ME: Is it wrong that I’m tempted to ask where you live so I can subtly swing by tonight with the excuse I was in the neighborhood and thought I saw someone too close to your house?
LANA: Is it wrong that I hope you’ll break some rules, find my address, and do just that?

"You're more readable than a newspaper, and you want me to believe that you have no ulterior motive behind your unusual request?"
"No," I say it, and I believe it, too. "Please."
He watches me for a beat, his body still turned to the door, and I think he'll ignore me and proceed with whatever violence plot he has, but he releases the doorknob and stalks in my direction.
My heart nearly drops to my stomach as he removes his trousers and slides to my side, then pulls me atop of him.
"Leave again and I will fucking tie you to me," he whispers against my forehead.
"I won't," I murmur back and resist the urge to kiss his chest. What the hell?
It's just an unnatural reaction to the fact that
he allowed himself to be stopped by me. There's absolutely nothing more to it.
Right?
Killian's lips meet my forehead and I'm pretty sure something jostles in my heart when he murmurs, "That's my girl."
She looks at it expectantly. "Will I find a ... dead rat in this?"
"Shh. It's supposed to be a surprise."
"You're not funny."
"So you keep telling me, but I promise it's not my intent to be. Now, open it."
Her eyes turn to slits, but she slowly opens the container and pauses. I took extra care in making rice, shrimp, two types of salad and some eggs.
"Wow." Her lips part. "You...made this?"
"Yeah. Look, I even did a smiley face with the vegetables on the rice."
Her shoulders shake with laughter. "That's a very creepy smile and looks more horror-esque.”
"At least I tried." I pass her the utensils.
"Now, eat."
Much as they were attached to each other, they seemed to draw inexhaustible stores of affection from a very mine of love to bestow them upon me. My mother's tender caresses and my father's smile of benevolent pleasure while regarding me are my first recollections. I was their plaything and their idol, and something better--their child, the innocent and helpless creature bestowed on them by heaven, whom to bring up to good, and whose future lot it was in their hands to direct to happiness or misery, according as they fulfilled their duties towards me. With this deep consciousness of what they owed towards the being to which they had given life, added to the active spirit of tenderness that animated both, it may be imagined that while during every hour of my infant life I received a lesson of patience, of charity, and of self-control, I was so guided by a silken cord that all seemed but one train of enjoyment to me.

'i need lunch for me and three of my officers. think you could go in there and rustle up some sandwiches? there's a five pounds in it for you if they're edible.'
'yes, sir. certainly, sir. they'll be the best you ever tasted.' he trotted into the house.
'your fiver's safe, mr barnes,' george said. 'the wrapper will be the only edible bit, take it from me.'

then i realized he was still holding my hand.
he realized it at the same instant. our fingers kind of fell away, swinging back into vigilant positions at our work-belts, ready to seize salt bomb or rapier at a moment's notice. lockwood cleared his throat; i pushed my hair out of my eyes. our boots did small, intricate shuffles on the frosty ground.
'what the hell was that?' i said.
'the shadow?' lockwood glanced at me from under his fringe. 'of course the shadow...' he shook his head.

'are you alone?'
'no.'
'don't tell me. i know who it is. stands to reason he'd help you.' even at a distance, the appalling parody of lockwood's voice was clear. ' "what? a suicidal mission, you say, lucy? certain death, you say? just what i enjoy. sign me up!" well, all the better if it is lockwood. you can sacrifice him to rescue me. i call that a very decent swap.'

Yet, although unhappy, he is not so utterly occupied by his own misery but that he interests himself deeply in the projects of others. He has frequently conversed with me on mine, which I have communicated to him without disguise. He entered attentively into all my arguments in favour of my eventual success and into every minute detail of the measures I had taken to secure it. I was easily led by the sympathy which he evinced to use the language of my heart, to give utterance to the burning ardour of my soul and to say, with all the fervour that warmed me, how gladly I would sacrifice my fortune, my existence, my every hope, to the furtherance of my enterprise. One man's life or death were but a small price to pay
for the acquirement of the knowledge which I sought, for the dominion I should acquire and transmit over the elemental foes of our race.
