"في الحقيقة،" قال إريك وهو يتجه نحو الباب الأمامي، "سأرميها كلها. ربما أحرقها." غادر، وأغلق الباب خلفه بهدوء شديد. كنت أعلم، يقينًا كمعرفتي باسمي، أنه في الغد سيرسل لي معطفًا آخر، في صندوق كبير فاخر، مزينًا بشريط ضخم. سيكون بالمقاس الصحيح، ومن ماركة عالمية، وسيكون دافئًا. كان لونه أحمر توتي، ببطانة قابلة للإزالة، وقبعة منفصلة، وأزرار بلون صدف السلحفاة."

"In fact," Eric said, as he went to the front door, "I'd throw it away entirely. Maybe burn it."He left, closing the door behind him very quietly. I knew, as sure as I knew my name, that tomorrow he would send me another coat, in a big fancy box, with a big bow on it. It would be the right size, it would be a top brand, and it would be warm. It was cranberry red, with a removable liner, a detachable hood and tortoiseshell buttons."

"He pulled my coat off my shoulders, looked at it with distaste, hung it on the back of one of the chairs pushed in under the kitchen table. "You are beautiful". No one had ever looked me in the eyes and said that. Eric to Sookie, Page 208."

"I had never realized a woman could have to struggle to keep her hands off a man, but here I was, digging my nails into my palms, staring at the inside of my eyelids as though I could maybe see through them if I peered hard enough."
"لم أكن أدرك قط أن امرأة قد تضطر إلى النضال لتمسك يديها عن رجل، لكن ها أنا ذا، أغرس أظافري في راحتيّ، أحدق في باطن جفوني وكأنني ربما أستطيع الرؤية من خلالها لو أمعنت النظر بما فيه الكفاية."

"I had two cups of coffee, put Eric's jeans in the washer, read a romance for awhile, and studied my brand-new Word of the Day calendar, a Christmas gift from Arlene. My first word of the New Year was 'exsanguinate.' This was probably not a good omen."
"تناولت كوبين من القهوة، وضعت بنطال إريك الجينز في الغسالة، قرأت رواية رومانسية لبعض الوقت، ثم درست تقويمي الجديد "كلمة اليوم"، وهو هدية عيد الميلاد من أرلين. كانت أول كلمة لي في العام الجديد هي "استنزف الدم". ربما لم يكن هذا فألاً حسناً."

"Because he sounded so lost-the Eric I knew had never been one to do anything other than assume others should serve him-I patted around under the covers for his hand. When I found it, I slid my own over it. His palm was turned up to meet my palm, and his fingers clasped mine. And though I would not have thought it possible to go to sleep holding hands with a vampire, that's exactly what I did."

"As I climbed up into the high old bed, the large fly in my personal ointment did the same. Had I actually told him he could get in bed with me? Well, I decided, as I wriggled down under the soft old sheets and the blanket and the comforter, if Eric had designs on me, I was just too tired to care."Woman"Hmmm"What's your name"Sookie.
