"But he couldn't do it with orchid. He had to know. 'But you think it was showing off.' 'Well...' she ducked her chin and her bangs fell into her eyes, but they didn't hide her smile. 'Wasn't it?' He smiled back. OK, she had him there. 'A little.' 'A little?' She repeated. Now he grinned wide. 'Oh, Orchid, when I really want to show off, you'll know it."

"And then Vaughn, too, lost the ability to speak. Or at least, she no longer heard it over the thunderous rush in her ears. She felt his hands on her shoulders, pulling her up and back out of the room, and he seemed to be shouting her name. Dark spots appeared in the corner of her vision. She choked and spluttered and stared into Vaughn's light brown eyes, until they were only things she could see. 'Breathe,' he ordered, and she did. Her lungs inflated, and she gasped., 'Mr. Boddy!
