    64

    65

    Carmen was waiting and he was ready to give her his full attention – as soon as they got the children to bed.

    72

    Damian waved him away, his attention returning to Darian.

    73

    75

    76

    89

    Donnie had paid no attention to their conversation but having tired of his puzzle, picked up the notebook of letters and numbers and began to study it, turning the binder page by page.

    Donnie just grimaced, an acknowledgment that he was paying attention to what was being said, and harbored no desire to see his stepfather.

    91

    Each time Dean put the Byrne disappearance to rest in his mind, another nagging item popped up to renew his attention.

    92

    93

    95

    Evelyn smiled tightly from her position a couple of feet away, her attention riveted to the situation before her.

    96

    Even if not for Rhyn's name scrawled across her neck, she'd draw attention.

    97

    Even now she calls my attention every day to mispronounced words.

    98

    Even so, she didn't know how to pull the armies from the south without drawing Sirian's or Memon's attention.

    99

    Everything looked normal, but she gave the house special attention and approached slowly.

    100

    Far off in the distance, Dean could again hear the ringing of Gladys Turnbull's alarm but he paid it no attention.

    101

    Finally he looked away, shifting his attention to the improvements.

    102

    Finally his attention came back to her face.

    103

    Finally his attention shifted back to Carmen.

    104

    Fitzgerald immediately called everyone's attention to her.

    105

    Focusing her attention on the pan of potatoes, she clamped the lid back on and kept her tone even.

    106

    Following his gaze, she found Rob's attention was riveted on Jenny.

    107

    For a moment she thought he was going to say something to Rob, but his attention returned to the food on his plate.

    108

    For an hour afterward, the celebrating and congratulations diverted their attention from each other.

    109

    For once, she wished she.d paid attention when her sister told her about travel plans.

    110

    For the next hour, his attention was divided between her and Princess.

    111

    Fred prattled on about a mystery where something similar had occurred but Dean paid him no attention as he glanced through the newspaper.

    112

    From the moment she entered the room, she had his full attention.

    113

    Gabriel and Darkyn rose, their attention going west toward the ocean.

    114

    Gabriel's attention was caught on a faint green glow on a table in the middle of the stacks of dead bodies.

    115

    Gerald shifted his attention to Alex.

    116

    Gerald stopped with one hand on the refrigerator door, his attention fixed on the photo.

    117

    Giddon turned his attention to Lisa.

    118

    Giddon was silent, giving all his attention to his food, but Tammy watched Lisa with interest, twirling her fork in her eggs and squirming in her chair.

    119

    Giddon's angry voice recaptured her attention.

    120

    Growing anxious, she turned her attention to the sound of the stream Elise had told her to follow if she didn't make it there by dusk.

    121

    He brought his attention to Sam.

    122

    He brushed the hair off her face and turned his attention to his dessert.

    123

    He caught her attention hoping she would see his concern.

    124

    He felt it awkward to attract everyone's attention and to be considered a lucky man and, with his plain face, to be looked on as a sort of Paris possessed of a Helen.

    125

    He filled one pad and then another as they brought him up to speed, while Mrs. Lincoln nudged his pencil for attention.

    126

    He flew through the air, drawing the attention of nearby demons in midflight.  He saw them shift directions and dart towards him just before he dipped beneath the jungle canopy again.

    127

    He flicked a fingernail against his thumb in response, commanding her complete attention.

    128

    He focused his attention on the coffee in his cup, swirling it while he avoided her probing gaze.

    129

    He forced his attention back to Mr. Reynolds and the others waiting in the relative cool of the screened-in porch.

    130

    He found this entirely entertaining, and only approached her once while patrons were demanding her attention.

    131

    He gave undue attention to the road.

    132

    He glanced around the penthouse decorated in dark colors with flashes of burgundy and brown, attention settling on the familiar skyline visible through the window.

    133

    He glanced at her and then turned his attention back to the can in his hand.

    134

    He glanced at his watch and returned his attention to the mare.

    135

    He hadn't paid much attention to any woman in many, many years, but couldn't help thinking her one of the most attractive he'd ever met.

