much more to me, but it was his heart I was yanking from his chest with my decision, and that’s what mattered to me. I was giving up a piece of my own as well, but it was a choice.
    His was just collateral.

  • Rachael Wade Quote #19

    I looked around the room, at everyone who inhabited the space, person and monster, slave and master, aware we were in the madness together, swirling around in the same mess, all out to get something, a piece of our own pie. But I knew that in the midst of that noxious stew, coming to terms with our poisons was only the beginning.
    Ever forward, Cecile’s voice replayed in my mind. Ever forward.

  • Rachael Wade Quote #20

    I saw it in his eyes, first—the beginning of the end, the beginning of things to come. The blackest night, they cut into me, paralyzing my trembling body. Not even the gods could sense my fear now, for the celebration of the monsters who’d claimed me drowned out all perception of pain. It was all-powerful, all-knowing, the definition of infinite, an overwhelming possession that consumed every inch of my being.

  • Rachael Wade Quote #21

    I smiled and rolled onto my side, bringing my arms around her. She wiggled against me, letting me spoon her, and I swept some sweaty hair away from her neck to kiss beneath her ear. “How do you like your new tattoo?”

    “I love it. It makes me want to be a bird.”

    “You already are a bird.”

    “I don’t get to fly.”

    “You fly all the time. Haven’t you noticed?

  • Rachael Wade Quote #22

    I turned to face Audrey, and everything I loved was right there in her eyes, the memories tangible: the schooldays and sleepovers, the cheap bottles of wine and sappy chick flicks. She was there for my mother’s drunken relapses, there to hold me until I fell asleep the first time the ex from Seattle hit me. It was all there, and my God, each memory was suddenly sacred and the sun rose and set upon it.

  • Rachael Wade Quote #23

    I was about to say that we all hurt the ones we love. That we can’t help it and that for some reason, we’re just defective like that. Maybe because those we love most bring out the very best and the worst in us, and in some twisted way, we resist that magic.

  • Rachael Wade Quote #24

    I winked and locked my arm in Carter's, and we stood there, watching Dean stroll away.

    You know the guy's never gonna give up, Carter nudged me, letting out a sigh.

    We'd have really pretty babies, huh?

    Yup. They'd be rad little Brangelinas, running around tearing the place up.

    Yeah, you're right. My rejection is such a disservice to the world...

  • Rachael Wade Quote #25

    Is there a problem, Ms. Parker? Something you want to say to me? Reaching for his tie, he began to loosen it, unraveling it with his fingers, angry eyes still locked on mine.

    I'm not sure I like being your pet. Or science project, I don't know which.

    You have a smart mouth.

    You make smart observances.

    You're going to make this invitation difficult, aren't you?

    If you're dishonest with me, yes.

    You'll regret it if you don't accept.

    Is that a threat?

    That's a promise.

  • Rachael Wade Quote #26

    It was amazing the things you could bring yourself to do when you felt insecure, when you were out to protect your heart. You could deny it what it wants most, just for the sake of saving your pride or dodging another bullet.

  • Rachael Wade Quote #27

    It wouldn’t be long until I made my declaration. I didn’t just need my position to be clear, I needed to blind Whitney with blazing fireballs of glory. Real hardcore knock-em-down shit.

  • Rachael Wade Quote #28

    Joel’s face swam across my vision and I blinked, goose bumps running up my arms. I shook his memory away, determined to stay focused, although my heart caved at the thought of his last words to us, right here in this very spot: Take care of each other. I’d be damned if I was going to let him down now.

  • Rachael Wade Quote #29

    Let me tell you something, honey. Fifty percent of life is others trying to push their own agenda on you—their belief system, their views, their convictions. The other fifty percent is you deciding whether or not you’re going to let them. Or if you’re going to form your own opinions.

    -Miss Velma

  • Rachael Wade Quote #30

    Let me tell you something, honey. When your boobs fall south and that pretty skin of yours looks like you’ve been tanning in a nuclear war zone, you’ll see what I mean about independence. When the looks are gone, all you’ve got left is your spirit, and ya gotta use it until you lose it. That and the occasional sponge bath from Francisco, but soon his ass will be just as wrinkly as mine. Beauty fades, but a strong will keeps ya young and springy.

    -Miss Velma
