• He'd only been gone two seconds, but the room got brighter when they were together, as if they were two elements that became brilliant in proximity.

I didn't think what we had could get to this, even if you gave it a thousand years.

Her eyes held me even after I stopped feeling her fingers gripping my arms. Sam," she said. "Don't go.

• The thing I was beginning to figure out about Sam and Grace, the thing about Sam not being able to function without her, was that that sort of love only worked when you were sure both people would always be around for each other.

Without Grace, Sam was a joke without a punch line.

  People, Perfect, Grace

• For a second, he was still, blinking. Then he shook off all the blankets and coats so that his arms were free and he wrapped them around me as tightly as he could. I felt him shuddering, shuddering against me as he buried his face in my hair. I said, uselessly, "Sam, don't go." Sam cupped my face in his hands and looked me in the eyes. His eyes were yellow, sad, wolf, mine. "These stay the same. Remember that when you look at me. Remember it's me. Please."" — Grace and Sam (Shiver)

There was nothing particularly special about her, except that she was good with numbers, and very good at lying, and she made her home in between the pages of books.

• That night, like every other night since I’d met her, I curled Grace into my arms, listening to her parents’ muffled movements in the living room. They were like busy little brainless birds, fluttering in and out of their nest at all hours of the day or night, so involved in the pleasure of nest building that they hadn’t noticed that it had been empty for years.

I knelt beside her; her eyes were huge and afraid and my heart was breaking. "I'll come find you, I said. "I promise I'll come find you. Don't forget me. Don't-don't lose yourself."
