The Many Sins of Lord Cameron (Mackenzies & McBrides #3) Dead Spots (Scarlett Bernard #1)

I heard you stopped in at the Millers, about an hour before a pair of my FBI agents stopped in, Leslie said. Did you find anything?

Please trust me, Tessa is saying. Im no nursing major, but I know this: if you wear that outfit to the party, youre going to have a stroke, and there wont be anyone there to revive you.You dont think there will be any pre-med students there?

Tangled Webs (The Black Jewels #6)

Pfft, nooo—theyre probably studying right now.Thank god—saving lives takes some learn-ed learning.She doesnt get my joke.

One in a Million (Lucky Harbor #12)

Im serious, Scarlett. Youre literally going to die if you wear that. Plus…Her sentence trails off, blue eyes—the color of ocean breeze contact lenses—raking up and down my body for the second time. Cringing when they reach my scarf.

She hates my outfit but is too sweet to tell me.

Do you not like my outfit?I told her to be careful, Lilly whispered. I was afraid something like this would happen. Shes come so far… The rest of what she intended to say faded. Lilly was tough emotionally, but I could see how upset she was. When she first joined me, her eyes were bright, as if holding back tears. I knew the two of them were close and was grateful Shay had such a good friend.

The surgeon entered the room and both Lilly and I stood, anxious for a report on Shays condition.Are you family? the physician asked.

Betrayed (House of Night #2)

She has none that Im aware of; Im her pastor, I said. I was more, but I didnt mention it.Im her friend, Lilly volunteered.

The surgeon explained the details of the surgery at length and what had been necessary to relieve the pressure on Shays brain. The bottom line was that Shays prognosis was good, but it would be several hours, if not days, before she awoke.Once she was out of recovery and in a room, we would be able to see her.

With family obligations, Lilly had to leave, but I promised to give her an update as soon as there was anything to report.I walked Lilly to the elevator and once I returned, I found that Shay was out of recovery and in her room. Pulling a chair next to her bed, I held her hand and prayed as fervently as I had been doing ever since Id received word shed been hurt.

Sometime during the second day, Kevin came and we prayed together. Lilly Palmer stopped by every day and Richard did, too, but not Chuck. Thankfully Linda kept watch over the children.For Mark and Sarahs sake, I went home at night and answered their questions. Sarah prayed for Shay and I suspected Mark did, too, but not kneeling at his bedside the way my daughter did.
