He grinned.
Page 302:
"Don't go away then," I responded, unable to hide the longing in my voice.

Page 306:
"Just because I'm resisting the wine doesn't mean I can't appreciate the bouquet," he whispered. "You have a very floral smell, like lavender…or freesia," he noted. "It's mouthwatering."

"Breakfast time," he said eventually, casually ― to prove, I'm sure, that he remembered all my human frailties.
So I clutched my throat with both hands and stared at him with wide eyes. Shock crossed his face.
"Kidding!" I snickered. "And you said I couldn't act!"
Page 315:
I grinned, hopping up.
"That's all right, I fend for myself pretty well. Watch me hunt."
Page 316:
"Well, it's no irritable grizzly…,"
Page 319:
"What am I going to do with you?"he groaned in exasperation. "Yesterday I kiss you, and you attack me! Today you pass out on me!"

Page 464:
"Don't forget to breathe," I whispered sarcastically.
