    If not for the nightmares, she'd carry him back to his bed, whether or not he liked it, but she found some comfort in having the angel so close.

    250

    If Shipton was far enough over the edge, close enough to the bottom and the river to survive the fall, how could he see you hacking away at his rope?

    251

    If you get close enough, sooner or later someone gets careless.

    252

    If you please, could not guards be placed if only to let us close the shop....

    253

    In her haste to be close to him, she'd planted a shoulder in his injured chest.

    254

    In the hallway they knelt close to the wall and he sheltered her in his arms.

    255

    Instead of putting an arm around her waist and drawing her close, he turned away from her.

    256

    Is that close to what I said?

    257

    It all appeared innocent until her feet touched the ground, and then he pulled her close, wrapping his arms around her as his lips sought hers hungrily.

    258

    It had started to close.

    259

    It makes me feel really close to her.

    260

    It must be nice having your land so close to the park.

    261

    It took fifty minutes before the door burst open and Howie dashed out and up the stairs with Martha close on his heels.

    262

    It was dark there beside the truck, and for a moment he simply held her close.

    263

    It was getting close to feeding time.

    264

    It was getting close to noon when Carmen finished weeding in her garden.

    265

    It was hard to believe a village could be this close and they didn't know it was there.

    266

    It was impossible for Dean to get close enough to Billy to question him.

    267

    It was not a stretch, not with his muscular body pressed against her and his rugged features so close.

    268

    It was the first occasion the dream took place close to the present time; less than four years ago!

    269

    It wasn't coming out the way she practiced it, maybe because Gabriel was sitting close enough that she wanted to lean against him instead of the bed and place his large hands on the parts of her body hidden by clothes.

    270

    It's in the newspapers and magazines but no one but only I with my brilliance have come close to finding the secret!

    271

    Jackson drew Elisabeth close, burying his nose in her hair.

    272

    Jackson held back far enough so Connor would not see him, yet close enough to get into the room in a hurry.

    273

    Jackson held her close.

    274

    Jackson leaned close to her.

    275

    Jackson pulled her close.

    276

    Jackson slid both arms around her from behind and pulled her close.

    277

    Jackson stood close enough to hear both sides of the conversation.

    278

    Jackson stood close enough to hear the conversation, and as soon as the moron committed to buy a watercolor; he approached Elisabeth, put his arms around her and said, Darling, the caterer needs to see you for a minute.

    279

    Jenn heard Jonny's door close, and the sound woke her from her light sleep.

    280

    Jonathan Winston never flinched and his smile remained in place as he moved very close to Vinnie, nearly touching him.

    281

    Jonny looked at the massive vamp, who made no move to close the distance between them.

    282

    Josh was silent until they heard the front door close.

    283

    Jule obliged quickly, unwilling to keep the vamp close to his brothers' mates longer than necessary.

    284

    Just spray any Immortal that gets too close.

    285

    Katie angled herself towards the voice once again.  The woman was close.  She continued and then stopped suddenly, nearly tripping over the small form in her path.

    286

    Katie was close.  Toby could sense her.  He ignored the branches whipping his face and the brambles tripping him.  Instead, he just ran, the screams of demons in his ears.

    287

    Kin stood right behind her, way too close for her comfort.

    288

    Kris had come close to breaking the Immortal rules or his own oaths to his father.

    289

    Kris watched the door to the guest bedchamber close, unusually hopeful about his discovery.

    290

    Lana looked over her shoulder at an explosion that seemed far too close.

    291

    Leaning his head close, he whispered into Carmen's ear.

    292

    Let's look at the facts, make a decision and close the case.

    293

    Let's say I'm passing on information but I'm close enough to vouch for its accuracy.

    294

    Liz plopped a straw hat with a red, white, and blue band on Dean's head just as three jets in close formation screamed overhead, buzzing the town in a deafening roar.

    295

    Maybe he was getting nervous because he had been this close to getting married once before and she simply didn't show up for the wedding.

    296

    Meeting the Dark One so close to the fortress, then, was not an option.

    297

    Mercifully, he said nothing, only stood close to her and stared into the same sky.

