There were some things said in Anew and Awry that I just felt the need to share because they were either SO deep, or SO funny! If you want to read the books first, THEN DON'T READ THIS POST! If you've already read the book or you don't mind some spoiler quotes, then read on! You won't be disappointed :)
ANEW
Later that night, Scarlet tossed in her bed as she dreamt.
She and Gabriel were in a field and he was gently swinging her around as he
sang— loudly and off key. Scarlet was laughing hysterically and demanding to be
put down.
“No. Not until you agree to dance with me and sing at the top of your
lungs.” He broke into song again.
She could barely speak through her laughter.
“I can’t sing. I sing like a duck.”
“A duck?” He swung her around again. “Ducks
don’t sing. They quack.”
“Exactly.”
“Very well.” Gabriel started waltzing with mock seriousness. “We shall quack,
then.” He swung her around, her long hair sailing in the wind as he quacked.
“Quack, quack. Quack, quack.” Gabriel’s duck imitation was spot-on.
Scarlet was
laughing so hard her stomach and cheeks began to hurt. “Stop quacking.”
“Not
until you dance with me.”
“Fine, fine.” Scarlet controlled her laughter for a
moment. “Just put me down.”
Gabriel looked at her closely, pressing his nose to
hers as he spoke. “If I put you down, you’ll dance with me?”
Scarlet smiled.
“Only if you quit quacking.”
He smiled broadly. “Very well.” He set her on her
feet and eyed her carefully.
Scarlet burst into laughter and took off running.
“But first you have to catch me….” And off she ran, laughing until tears fell
down her cheeks, with Gabriel right at her heels, quacking away.

**Hehe** So cute! Especially the quacking...
AWRY
[Nate] He clasped his hands together. “Okay, new rule. No more
fighting in the living room amidst the expensive furniture and breakable
windows. I’d rather not let in any additional cold drafts, on the slight chance
our immortality doesn’t extend to hypothermia.”

LOL...I LOVE Nate...he always says the cutest things.
Gabriel rolled his eyes.
“Dude,” Nate said, tightening his
scarf. “It’s freezing in here. We’re immortals, not snowmen. Oh, and also?” He
looked at Tristan and shrugged. “No more sneaking away with deadly,
immortal-killing weapons with the intention of, I dunno, dying.” Nate held up
his mitten-clad hands. “Nobody approves.”

We're not snowmen and seriously, Tristen...nobody approves!
“Okay.” Nate took a deep breath. “Now that we’re all caught
up on the new no-no’s of the house, what do you say we find a tarp and some
duct tape and MacGyver ourselves a new
window in the living room? Just, you know, to keep out the wind… and the
leaves… and any sharp-toothed woodland creatures prone to attacking people in
their sleep.”
Tristan raised a brow.
“What?”
Nate shrugged. “Death by dragon? Awesome. Death by rabid forest
squirrel? Not cool, man. Not cool.”
“You’re immortal, Nate,” Gabriel said.
“So?
That doesn’t mean I want rabies.” Nate shook his head.

Everything about this is funny...LOL
Slowly pulling back, Tristan murmured, “Is it okay if I love
you?”
Scarlet tried to catch her breath as she looked into his beautiful eyes.
“Only if it is okay that I love you back.”
“Deal,” he said, pressing his lips
back against hers, resuming their kiss.
Wet, soft and hot, Scarlet had never
felt anything so blissful.

“Marry me,” he said. He could not live without her and he
did not want to. Not ever.
Scarlet was silent for a long time. “Don’t be
foolish, Hunter.”
He smiled at the sky above them. “Marry me, Scar.”
She turned
her head to look at him with big blue eyes, her cheek smashed against his
chest. “I do not belong in your village or your castle.”
“You belong right
here.” He looked at her and stroked her back. “With me. We can live in the
village, or the castle, or the woods or the water… wherever you want. We will
take your mother and be a family.”
Scarlet eyes looked pained. “But I have
nothing for you. I am a thief. I am
nothing.”
He smiled at her. “You are everything.” He went back to stroking her
hair and lowered his voice to just above a whisper, “Marry me, Scar.”
“Are you
sure you want me?”
Her eyes looked so insecure that Tristan thought his heart
would break. How could this girl doubt his love even for a moment? “I love
you,” he said. “I want you more than life itself. Forever.” He brushed a hand
across her cheek. “And I will take care of you always. Marry me.”
Scarlet
blinked and stared at him with her lips parted. “Okay,” she whispered. A slow
smile spread across his face.
“Yes?”
“Yes,” she repeated, smiling. “But only
because I love you.”

Eeeee!!! So charming **swoon**. Where is my Tristan?
Panting and flushed, Heather was the last member of Team
Awesome to barge through the front door, mud coating the bottom half of her
heels. “I twisted my ankle, swallowed a fly, and ran through a spider web
trying to follow you here, Scarlet. This better be good!”

Oh Heather...haha. Swallowed a fly!
