It was not to them ... the liberator of the pent egotism, which a strong martial woman, well nourished, well descended, of direct impulses, downright feelings, and little introspective power (broad and simple—why could not every one be broad and simple? she asked) feels rise within her, once youth is past, and must eject upon some objectit may be Emigration, it may be Emancipation; but whatever it be, this object round which the essence of her soul is daily secreted, becomes inevitably prismatic, lustrous, half looking glass, half precious stone; now carefully hidden in case people should sneer at it; now proudly displayed.”

“Emilia typed in her password and checked her inbox. A review by the Secretariat de Gobernación of drug cartel activities across Mexico. A report of a robbery in Acapulco’s poorest barrio neighborhood that would probably never be investigated. Notice of a reward for a child kidnapped in Ixtapa who was almost certainly dead by now.
Her phone rang. It was the desk sergeant saying that a Señor Rooker wished to see her. Emilia avoided Rico’s eye as she said, yes, the sergeant could let el señor pass into the detectives’ area.
A minute later Rucker was standing by her desk, sweat beaded on his forehead. The starched collar of his shirt was damp.
“There’s a head,” he said breathlessly. “Someone’s head in a bucket on the hood of my car.”

"I'm getting the boxes," Min said, nodding. "Sure. Great. Fine. Your grandmother is an angel and you are my hero. And of course, a genius with food."
"And you are my favorite customer." Emilio kissed her cheek and disappeared back into the kitchen.
"I love him," she told Cal.

"Yes," Min said. "We've been having conversations about cake."
"Whoa," Cal said. "For you, that's talking dirty.”

“Emilio, shut the fuck up!" Carhart shouted at him, turning entirely to give his friend an incredulous look. "What's wrong with you?"

“Emily [Blunt] is such a giggler, she has such a positive life force about her and she's so giggly in a naughty sort of schoolgirl way that it kind of brings out the worst in you, you just love making her laugh. And also Nick Stoller has one of the best laughs. It's so infectious and whenever he laughs at something you do, it's like giving us a reward.”
“Emily always turned to language to soothe or lessen her distress. The letters could have served as a reminder of the pain she had experienced, but survived. Whatever purpose she had in writing remained a secret known only to her. She never shied away from looking anguish in the eye or contemplating its aftermath. To do so was an act of dominion over misery and resistance to inertia.”

“Emily alzò lo sguardo, arrossì e subito chinò la testa, come per nascondersi. Fino a quel momento, non si era neanche accorta che ci fosse quello specchio enorme sul muro.
«Perché non vuoi guardarti?»
Che domande. Non voleva guardarsi perché si sentiva mediocre, poco attraente e stupida. Si coprì con le braccia e non rispose.
«Ora ti faccio vedere come sei realmente.» disse lui, avvicinandosi e prendendole i polsi. «L’aspetto che hai quando sei con me.»
Le aprì le braccia, e lei cercò di divincolarsi debolmente.
Castiel si mise di nuovo dietro di lei, tenendole le mani unite sulla schiena. Le spostò i capelli da un lato e le baciò dolcemente il collo, la nuca e le spalle.
«Guardati.» le ordinò.
Emily gettò una rapida occhiata allo specchio e subito serrò le palpebre.
«Mi vergogno.»
«Cosa stai dicendo?» le accarezzò il seno nudo e i fianchi. «Sei bellissima.»”