    298

    Might he be nearly as close to us as Owen Bryce had been?

    299

    Molly looked close to tears when she returned and handed me the instrument.

    300

    Molly moved close to her and put her arm about her waist.

    301

    Most of the lodgers were about their daily activities, with Fred off to the post office, Maria doing her duties with her usual exuberance, and the Deans hovering close by.

    302

    Most women were too intimidated to go near him, let alone get close enough to throw their arms around him.

    303

    Moving troops in close proximity to an enemy is always dangerous, and military history supports that view.

    304

    My mind wasn't close to understanding the ramifications.

    305

    My wife and I had promised each other to remain constantly in phone contact after the close calls in New Hampshire.

    306

    My wife began to cry and snuggled close to me.

    307

    My wife leaned close and kissed me.

    308

    Nauseous from panic, I elbowed my way close enough to see a female figure, her face covered with an oxygen mask.

    309

    Near frenzied, Deidre fought to pull some part of him close enough for her to taste.

    310

    Neighbors are quite close by.

    311

    No one came close.

    312

    No one has ever come this close to catching me!

    313

    No, but Vermont is a small state so everything is relatively close.

    314

    Nobody as close as Martha said she was would think it was real.

    315

    None came close to the successful track record of those tips identified as coming from the notorious Psychic Tipster.

    316

    Not as severe as traveling through the shadow world, but close.

    317

    Not even close to the same description.

    318

    Not far from the mill there was an old house, with many trees growing close to it.

    319

    Now in 1812, to anyone living in close touch with these people it was apparent that these undercurrents were acting strongly and nearing an eruption.

    320

    Now that he had opened the conversation, she was ready to close it.

    321

    Now they drew close to the fox which began to dodge between the field in sharper and sharper curves, trailing its brush, when suddenly a strange white borzoi dashed in followed by a black one, and everything was in confusion; the borzois formed a star-shaped figure, scarcely swaying their bodies and with tails turned away from the center of the group.

    322

    One evening, close to suppertime, Lisa, Tammy and Sarah were lounging around the pool.

    323

    One flip of the switch and she retraced her steps, quietly slipping under the covers to snuggle close to Alex again.

    324

    One look at Dean told her she was getting close to home.

    325

    One minute he'd be drinking in the beauty of the countryside and the next feeling a wave of anxiety, realizing what had begun as a mild suspicion was close to culminating in a face-to-face confrontation with Jeffrey Byrne.

    326

    Only if you don't get any ideas and I can close my eyes when someone starts to slip.

    327

    Only then did she woodenly move forward to the bedroom and close the door.

    328

    Open it at sixteen hundred today and close it at seventeen twenty.

    329

    Others joined those men and stopped and told how cannon balls had fallen on a house close to them.

    330

    Perhaps he feared getting close to her if she was going to die in a few months, seeing as how past-Deidre crushed his heart, too.

    331

    Perhaps I was being unfair but everything we'd been able to do was close to ending with a sad whimper, due to the greed of this woman.

    332

    Please close your robe.

    333

    Previously, he'd carefully planned his abductions and never came close to getting caught.

    334

    Prince Hippolyte stood close to the pretty, pregnant princess, and stared fixedly at her through his eyeglass.

    335

    Princess Mary lowered her eyes and, tripping over her skirt, came close up to them.

    336

    Pushing the cabinet closed, she jumped to find the stranger so close.

    337

    Quinn bent close to his wife and whispered something in her ear.

    338

    Reaching her side, he squatted close to her, his head almost level with hers.

    339

    Rhyn knelt on one side of Jade, close enough to reach him when warranted.

    340

    Rostov, smoking his pipe and turning his head about as the water trickled down his neck, listened inattentively, with an occasional glance at Ilyin, who was pressing close to him.

    341

    Scranton is close to where he grabbed the dough.

    342

    Selyn crowded her, almost tripping them both by how close she was.

    343

    She commiserated with the brown-tinged blossoms left behind by other customers who didn't want to be so close to death.

    344

    She couldn't think straight when he was close and not at all when he touched her.