    136

    He has a quiet humor that goes unnoticed if you're not paying close attention.

    137

    He hit a comfortable pace and stayed there as he peddled past the cemetery and the open meadows where a herd of elk grazed near the river to his left, standing at attention near the edge of the tall cottonwoods that lined the bank.

    138

    He is not, but he is a warrior worthy of her attention in battle.  The Immortals always say, at least they understand Darkyn.

    139

    He knew what she was thinking about? knew and enjoyed the attention.

    140

    He let her take it and saw her attention shift to the bracelet.

    141

    He looked at her, a penetrating stare that made her again regret drawing his attention.

    142

    He looked out for a long moment, pensive, before returning his attention to her.

    143

    He nodded and returned his attention to the steep hill.

    144

    He nodded, not removing his attention from Carmen.

    145

    He nodded; his attention riveted on the highway.

    146

    He now had Shipton's attention.

    147

    He paid no attention and continued to stride down the corridor.

    148

    He paid no heed to the words that were droning on, until a name riveted him to attention.

    149

    He paid particular attention to the March expense accounts and itineraries.

    150

    He patted her leg with another of his friendly smiles and turned his attention to the world racing by them.

    151

    He picked up a newspaper and snapped it open, his attention instantly captured by something he found in its crinkled pages.

    152

    He pushed her hand away and divided his attention between wiping his suit off and coughing.

    153

    He reached under the horse and tightened the cinch, which finally brought Diablo to attention.

    154

    He shifted his attention to her.

    155

    He shifted his attention to the darkness outside the window.

    156

    He shifted his attention to the lighted street.

    157

    He shifted his attention to the old house.

    158

    He shifted his attention to the window and stared out into the moonlit night.

    159

    He shook his head, his attention finally leaving her torso.

    160

    He shook his head, returning his attention to Dusty and Jule.

    161

    He shrugged, returning his attention to the coffee in his cup.

    162

    He shrugged, returning his attention to the food.

    163

    He sliced his wrist, and her attention turned immediately to thick liquid bubbling against his olive skin.

    164

    He spotted Katie & Bill on the second row and waited for an opportunity to catch Katie's attention.

    165

    He took a deep breath and turned his attention to Carmen.

    166

    He turned his attention back to Jackson and held his hands out.

    167

    He turned his attention back to Jackson.

    168

    He turned his attention back to the blood and what he found made his jaw drop.

    169

    He turned his attention back to the preacher, and she felt alone again.

    170

    He turned his attention to Jenn.

    171

    He was a good looking man, and probably expected such attention.

    172

    He was naked from the waist up and sweaty, a combination that made her sit up and pay attention.

    173

    He was only supposed to pay attention to you, not hurt you – he wasn't supposed to go into your house.

    174

    He was probably too busy with school to pay attention to politics.

    175

    He watched as Mansr expertly organized the evacuations and aligned the space battle to keep the Yirkins' attention off the ships fleeing the planet's surface for the nearest moon, Kiera.

    176

    He watched her intently for a few moments longer and then turned his attention to his food.

    177

    He watched the emerald form then placed it in his pocket before returning his attention to the demons.

    178

    He wore nothing but sweatpants, and his exposed upper back drew her attention.

    179

    He'd ask me questions, and pay attention to my answers.

    180

    Her attention jerked back to the house and she threw both hands over her mouth.

    181

    Her attention shifted as the world around her continued to register.

    182

    Her attention shifted back to Yancey.

    183

    Her attention shifted to her hands, and he stared at her as she focused on moving them.

    184

    Her attention shifted to his face.

    185

    Her attention shifted to the hand over his heart.

    186

    Her attention shifted to the nurse behind the counter, who was taking full inventory of Alex.

    187

    Her attention switched to Lisa and she smiled.

    188

    Her attention turned to a different direction, the way they.d come from the beach.

    189

    Her attention was caught on the falling stars of the meteor shower.

    190

    Her attention was diverted a few minutes later when Yancey arrived.

    191

    Her attention was diverted momentarily to the officer who was watching her with concern.

    192

    Her attention was drawn to the little filly.

