  bones, and she swallowed hard.
  
  “I forgive you. Now, get off me.”
  
  “You know, in this light, your hair looks sort of...green.”
  
   _“Get off me now!”_

  “Zack!” Lucy threw her arms around him and pulled him down to her. After a
  moment of silence, Zack raised his shoulders off Lucy and gazed cautiously
  over the hill at her burning car.
  
  “Nice little bomb,” he said reflectively. “Very neat.”
  
  Lucy eased the top of her body up, too, still under him, and watched the
  flames, horrified. He looked down at her, and when she turned back they were
  nose-to-nose.
  
  “You okay?”
  
  “Zack,” Lucy said. “Somebody’s trying to kill me.”
  
  “You know,” Zack said, “I had an instinct about that.”
  
    
  
  “Wonderfully fresh, funny, tender and outrageous... Crusie is one of a kind.”
