Closed in A Sentence

    1

    A breeze made her curtains flutter, and she closed it, certain Claire's cries of ecstasy would soon fill the air around the mansion.

    2

    A footman wanted to come in to clear away something in the room but she would not let him, and having closed the door behind him continued her walk.

    3

    A midmorning breeze drifted through the windows to her right, and she closed her eyes.

    4

    A quiet investigation revealed all upstairs doors closed and the sound of snoring from the Dame Turnbull's room.

    5

    A slow waltz began playing and she closed her eyes, imagining the bright sunlight and flowers bursting from swollen buds.

    6

    A small door—possibly leading to a bathroom or closet—was closed and blocked by one of Ully.s science toys the size of a copy machine.

    7

    A'Ran closed the connection and checked the evacuation progress.

    8

    Alex handed her the basket of eggs and closed the coop door.

    9

    Alex walked in and closed the door to the other bedroom.

    10

    Alex waved Katie through and closed the gate.

    11

    Alex whisked them into the car, making sure their doors were securely closed before he slipped into the driver's seat.

    12

    Apparently, the portal isn't closed from Hell.

    13

    As he closed the door, Elisabeth asked, "Are you going to let me drive all those?"

    14

    As he watched, spellbound, she revolved toward him, but he quickly closed his eyes lest he look upon her once beautiful face.

    15

    As he watched, spellbound, she slowly revolved toward him, but he closed his eyes lest he see her face.

    16

    As her fingers closed around the doorknob, Alex brought her up short.

    17

    As Ryland closed his door, the Quincy sisters came out of the parlor and began climbing the stairs—Effie with a cheery 'good night Mr. and Mrs. Dean,' and Claire with tight-lipped silence.

    18

    As soon as the couple joined Fred behind the closed door of their office-sitting room, Dean explained the identity of their new guest.

    19

    Before the door could open more than an inch, a large honey-hued hand planted on it and pushed it closed.

    20

    Bianca closed the door behind her then tried to open it again.

    21

    Bianca held her breath and waited, able to feel the tension between them even with her eyes closed until he spoke again.

    22

    Bianca waited until she heard the door click closed and looked across the small bay to make sure her daddy still slept.

    23

    Blinded by sunlight and blue sky, she closed her eyes.

    24

    Brady closed the door behind him, watching.

    25

    Brady complied and closed the connection.

    26

    Brady had closed his channel.

    27

    Brady joined her and pulled the door closed behind them.

    28

    Brady's eyes closed, and Lana touched his face, terrified of the blood and his paling skin.

    29

    Breathing deeply, she closed her eyes as the pilot maneuvered the aircraft sideways, up and down.

    30

    Breathless, Dusty closed his eyes and leaned against the punching bag, unable to shake his first memories of Damian or his last memories of his sister, Trinka.

    31

    But I don't consider this matter to be closed.

    32

    But if they thought she and Bordeaux were engaged, the matter would be closed.

    33

    By 1913, the post office was closed and the town had dwindled to two dozen remaining souls, and before long, it was left to indigenous wildlife and the spirits of a boisterous past.

    34

    Carmen closed the barn door and propped it shut with a board.

    35

    Carmen closed the gate and sloshed back to the barn.

    36

    Carmen waited until he closed the car door.

    37

    Crawling into bed, she glanced at the closed door.

    38

    Cupped in his hand was a tiny black kitten, its eyes still closed.

    39

    Cynthia closed her eyes.

    40

    Cynthia leaned back against the seat and closed her eyes while Brandon Westlake acted as if he were taking a Sunday afternoon ride in the park.

    41

    Cynthia leaned her head back, closed her eyes and drank in the scene.

    42

    Cynthia tilted back her head and closed her eyes.

    43

    Damian closed his eyes and opened them, materializing in his suite in Tucson.

    44

    Damian closed his eyes in pain, unable to shake his brother's black history.

    45

    Damian closed his eyes to the heat and light, tormented by his brother's death and his own cowardice.

    46

    Damian closed his eyes.

    47

    Damian returned his interest to the displays, and Han closed the door softly.

    48

    Damian turned down the stereo blasting trance music and faced her, crossing his arms as she closed the door.

    49

    Darian closed his eyes and slowed his breathing, not yet able to channel his newfound magic.

    50

    Darkyn's arm slid around her when the portal closed behind Gabriel.

