Noteworthy Passages

Sophie; pg.59
He looked at me, and I noticed for the first time in the dark car that his eyes had a glassy look to them. I could almost see my reflection. It was like a subtle shine to a lake in the evening. It was mesmerizing.

Exchange Between Sophie and Wes; pg.73
"Can I get in one?" I asked.
"Of course." He motioned his hand, obligingly, toward the closest car. He had a devious smile on his face, but I ignored it. I tried to grab for a door handle, but there wasn't one. "How do I..." I started to ask, but then it registered. "Wait, I'm not supposed to climb in, am I?"
"Yes," he said, chuckling, and that explained his insidious invitation.
"Never mind," I said, turning away from the car, as the embarrassing vision flashed through my brain.

Exchange between Sophie and Dawn; pg. 102-103
I set the phone down on the counter and after only a minute, I stared at it, wondering why he hadn't replied. I didn't even notice dawn sneak up behind me.
"Are you waiting for it to jump up and dance?" she asked. I looked up to notice her eyeing my phone. I let out a chuckle.
"Yeah, I suppose so."
"Hmm...I'm betting a guy...no, not just a guy. A really cute guy," she said, hypothesizing.
"What makes you say that?" I asked, trying to sound innocent.
"Because you wouldn't be watching it that hard if it wasn't."