    193

    Her attention went from his body to his face, and she stepped away.

    194

    Her laughter lashed out in the clear air, seizing his attention.

    195

    Her shout drew their attention, and they started toward her.

    196

    His attention - -traditionally reserved for the army and its battles - -had shifted to her until he monitored everything she did.

    197

    His attention came sharply back to her.

    198

    His attention drifted away briefly in thought.

    199

    His attention fell again to the bloody neck of Darkyn's mate.

    200

    His attention left her for a moment while he reached over and closed the program down without saving.

    201

    His attention left the road long enough to search her face.

    202

    His attention never wavered and Carmen kept her expression bland as she slapped the potatoes on her plate and then returned the spoon to the bowl.

    203

    His attention returned to Deidre.

    204

    His attention returned to Lisa.

    205

    His attention returned to the book, but she could tell he wasn't reading.

    206

    His attention returning to the lap desk, he picked up the pencil as if ready to write something - and then put it down.

    207

    His attention shifted back to the house and he sobered.

    208

    His attention shifted from his thoughts to the scene before him, and he slowed.

    209

    His attention shifted pointedly to the house.

    210

    His attention shifted to Destiny, who was still sleeping.

    211

    His attention shifted to her.

    212

    His attention shifted to his father.

    213

    His attention shifted to the barn again and he glanced up at Carmen.

    214

    His attention shifted to the bear and she followed his gaze.

    215

    His attention swung back to her and the dark eyes brightened as he noted her smile.

    216

    His attention turned to her as she approached him on the porch.

    217

    His attention turned to her.

    218

    His attention turned to the odious favor.

    219

    His attention turned to the purpose for coming inside the house.

    220

    His attention was back on his food.

    221

    His attention was distracted momentarily as the feeding tube was switched to Carmen's other breast.

    222

    His attention was drawn over her head, and his mouth went lax.

    223

    His attention was focused on the food in his plate.

    224

    His attention was immediately drawn to the car outside the window.

    225

    His attention was on a point behind her, and she turned to see a portal waiting.

    226

    His attention was on Andre.

    227

    His attention was on some children playing in the park across the street, so he didn't immediately see her.

    228

    His attention was riveted on her as he altered his course to stop at the table in front of her.

    229

    His connections in Denver would get Ouray the attention it deserved.

    230

    His erratic moods had grown more volatile the past couple of days, and she knew better than to draw his attention.

    231

    His fangs were out, his attention riveted to her.

    232

    His promise pried his attention from her.

    233

    His touch was mechanical and instructional, his attention elsewhere.

    234

    His work held the rapt attention of his audience.

    235

    Home sweet home and I have a playmate awaiting my attention!

    236

    However, as soon as Dean explained his suspicions concerning the bugging of their phone, he captured Fred's full attention.

    237

    I ask for your attention one last time, as a personal favor to me.

    238

    I attracted her attention by showing her my watch and letting her hold it in her hand.

    239

    I called her attention to the following line, and, although she knew only the three words, CAT, EAT and MOUSE, she caught the idea.

    240

    I finally had his attention.

    241

    I had his attention.

    242

    I imagine you got his attention.

    243

    I mean, I didn't pay much attention those times I saw him but it looks like the guy.

    244

    I read all the weekly newspapers and there was no mention of any foul play, but this little ad caught my attention.

    245

    I set both similar to my New Hampshire test but frankly; I didn't pay much attention to precise accuracy.

    246

    I think right now he'd do anything to get the attention of the girls.

    247

    I was ready to close the site from pure frustration when a notice of a recovered body caught my attention, big time.

    248

    I was the logical candidate as both women had children needing attention.

    249

    I'm not sure he was aware the show received such widespread attention.

    250

    I'm sorry I let my attention drift.

    251

    If Alex minded all the attention, he gave no indication.

    252

    If I had paid more attention to her and spent a little less time out on the range, she might be alive today.

    253

    Iliana was a relatively young Immortal who had been at his side for only a few decades, having caught his attention with her fighting skill and fierce loyalty.

    254

    In fact, he must have given the goat a good deal of attention to be able to identify her from the other Toggenburgs.

