Maximus grunted. “Some days you remind me of Vlad.” “Meaning?” I said sharply. “Your obsession with revenge. Next you’ll want to drive a pole through that vampire once you find her.” The thought was appealing, but...
The servants must wait like ninjas for me to leave so they could render this place spotless again.
God, Bones, you must have argued yourself blue in the face.

Age had taught him patience. Youth had taught me to get frustrated at the lack of progress.
I thought Bones looked like a little slice of heaven, but you’re the whole cake, aren’t you, sugar?
