Richelle Mead: Doing (page 3)

“Dimitri: "Were you really going to attack all of us? Doing that… protecting her like that—it was very brave. Stupid, but still brave. Why did you even try it?”
Rose: "Because I'm her guardian.”

“How do you prove we exist? Maybe we don't.”

“How do you know if a demon is lying? His lips are moving.”

“Slushes. Do you know how much I love those? Cherry, especially.”

“Thats why your doing this? Because Lissa told you to?”

“He almosted smiled. "There you go again. Why? Why do yo keep helping me?"
There were a million answers on my lips, everything from It's the right thing to do to I don't know. Instead, I said, "Because I want to.”

“Okay. Now you have to move your arms and legs.”
“I know how to make a snow angel.”
“Then do it! Otherwise, you’re more like a chalk outline at a police crime scene.”

“Who… who are you?' I asked at last. It was true. I had left a body in the park, but seriously, what was I supposed to do? Drag him back to my hotel and tell my bellhop my friend had had too much to drink?”

“Sage,” Adrian declared. “These hands don’t do manual labor.”

“Do you love him?”

“I'm not really qualified to install a security system," said Dimitri.
"Really? There's something you can't do?" Adrian's voice was so soft that I could barely hear him, and he was sitting right next to me.”

“I just wish I could have all this and stand up to her a little. Rose would."
"Rose would have gotten herself arrested for treason the first time Tatiana asked her to do something.”

“And after a while… I mean how do you choose? Who gets to live? Part of life is that… well, some people have to die.”

“Do you believe in fairy tales?"
"What… what kind of fairy tales?"
"The kind you aren't supposed to waste your life on.”

“She was right about something else too," Dimitri said after a long pause…. "That I do still love you.”

“You fixed yourself. You didn’t need me.”

“No, Sydney.” My voice was ragged. “I do need you. You have no idea how much I need you.”

“Everything Iʹd been taught about eluding someone came rushing back to my head. What I wanted to do more than anything was look around and see if I had a follower, but that would have definitely attracted attention.”

“He looked up at me with angelic eyes. "Doing what?"
"You know what. You're luring me in. You know I can't resist-”

“I'd do a lot of things to protect you.”