    255

    In fact, she seemed to enjoy that form of attention.

    256

    In the next instant she realized a doe standing away from the herd had attracted his attention.

    257

    It contained mostly women's magazines and catalogs but one period­ical caught his attention.

    258

    It took him two attempts, but he managed a clumsy mount and sat uneasily in the saddle for a moment before turning his attention to the other two.

    259

    It was difficult for all of us to maintain attention as Howie watched the child sleep.

    260

    It was not Rhyn that drew my attention, Gabriel.

    261

    It wasn't the amount of the check Shipton gave you that caught my attention, it was the ink.

    262

    It would have been humiliating if anyone had noticed, but no one seemed to pay much attention – probably because so many others were also drinking.

    263

    Jackson groaned, "Because she has the attention span of a gnat."

    264

    Jackson scratched his ear and the dog sat, enjoying the attention.

    265

    Jackson turned his attention to Claudia, who stood motionless.

    266

    Jake's stunned tone drew her attention.

    267

    Joan tossed the tablet on a table behind her and turned her attention on Carmen.

    268

    Katie asked, her attention focused on the dish she was rinsing.

    269

    Katie glanced at him questioningly a few times, but he gave his attention to his food.

    270

    Katie stopped fussing with her dress and her full attention riveted on Carmen's face.

    271

    Katie was watching her when Carmen's attention came back to the dishes.

    272

    Kiera blinked and forced herself to pay attention.

    273

    Kiera gasped, drawing Evelyn's attention from the paintings to the door.

    274

    Kiera watched them, somewhat relieved not to be the center of attention any longer.

    275

    Kiki grabbed his arm and yanked to get his attention.

    276

    Kris had assigned her a babysitter and ordered her to spray herself down with the skunk spray so she wouldn.t draw any unwanted attention.

    277

    Kutuzov, affecting the manners of an old soldier at the front, gave the command "Attention!" and rode up to the Emperors with a salute.

    278

    Lana smiled as she turned her attention from the conversation to the screens around her.

    279

    Lana turned her attention to her plate.

    280

    Landon's summons drew his attention.

    281

    Len glanced at Yancey uncertainly and then shifted his attention back to her.

    282

    Lisa glanced at Yancey, who silently divided his attention between Connie and Lisa.

    283

    Lori's voice brought Carmen's attention back to the visitor.

    284

    Lydia just glanced at her blankly and turned her attention to Dean.

    285

    Maybe if she'd paid more attention to the information coming in or been a better analyst … part of her knew there were no indicators she missed.

    286

    Maybe it was the soft accent that held her attention.

    287

    Maybe it was time they started paying more attention to the aesthetic value of things.

    288

    Maybe they weren't paying attention.

    289

    Maybe you're the one who has his attention.

    290

    Meanwhile, the boys could use some attention.

    291

    Molly remained enthralled with the baby and paid no attention to what the rest of us were doing.

    292

    More hushed fighting drew his attention.

    293

    More than two hours passed and Gerasim took the liberty of making a slight noise at the door to attract his attention, but Pierre did not hear him.

    294

    Movement outside the window caught Carmen's attention.

    295

    Moving from the wardrobe to the dresser drew her attention to the carpet again.

    296

    Neither of the men seemed to pay the slightest attention to either Dean or the painters, but one of them seemed to be keeping an eye on the door while the other spoke in low tones to his companion.

    297

    No one now seemed to pay any attention to the strangers, so Dorothy and Zeb and the Wizard let the train pass on and then wandered by themselves into the vegetable gardens.

    298

    Normally he wouldn't mind having the attention of a room full of females, but this was different.

    299

    Normally she would have welcomed the attention, but his expression was not pleased.

    300

    Now and then his attention wandered from the book and the Square and he formed in imagination a new plan of life.

    301

    Obviously, she doesn't think ill of you so don't pay attention to what Ronnie said.

    302

    Of the others, only Pete seemed to be paying any attention to their peril.

    303

    Of these, eleven were abductors of children and garnered special attention by the FBI.

    304

    On the other hand, maybe he would enjoy her company – certainly Rob would and that would take his attention off Jenny.

