― Brigid Kemmerer, quote from Storm

― Brigid Kemmerer, quote from Storm

“Quinn.”
“Her friend waved a hand. “No, I think you might be on to something. This is clearly an elaborate plot to screw with you.

― Brigid Kemmerer, quote from Storm

“Wow. You like to get all this out of the way up front, huh?”
― Brigid Kemmerer, quote from Storm

“Yeah, it was great,” Becca returned flatly. “I should have made popcorn.”
“Seriously. When they’re all slow and tentative and circling, and then ka-pow, they just explode with power. It’s totally sexy.” …

“Great,” said Becca. “It’ll be totally sexy.”
― Brigid Kemmerer, quote from Storm

Tension rode on the sunlight as she listened to Hunter's breathing shake.
"It's okay," said Michael. "You don't want to do this."
Inch by inch, Hunter lowered the gun into Michael's palm, finally letting go.
Michael didn't move. "You alright?"
Hunter nodded.
"Good." Michael wrapped his hand around the hilt.
Then he lifted it, cocked the hammer, and put the barrel against Hunter's forehead. "Now where the f*** are my brothers?”
― Brigid Kemmerer, quote from Storm
