Quote by Jaime Jo Wright

“I'm not a scared kitten," Cleo protested, though she wasn't so sure she believed it. "No?" Deacon tilted his head to study her. A bunny then?" "I'm not a rabbit." "Fish?" "I don't swim." "Ah!" He snapped his fingers. "You're a leopard gecko!" "A what?" Cleo frowned. She'd not expected that at all. "You know, one of those lizards people have as pets. They prefer to stay hidden but can be very loyal and friendly companions once you earn their trust.”

'Go back, go back!' she said. 'This is no place for you!' Her big luminous eyes seemed to be looking right at Lew Stahl as she spoke. Her finger came out and pointed, and it seemed to aim straight at him and him alone. It was weird; he almost stopped in his tracks, then went on again. He hadn't eaten all day; he figured he must be woozy, to think things like that. ("Dusk To Dawn")”