    305

    Once able to sit upright, the pounding in his head commanded his attention, as well as the bone-numbing chill.

    306

    One day Miss Sullivan attracted my attention to a strange object which she had captured basking in the shallow water.

    307

    One of them snagged her, but his attention shifted at the strangled cry and sound of snapping bones.

    308

    One of them was brighter than the others, as if trying to draw her attention.

    309

    Our inventions are wont to be pretty toys, which distract our attention from serious things.

    310

    Pete's attention was darting from one of them to the other.

    311

    Pierre paid no more attention to this occurrence than to the rest of what went on, having made up his mind once for all that what he saw happening around him that evening was in some way essential.

    312

    Prince Andrew rode up and was just putting his question to a soldier when his attention was diverted by the desperate shrieks of the woman in the vehicle.

    313

    Quinn asked, arresting everyone's attention.

    314

    Returning her attention to Señor Medena, she smiled.

    315

    Rhyn shifted his attention to glower down at his mate.

    316

    Rob shifted his attention to the twins Nat and Matt.

    317

    Sadly, all their attention was for naught.

    318

    Sarah introduced Connor then turned her attention back to the ring.

    319

    Sarah told Jackson she didn't see how she would be able to get Elisabeth's attention long enough to influence her.

    320

    Señor Medena leaned back in his chair, his attention lost in thought.

    321

    Señor Medena was watching Alex thoughtfully, but Alex seemed to be unaware of his attention.

    322

    Señor Medena's attention shifted back and forth between Dulce and Alex, but neither offered any explanation.

    323

    Several people stopped to stare or skirt them as Rhyn padded through, and one startled gasp drew his attention briefly to a stairwell.

    324

    She ate, her attention soon captured by the sensations of the airy omelet and melted cheese in her mouth.

    325

    She blinked as she entered the darker house and forced her attention on her surroundings.

    326

    She blinked, pulling her attention from the heat racing through her body.

    327

    She called my attention to the new arrangement, and when I did not object she seemed pleased and patted herself.

    328

    She considered retreating but suspected that would draw the attention of the men focused on the battle.

    329

    She couldn't respond without drawing the man's attention.

    330

    She crossed to it and pushed it open, her attention falling to the slender blonde slung across Jonny's bed.

    331

    She cursed herself, aware she had accomplished little as far as advancing her rights but managed to draw the guaranteed attention of a man she was not certain she wanted to notice her.

    332

    She fell to the floor and Alex glanced at her, allowing his attention to stray from Josh for a second.

    333

    She felt the attention before she actually saw it.

    334

    She forced her face to remain emotionless, her form still enough not to draw attention, like a wounded animal trying not to distract the hungry predators fighting over it.

    335

    She gave her attention to a glass she was washing.

    336

    She glanced at Alex, but his full attention was on Lori.

    337

    She glanced at Lori, but Lori's attention was on a gray truck coming up the drive.

    338

    She glanced at Yancey, who was giving the forward in the magazine on his lap undue attention.

    339

    She glanced quickly at Bordeaux, who was giving his coffee undue attention.

    340

    She glued her attention on the doe, which was now licking life into her infant.

    341

    She gritted her teeth and forced her attention to the stack of books, jotting down notes on her notepad.

    342

    She had their undivided attention.

    343

    She held her breath, not wanting to draw the attention of either creature.

    344

    She hopped down, oblivious to the attention channeled her way by the red-eyed men around her.

    345

    She kept her attention on the toast.

    346

    She looked at Princess Mary, then sat thinking for a while with that expression of attention to something within her that is only seen in pregnant women, and suddenly began to cry.

    347

    She looked away, trying not to bring his attention to it.

    348

    She looked away; wishing Connie hadn't brought it to her attention.

    349

    She mused through the kitchen cabinets, her attention settling on the can of cocoa.

    350

    She nodded, her attention still focused on her plate.

    351

    She rubbed the lumpy scar on her arm, her attention caught by the sight of a jaguar dropping from a tree branch to the edge of the park and the forest a short distance away.