    345

    She crossed her arms and walked towards him, stopping close enough for him to reach her, if he wanted to.

    346

    She crossed her arms, close to panicking.

    347

    She crossed her arms, too aware of how close to the bed she stood.

    348

    She crossed more boldly this time, terrified of seeing the doorway close behind her before she'd made it through another one.

    349

    She didn't hear him approach, but he sounded close.

    350

    She didn't open her eyes or release her breath until she heard the door close behind him.

    351

    She doesn't realize her time on this earth is ebbing to a close, perhaps only minutes from now after she answers my questions.

    352

    She gently removed his hand from her waist and stepped away from him, repeating the statement in a voice close to a shout.

    353

    She ghosted up beside him, standing close enough to catch a whiff of his cologne.

    354

    She giggled and cuddled the cat close.

    355

    She grabbed her purse and followed him to the truck, leaping in quickly so he could close the door and get around to his side.

    356

    She grabbed his shirt and pulled him close.

    357

    She gripped his arms and pressed close to him, her warm lips seeking his.

    358

    She heard the door to the bedroom close and retreated from the chilly spring air back into her room.

    359

    She jerked the kitchen door open, not realizing he was close until she heard his voice behind her.

    360

    She leaned against him and he held her close.

    361

    She motioned for Pierre to close the door so she could clean up.

    362

    She moved close to the bars and sat, never losing his gaze, then tilted her head and let out a soft whimper.

    363

    She must have lived close to the stables but there's no telling where she worked.

    364

    She named a salary figure close to the small amount Dean drew from the Parkside Police Department.

    365

    She pivoted and entered the room, taking baby steps and leaving him to close the door behind her.

    366

    She put her arms around his waist and drew in close.

    367

    She rose and approached, resting back on her heels in front of him, close enough for him to smell her musk and feel her heat.

    368

    She sat close and beamed.

    369

    She sat next to him, a little too close.

    370

    She screamed and darted for the door, but he caught her and pulled her close again.

    371

    She set the alarm and fluffed the pillows, but it did no good to close her eyes.

    372

    She shivered, unaware just how close she'd been to dying by his hands.

    373

    She slid over, cuddling close to him, her head on his pillow.

    374

    She snatched the lighter on the mantle and ran to the door, standing close until the alcohol lit and spread.

    375

    She snuggled close to him and his lips found hers again.

    376

    She snuggled close to him, her heart racing.

    377

    She snuggled close to him.

    378

    She snuggled close, her ear close enough to hear.

    379

    She snuggled close, letting his body draw warmth from hers.

    380

    She squealed and he lowered her feet to the ground, gently pulling her close.

    381

    She squirmed, unwilling to be defenseless with the tarantulas so close and uneasy with the warm energy flowing again between them.

    382

    She stepped in between them again, distracting Alex to the point that Josh came close to hitting him.

    383

    She stepped through the gate and closed it, looking around again to make sure the buffalo were not close.

    384

    She stopped a dozen meters before the edge of the forest, wondering if there was any sort of hazard in being so close to whatever it was causing the lake to be green in the first place.

    385

    She thought she heard the door to their bedroom close and glanced back.

    386

    She turned, expecting to see another shadow disappear.  Instead, someone stood before her, close enough to touch her.

    387

    She waited until she was certain he was distracted before she crept across the apartment, keeping as close to the wall farthest from him as possible.

    388

    She was about as close to her parents as any child I've ever seen.

    389

    She was close to completing training to become a physical therapist and would graduate at the end of the summer.

    390

    She was close to realizing a lifetime goal.

    391

    She was followed by Petya who always kept close to her, by Michael, a huntsman, and by a groom appointed to look after her.

    392

    She was so close to achieving her goal.

    393

    She was too close to her due date to be running around in the hills.

    394

    She watched, unnerved at how close the battles were.

    395

    She wrapped her arms around him, and he pulled her close.

    396

    She.d cracked the door to her heart for Rhyn to shove his foot in the door and now needed to close, lock, and deadbolt it closed again.

    397

    She'd been too tired and cold to remember just how close to home she was.

