Opening Lines:
It's not my fault I have to kill. He'd been watching since the tour began. Eyes straight ahead, keeping cool, like he wasn't even paying attention. But he noticed everything. Even got a sense for what was happening behind his back. His past life had taught him how to do that--out of necessity. When it was something bad, he felt a vibration in the air, pulling up the hair on his arms. And he'd know. He'd just know. |

Opening Lines:
"I've been dreaming of this day my whole life!" My mom and my long-lost father were finally marrying. For the first time, we'd be a family--a real family, living under the same roof. From now on I could come home from high school to a mom and a dad. How I'd begged God for this. How I'd yearned for it, ever since I was little and wondered where my father was. Who he was. Now I wanted to shout and sing and dance. And I would, except, as maid of honor, I was dressed to the nines in beautiful coral silk, and I didn't dare get sweaty. |