    352

    She set it to connect with the fed's central computer system just before dawn, hoping to draw attention away from the town of Randolph while giving her a head start.

    353

    She shifted her attention to his mount.

    354

    She shifted her attention to the doctor.

    355

    She shifted her attention to the fire and rubbed the beginnings of a crick from her neck.

    356

    She shifted her attention to the housework.

    357

    She sifted through the pictures, aware of the intent attention the others paid her.

    358

    She sighed, wondering why she was paying attention to a dead-dead Immortal in the first place.

    359

    She stared at him, but his attention was on the mill again.

    360

    She stared up at Bordeaux, whose attention was focused on the rock above them.

    361

    She stopped within full view of Jetr and waited, not wanting to draw the attention of the entire Council to her.

    362

    She took his face in her hands again, forcing his attention on her.

    363

    She tried not to think of Bordeaux, instead focusing her attention on the twins and what she was going to say to her father.

    364

    She tucked it away again, and turned her attention to the future.

    365

    She turned her attention back to Jackson.

    366

    She turned her attention back to Lillie.

    367

    She turned her attention to the twins.

    368

    She was a pretty girl, but not in a way that would attract much attention.

    369

    She was going to break down any second, but the effort the man before her put into preparing himself held her horrified attention.

    370

    She was sitting in a chair beside Katie, watching him with rapt attention.

    371

    She wasn't eager to draw his undivided attention, but his distance struck her as unusual, if not yet another rejection.

    372

    She would like to have so much attention.

    373

    She'd been safe for ten days on her own; maybe hacking into the fed system to change her profile was enough to draw the attention of someone working for General Greene.

    374

    She'd been too flustered to pay attention to the trip to the police station and looked around, not recognizing the area.

    375

    She'd never paid much attention to appliances but imagined they might be intriguing to someone who had never seen them before.

    376

    She'd never seen his attention stay any one place for long, but today, he was actually calm.

    377

    She'd pay more attention to that in the future.

    378

    She'd tried to hide her fangs from him, but smiling brought his attention to them.

    379

    Shifting her attention from the tattooed man, Jenn rested her eyes on the young man, who glanced at her after Dustin spoke.

    380

    So absorbed was she with inner thoughts that the movement didn't immediately catch her attention.

    381

    Sofi's cool power whipped through her thoughts, but it was the darkness within the small woman that drew her attention.

    382

    Sofia drank another glass of water and forced her attention to her list.

    383

    Soft voices drew her attention to the doorway, where she was able to hear but not see Cora behind the massive frame of Gabriel.

    384

    Some medical attention has to beat none.

    385

    Someone obligingly took the dish from Bagration (or he would, it seemed, have held it till evening and have gone in to dinner with it) and drew his attention to the verses.

    386

    Something blue in the shadow of the trees caught her attention.

    387

    Something drew her attention to Jonathan, who was watching Alex intently.

    388

    Still holding Jackson's hand, she brought her attention to his palm.

    389

    Still, she said, returning her attention to the old house.

    390

    Sure, he had stepped over the line, but hadn't she invited him by encouraging his attention?

    391

    Taran bit his tongue, wishing he'd paid more attention to his words and less to the memories.

    392

    Taran's attention snapped to the man, and he withdrew the bow at this back.

    393

    Taran's attention swept to the walls behind him, and he felt a pang of yearning and regret.

    394

    Tears continued to flow as her attention shifted back to Matthew.

    395

    That and the fact that Howard had paid no attention to her while she was choking.

    396

    That garnered a lot of attention.

    397

    That got their attention.

    398

    The air felt a little heavier around her as he spoke, compelling her attention to him.

    399

    The air was heavy and her attention was drawn to the life-like statues.

    400

    The attention had shifted from Lori to Alex, and Carmen was sure things were going according to plan.

    401

    The attention shifted back where it belonged and stayed there for the rest of the dinner.

    402

    The cafeteria was four times the size of the one she was used to, and she lingered in the doorway, finally catching the attention of a convent member.

    403

    The carved headboard was beautiful but it was the lace canopy and matching bedspread that caught and held her attention.