    398

    She'd never been so close to a man.

    399

    Silently agreeing, Wynn released the breath he held only after he heard the door close behind Darkyn.

    400

    Sliding an arm across the back of Carmen's chair, he leaned close, speaking softly in her ear.

    401

    Snuggling close, she lifted her face to accept his kiss.

    402

    Some domestic serfs Pierre met, in reply to inquiries as to where the prince lived, pointed out a small newly built lodge close to the pond.

    403

    Some people lived their entire lives without ever being close to anyone.

    404

    Someone was building a log house so close that they could overlook her farm.

    405

    Sorry. New client brought in a dump truck full of receipts and needs his return done by close of business today.

    406

    Stepping onto the ledge outside, Lana heard the sounds of gun and laser fire too close for her comfort, along with the beat of helicopters in the dark skies.

    407

    Suddenly he heard musket fire quite close in front of him and behind our troops, where he could never have expected the enemy to be.

    408

    Tall and lean, with eyes as black as Gabriel's, the man who stood too close for her comfort wore normal enough clothing, aside from the knives strapped to his thighs.

    409

    Tenderly, he gripped her shoulders, pulling her close.

    410

    That night they slept under the stars - Bordeaux a respectable distance from her, but close enough to assist if anything went wrong in the night.

    411

    That was a close call.

    412

    That was as close to praise as she was likely to get from him and she smiled her appreciation.

    413

    The arms that rescued her continued to cradle her gently, and what the fall had failed to do to her heart beat, his close proximity completed.

    414

    The beast was very close to him now.

    415

    The car was never close enough for him to see the occupant.

    416

    The comms have gone up and down, depending on how close we are to the nuked areas.

    417

    The craft above him opened its door and lowered itself as close as it dared to the ground.

    418

    The crowd unexpectedly found itself so close to the Emperors that Rostov, standing in the front row, was afraid he might be recognized.

    419

    The Dark One likes to control those close to him.

    420

    The desire to kiss her gripped him, but he had already begun to fall apart, so instead pulled her in close.

    421

    The dragoons were now close at hand.

    422

    The fact that you didn't close the door and walk away the moment you saw me.

    423

    The faint, sweet scent was close.

    424

    The foremost Frenchman, the one with the hooked nose, was already so close that the expression of his face could be seen.

    425

    The girl was close enough behind him to smell the dankness of his tangled locks.

    426

    The goats were staying close to the house today.

    427

    The highway department would periodically close the road and, using explosive devices, create slides in a controlled condition, lessening the chance for a surprising and perhaps deadly run loosed by nature on the unsuspecting below.

    428

    The home is in town with neighbors close by but the high wooden fence in the back yard allows privacy sufficient to cover my night time visit.

    429

    The impact was close enough to deafen her to everything but her own breathing.

    430

    The light was extinguished and Dean heard the door close to silence.

    431

    The past few months, I've come close to breaking it hundreds of times to keep the underworld from shutting down.

    432

    The place where Katie touched him in his dream stung.  Rhyn moved out of the drizzle, close to the fire, and peeled off his shirt.  There was a welt resembling a bee sting where she'd touched him.

    433

    The restaurant was close by, so the ride there consisted of small talk about the weather, when peak foliage would be, and how much they both loved New England.

    434

    The result tended to show it was relatively close by.

    435

    The sense that had told her where he was intensified within her, as if they were close enough for their souls to touch again.

    436

    The state boys figure I'm too close to you to be what somebody calls 'objective'.

    437

    The suspended cord brushed his shoulder and he could close his eyes and still see the protruding tongue, the open, frightened eyes, a body stiff and absent of life.

    438

    The twins would be close, and that was something good that came of his return.

    439

    The two of you seem quite close.

    440

    The whole French army, and even Napoleon himself with his staff, were not on the far side of the streams and hollows of Sokolnitz and Schlappanitz beyond which we intended to take up our position and begin the action, but were on this side, so close to our own forces that Napoleon with the naked eye could distinguish a mounted man from one on foot.