    51

    Dean closed his eyes and bowed his head on his arm.

    52

    Dean closed his eyes and said to himself, "Vinnie, you wouldn't...."

    53

    Dean closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

    54

    Dean closed his eyes and tried to think.

    55

    Dean closed his eyes as Randy explained excitedly about an offer to play ball.

    56

    Dean closed his eyes in despair.

    57

    Dean closed his eyes in frustration.

    58

    Dean followed on the run, passing him and reaching the door that was already closed.

    59

    Dean gave him the list but informed him the case was closed.

    60

    Dean picked up the pace and closed the gap on the yellow­shirted rider, low on his bike to minimize the wind resistance as he raced downward at a dangerous speed.

    61

    Dean, unable to concentrate further on his files, pushed closed his desk drawer, packed a tape recorder in his briefcase, and left the office.

    62

    Death closed the book and looked up at him.

    63

    Death held out her closed hand to Rhyn.  He crept forward warily and extended his.  She dropped a small green gem into it.

    64

    Deidre closed her eyes and rested against him, trying to imagine what the last days of her life would be like.

    65

    Deidre closed her eyes as Darkyn's arm snaked out to grab her neck.

    66

    Deidre closed her eyes, hating that she was turned on by the thought of him feeding from her.

    67

    Deidre closed her eyes, unable to fathom some stupid demon had hurt her.

    68

    Deidre closed the door behind her and walked down the hallway.

    69

    Deidre closed the door to her room and leaned against it, struggling to make sense of everything.

    70

    Deidre closed the door, near tears once more.

    71

    Deidre closed the file, chewing her lip.

    72

    Deidre crossed to the bathroom and closed the door behind her.

    73

    Deidre opened her door to him and closed it behind him.

    74

    Deidre opened the door into the familiar chamber and closed it behind her, leaning against it.

    75

    Deidre squeezed her eyes closed, not wanting to see Darkyn response and afraid his anger might be directed at her.

    76

    Deidre sucked in a breath and held it, squeezing her eyes closed.

    77

    Deidre turned around to find the hole between places had closed already.

    78

    Deidre waited until the portal closed then bolted out of the gardens.

    79

    Determined to enjoy her first relaxing experience in a few weeks, she watched to make sure the door closed behind him and went to the locker room.

    80

    Disoriented, she kept her eyes closed as she savored the kiss.

    81

    Doing research, mostly on-line with my computer and the library for a while, but it's closed until Monday.

    82

    Driving was out of the question as the mid-morning parade, scheduled to begin in a few minutes, was forming on Main Street, which was now closed to traffic.

    83

    Dusty closed his eyes to Travel and opened them, arriving to his favorite room in HQ, the war room.

    84

    Dusty closed his eyes, the soft sound of the TV greeting him before he opened them.

    85

    Dusty gave a curt nod and closed his eyes.

    86

    Edith closed her eyes as tears seeped down her cheeks but she wouldn't answer.

    87

    Effie stood in the middle of the room, as if enthralled and after all the smiles and appropriate handshakes, took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

    88

    Elisabeth closed her eyes in dismay.

    89

    Elisabeth had closed her eyes, ready for a tirade.

    90

    Even something as small as a closed door made her instincts tingle.

    91

    Even the closed doors of the 'cultured and educated.'

    92

    Even with the door closed, Jade.s madness and the sounds of his body thrashing against the wall were audible in the small courtyard.

    93

    Exhausted, her eyes fluttered closed.

    94

    Exhausted, she closed her eyes, Jule's words to her from earlier echoing in her thoughts.

    95

    Folding her legs beneath her, she took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

    96

    For a long moment, she thought their simple plan worked, and she closed her eyes to concentrate on the portal.

    97

    For a long time she lay wide awake with her eyes closed.

    98

    Fred closed the door.

    99

    Gabe's step slowed as he neared the man dressed in a white shirt held closed by two buttons and cream linen pants rolled to his knees, as if he'd been walking in the ocean.

    100

    Gabriel fell silent, and she closed her eyes, exhausted.

    101

    Gradually his grip weakened and then his eyes closed.

    102

    Han slammed the door open, and she squeezed her eyes closed, expecting the light from the hallway to hurt her.

    103

    He ached to show her how much she meant to him, to open her closed vision of him and his world and show her the beauty that made him fight as he did.

    104

    He bent his head back on the seat and closed his eyes but he didn't answer.

