In a light-hearted moment from "Holiday in Death" by J.D. Robb, Eve finds amusement in her aide Peabody's witty comment, "Bite me." This phrase is a familiar retort that Eve often uses in frustrating situations, highlighting her way of dealing with annoyances. Peabody's playful choice reflects her comfortable rapport with Eve, showcasing their dynamic relationship.

Despite Eve's initial attempt to suppress laughter, McNab's cheerful interjection adds to the humor of the scene. His innocent query, "Where?" demonstrates his obliviousness to the playful banter and contrasts with the more serious tone that often accompanies Eve's character. This exchange exemplifies the lighter moments interspersed within the novel, providing glimpses into the characters' personalities and their interactions.