    404

    The child slowed as he neared the jaguar and turned, finally paying attention.

    405

    The dangerous note in his voice drew Kris.s attention.

    406

    The desperation in her voice drew his attention.

    407

    The distant roar of water pouring into the canyon caught her attention.

    408

    The doorbell demanded his attention and he answered the door to find a tall young man standing in the hallway.

    409

    The drum of hooves jerked her attention back to the barn.

    410

    The first two weeks of June were a never-ending list of chores and activities jammed full with last minute preparations, one workplace crisis following another, and an annoying series of details that demanded Dean's attention.

    411

    The flash of her reflection in the mirror caught her attention.

    412

    The flash of metal drew her attention, and she raised her eyes as he trailed the dagger down his forearm.

    413

    The forest was soon filled with the sound of pursuers.  Katie needed no further encouragement.  She pulled her arm free and ran behind Gabriel as he kept to the invisible path.  A shadow caught her attention.  She glanced over and froze, tripping.

    414

    The greatest attention of all to Boris' narrative was shown by Helene.

    415

    The inn, not large by city standards, was constantly in need of attention, especially in this, the short but hectic high season.

    416

    The John Wayne look-alike with the big belly was in charge and held up his hand for attention.

    417

    The large woman had Dean's attention.

    418

    The low growl drew her attention behind her, where the red-eyed man materialized beside Damian.

    419

    The man at the center of attention ceased screaming and lowered his head, panting.

    420

    The man seemed to consider, aware of the small crowd whose attention was drawn to the group.

    421

    The movement caught Giddon's attention and he glanced from Tammy to Lisa with a puzzled expression.

    422

    The only bait he could find was a bright red blossom from a flower; but he knew fishes are easy to fool if anything bright attracts their attention, so he decided to try the blossom.

    423

    The other couples could not attract a moment's attention to their own evolutions and did not even try to do so.

    424

    The physical ramifications of not feeding for over thirty hours commanded attention.

    425

    The rabbits were always last to get attention, since they almost always had some food and water.

    426

    The room was dark, the floor-to-ceiling windows displaying the incredible views of the Eiffel Tower, whose frame was outlined by lights against the dark Parisian sky She was about to step onto the balcony when a knock at the door drew her attention.

    427

    The sound of a key scraping against the door drew Jenn's attention outward again, and she moved to the side of the door, flattening her back against it.

    428

    The sound of footsteps running down the hall drew her attention, and she flung herself backwards as the maid with the butcher knife tried to cut her.

    429

    The sound of squishing drew her attention to the bath mat next to the tub.

    430

    The sound of the body dropping drew the attention of the other two.

    431

    The sound of tires crunching on gravel brought her attention back to the drive.

    432

    The stark red of blood against white snow caught his attention, and he circled the park behind the castle.

    433

    The statement caught Burgess's attention.

    434

    The story of the inefficiencies of the Parkside Police caught his attention.

    435

    The sudden change in her expression from open to shuttered drew his attention.

    436

    The swirl of gowns of dancing couples drew her attention to the ballroom with the orchestra.

    437

    The sword implanted next to the downed man's ear, and her small gasp drew the attention of the observers.

    438

    The thrones caught her attention, and she crossed to them.

    439

    The Watcher drew her attention as he bent.

    440

    The way he described her, I don't think she paid much attention to the mundane things in life.

    441

    The way he dressed and acted indicated he was used to feminine attention.

    442

    The young college-aged waitress inserted the tack, placed a quarter beneath it for weight and sounded a horn to call attention.

    443

    Then a name caught his attention.

    444

    Then again, as little attention as she paid him, maybe he was going feral.

    445

    Then again, many people would enjoy the attention.

    446

    Then he turned his attention to Sarah.

    447

    There was a light step behind her, and then Allen's eyes widened as his attention shifted to a point behind her.

    448

    There were too many lengthy phone calls to Massachusetts and minimal attention to our other life.

    449

    They both snapped to attention at his order.

    450

    They continued, and Deidre's attention went to a small shop behind the tents, from which incense drifted.

    451

    They led onto a balcony, but it was the eerie green glow beyond that caught her attention.

