He grabbed a towel off the shelf. After dampening it, he tossed it to me. Clean yourself up. He sent a devilish grin my way. I can't have my little Apol yon-in-training looking like a mess. My fingers clenched around the towel. If you ever say something that stupid again, I wil smother you in your sleep. His golden brows rose. Little Alex, are you suggesting that we sleep together? Stunned by how he came to that conclusion, I lowered the towel. What? No! Then how could you smother me in my sleep unless you were in bed with me? He gave a sly grin. Think about it. Oh, shut up.

In the scene, a character grabs a towel and playfully tosses it to another, urging them to clean up. He teases about their appearance, calling them an "Apol yon-in-training," which hints at a light-hearted yet affectionate relationship. The character reacts defensively, threatening an exaggerated consequence if such comments continue. This banter shows their camaraderie, blending humor and tension.

The dialogue escalates when the teasing takes a suggestive turn. The character's playful interpretation of a threat leads to a misunderstanding about sharing a bed, revealing a deeper dynamic at play. The protagonist feels flustered and is forced to clarify their intentions. This exchange captures the essence of their relationship—filled with playful jabs and underlying attraction—adding depth to the characters' interactions.

My life amounts to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean. Yet what is any ocean, but a multitude of drops?

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.

Small towns are like metronomes; with the slightest flick, the beat changes.

Look, if you say that science will eventually prove there is no God, on that I must differ. No matter how small they take it back, to a tadpole, to an atom, there is always something they can't explain, something that created it all at the end of the search. And no matter how far they try to go the other way – to extend life, play around with the genes, clone this, clone that, live to one hundred and fifty – at some point, life is over. And then what happens? When the life comes to an end? I shrugged. You see? He leaned back. He smiled. When you come to the end, that's where God begins.

Books don't offer real escape, but they can stop a mind scratching itself raw.