    441

    The whole thing didn't take more than an hour, and she delivered a baby weighing close to seventy-five pounds.

    442

    The women once again remained close by.

    443

    The young boy snuggled close to his father.

    444

    Their relationship was now so close that she considered his father blood relation.

    445

    Then he heard the door close with a bang and Dean was alone with his thoughts and unanswered questions.

    446

    There are a lot of swamps in Arkansas, so just stick as close to the roads as you can.

    447

    There are no close relatives so she's going to handle the arrangements.

    448

    There wasn't even a close match.

    449

    These guys are that close.

    450

    These men pressed close to the wall to let Pierre and Anna Mikhaylovna pass and did not evince the least surprise at seeing them there.

    451

    These people were as close to family as she would ever have.

    452

    They climbed the dune and kneeled close to the top.

    453

    They decided against it, cautious about frightening off Byrne if he should get wind of the search and realize someone was this close to finding him.

    454

    They found the bull close to the spring, dead and partially consumed, his horns still entangled in brush.

    455

    They had compared Martha's drawing to the contour maps of the area back at Bird Song and decided this was as close to the general area of the mine that any type of roadway touched.

    456

    They had not seen her since their wedding but Cynthia spoke to her by telephone frequently and the two were as close as the distance allowed.

    457

    They parked close to the building and, leaving the engine running, Dean made a dash for the office.

    458

    They were close to her condo; she drove the massive Sky Bridge every day to get to work.

    459

    They were close to wrapping up the session when deputy Lydia Larkin moved quietly into the room.

    460

    They were silent for a few moments before he asked, "If you were that close to where Shipton fell, you must have seen Edith."

    461

    They weren't safe together, especially since the powerful connection between them was driving her body crazy just sitting so close.

    462

    Things were always a mite close.

    463

    Try as I might, I couldn't fix the time or the location anywhere close to the present where we wanted to be.

    464

    Two posted guard outside while two more rigged the repaired door to open and close.

    465

    Unable to sleep without knowing the truth, Toby huddled beneath the jungle leaves and stretched his senses until he found Katie.  He couldn't put her in more danger, if there was something wrong with Ully.  She was close enough for him to find when he needed to.  If he kept some distance between him and Katie, he could figure out what was wrong with Ully without endangering her more.

    466

    Upon seeing Elisabeth sound asleep, she leaned close.

    467

    Vaguely she heard Cade close his book and cross the room.

    468

    Vinnie sounded close to tears as he coughed on another of Ethel's cigarette butts.

    469

    Wait. How did she morph into a wolf, it's not even close to a full moon?

    470

    Was it because all the stupid clones out there who read this trash lack the brains to come close to finding her?

    471

    We didn't let on to this guy, Jude Bryce, about the tip but he was a close neighbor and the parents suspected he might be involved so he was in our radar.

    472

    We have a pretty close time frame of entrance and exit.

    473

    We still have more tests we could run but up to twenty four to forty eight hours; I'm pretty close on both time and location.

    474

    We used to be so close.

    475

    We were content to allow him this small title of uniqueness knowing it was killing him to be so close to a scientific miracle with hands tied and mouth gagged against announcing his findings to the world.

    476

    We're about ready to close our end of the case unless you've found something that looks fishy.

    477

    We've all been keeping our noses too close to the grindstone.

    478

    Well, Dan, it's good for you to know I can put you close to death.

    479

    What if I was close by, so you could get to me easily?

    480

    What she saw today was proof that she needed it close by.

    481

    When Deidre was close enough, Gabriel stretched out and gripped the rope looped under her shoulders.

    482

    When he was close enough, Darkyn addressed him.

    483

    When her arms surrounded his neck, he pulled her close and kissed her softly on the mouth.

    484

    When his hands found her waist and drew her close, passion came without warning, completely consuming her body and soul.

    485

    When returning from his leave, Rostov felt, for the first time, how close was the bond that united him to Denisov and the whole regiment.

    486

    When she decided Yancey wasn't around, she started down the path, keeping close to the trees without breaking her promise not to wander in the woods.

    487

    When you and the old man began getting close, we stepped in.