    452

    They reached the food section, and Deidre's attention shifted to the source of the scents.

    453

    They stepped into the cooler house, and her attention was caught by Talal, who froze in mid-stride along her path toward the northern wing.

    454

    They were too busy arguing to pay attention but Dean shielded Martha and hurried the group back to the rear quarters.

    455

    This caught her attention, and she turned.

    456

    This drew the deity's attention.

    457

    This time, she paid no attention to the shale or placing her feet right.

    458

    Thus far, he'd listened to her, and she hoped he feared Damian enough to continue paying attention.

    459

    Tim squealed, bringing Carmen's attention back to the boys.

    460

    Told him if he wanted to get my attention, just whack me on the arm.

    461

    Turning her attention to the hills, she saw a single trail leading up into the rocks.

    462

    Turning her attention to the rain-soaked landscape in front of them, she gasped.

    463

    Unless you smoke, you don't pay attention to cigarettes.

    464

    Upon them the undivided, tensely passionate attention of that whole mass of men was concentrated.

    465

    Vanoli's Gold Belt Theater was the place that got the most attention, but he owned The Roma that Annie mentions, plus saloons up in Red Mountain and I guess other places.

    466

    Victor turned his attention to Jackson, recrimination dripping from his voice.

    467

    Wanna visit the sector? he asked, turning his attention to Dusty.

    468

    Was he hinting that she should give more attention to the exterior of the house?

    469

    Was he really worth her attention on what may be the last day of her life?

    470

    We can't do more than that, though, without drawing the attention of the feds, the soldier told her quietly.

    471

    We cannot call attention to ourselves until our numbers warrant our attack.

    472

    We were busy cutting out paper dolls; but we soon wearied of this amusement, and after cutting up our shoestrings and clipping all the leaves off the honeysuckle that were within reach, I turned my attention to Martha's corkscrews.

    473

    We're happy to see the attention directed elsewhere.

    474

    What if the farmer could give every stalk of corn individual attention and water and fertilize each one exactly when it was needed?

    475

    When Felipa came through the back door, Aaron fixed his attention on her.

    476

    When her attention came back to Alex, he was watching Jonathan.

    477

    When his gaze returned to hers, she was smiling – enjoying the attention.

    478

    When men were killed or wounded, when rows of stretchers went past, when some troops retreated, and when great masses of the enemy came into view through the smoke, no one paid any attention to these things.

    479

    When she had his undivided attention, she continued.

    480

    When she lifted her head, a figure in the doorway caught her attention.

    481

    When they entered the living room, Lori's full attention riveted on Destiny.

    482

    When we entered the room, the children's attention was riveted on Helen.

    483

    When Westlake obligingly opened a map and pointed out various high country locations, he had the Dawkins' rapt attention.

    484

    When Yancey's attention diverted to his mother, she simply shrugged.

    485

    While I knew we were helpless to do anything positive in Howie's absence, I never-the-less opened the site where Betsy located cases for our attention.

    486

    While we'd both been witness scores of times, neither of us had paid much attention.

    487

    Why don't you turn your attention back to Lucy there?

    488

    Why should she care – and what did he have to gain by all this attention?

    489

    Wings, short fur, fangs the size of her forearm … she moved farther into the bathroom, lest she draw his attention.

    490

    With Alex gone all day, she turned her attention to deep cleaning the house.

    491

    With her arm bleeding, she couldn.t risk drawing the attention of the Immortals by taking the front stairwell even to meet her sister.

    492

    With her attention locked on Claire, I had time to fill in both women with what I'd learned.

    493

    With her body no longer active and demanding attention, her mind was free to wonder.

    494

    Without comment, he shifted his attention back to his plate.

    495

    Xander's attention was caught first by Darian.

    496

    Yancey finally returned his attention to Lisa.

    497

    You must find them before they - " "Rhyn," Gabriel's ragged voice drew his attention.

    498

    You never pay any attention to anything I tell you to do, so what would be the point?

    499

    Your magic gifts have blossomed, and they've attracted the attention of others with magic gifts.

    500

    Zamon nodded once, attention on the book.
