So here it is - the 23rd page of the book nearest to me. Next three sentences after the fifth sentence. I had to approximate a little because my book has lots of confusing emotional dialogue - so I counted as one sentence the ramblings of one character before the next character picked it up. So without further ado:

"I mean, if you could only...I mean, could you...--If you might just put your arm around me, hold me,---firmly, and perhaps even love me just a -- love? Oh what am I talking about! If you just wouldn't hate me--"

She stopped - amidst her uninteresting (to him) confusion: because he'd moved over on the bench, put his arm around her, and held her, firmly.

"Shit..." she whispered. After a few moments she asked: "You don't hate me for making you do...this?"

"No."


Okay - so that's more like four-five sentences. But I couldn't just leave her question hanging like that.

I had to shop around a little because the first book I actually grabbed was something on mathematical physics. Then the next one was a C++ programming book.

I'm supposed to tag 5 other people on my flist - but I think I'll forego that since most of my flist friends are also friended by glimmergirl