    105

    He breezed by her and wrenched the door open, slamming it closed.

    106

    He came in after the office was closed, put his money in an envelope and was gone in the morning.

    107

    He closed his door.

    108

    He closed his eyes and inched toward her, then turned his head in an unsuccessful attempt to retreat.

    109

    He closed his eyes and leaned back his head.

    110

    He closed his eyes and remained silent a long time.

    111

    He closed his eyes and said a prayer of thanks.

    112

    He closed his eyes and sighed.

    113

    He closed his eyes and summoned his power to Travel, one of the most useful gifts Damian granted him.

    114

    He closed his eyes and took a deep breath to steady himself.

    115

    He closed his eyes and tugged on a pair of lavender briefs before pulling up the bottom to the PJ's.

    116

    He closed his eyes briefly and began loosening his tight grip on the line, readying himself to rappel downward.

    117

    He closed his eyes tightly and swallowed around the lump in his throat.

    118

    He closed his eyes tightly.

    119

    He closed his eyes to Travel out of the condo, aware he'd snapped at her once again.

    120

    He closed his eyes, concentrating.

    121

    He closed his eyes, dropping his head back.

    122

    He closed his eyes, feeling her warm breath and soft skin against his again.

    123

    He closed his eyes, happy that the disturbing dream had turned into something lovely.

    124

    He closed his eyes, his jaw clenched hard enough for the muscles to tick.

    125

    He closed his eyes, recalling how happy he and his sisters were before the war.

    126

    He closed his eyes, remembering a time when he'd made a similar choice.

    127

    He closed his eyes, trying to wake himself up.

    128

    He closed his personal net, needing to concentrate.

    129

    He closed it again.

    130

    He closed the box.

    131

    He closed the door and walked around to the other side.

    132

    He closed the door behind him with a cold laugh, not bothering to bind her.

    133

    He closed the door behind him, and she rubbed her face again.

    134

    He closed the door behind him.

    135

    He closed the door to Brandon Westlake and told the old photographer-antique collector to come back after nine o'clock, claiming a need to do his own Internet work.

    136

    He closed the doorway behind him.

    137

    He closed the front door and went into another room.

    138

    He closed the portal.

    139

    He continued to grope his way forward until the first turn in the tunnel closed off what little light spilled in from the entrance.

    140

    He covered Sofia with a comforter and closed the door to his bedroom behind him.

    141

    He entered and closed the door.

    142

    He exited the stall and closed the gate, staring down at her defiantly.

    143

    He flung the door open and shoved the healer into the room, ignoring the two surprised occupants of the chamber as he closed the door without entering.

    144

    He glanced back at Fred, who had again closed his eyes and was prattling on about the best ways to "case" the storage facility.

    145

    He growled low, and she jumped, squeezing her eyes closed.

    146

    He had never felt such shame and self-loathing.  He closed the door to his room, and leaning against it, thought, what kind of monster have I become?

    147

    He held out his arm towards a closed door leading to another corridor.

    148

    He jumped to his feet flipping light switches and stumbling through both rooms, barely seeing still-sleeping Cynthia through eyes pinched nearly closed against the intrusive brightness.

    149

    He knelt on the ground and closed his eyes, seeking out the writhing darkness of his demon side.  If the demons had the power to transform and fly, he could access his demon powers, too, even if the Immortal side of him was bound by Death's underworld.     "Berries," Toby commanded the tree before him.

    150

    He lay back and closed his eyes, trying to picture the sad death, the end of the sad life of a woman, now resurrected to importance after a hundred years of total obscurity.

    151

    He leapt through the portal before it closed in time to see which one Jade chose.

    152

    He led her past closed doors and through hallways carved out of black stone.

    153

    He met her eyes, then closed his and swallowed hard, fighting back tears.

    154

    He met her gaze then closed the laptop.

    155

    He opened his eyes to face Han outside her closed door.

    156

    He opened the bottom drawer, placed it in the back beneath his never used shorts and closed it with a slam.

    157

    He placed the necklace in Damian's hand and closed it gently.

    158

    He plugged in a Coltrane disc and then a Gerry Mulligan and laid back to commiserate with the perfect sound of it all while he closed his eyes and pretended he was happy.

    159

    He put his head back and closed his eyes for a short time, but the pounding headache and the burning in his throat only intensified.

    160

    He put the ring back and closed the jewelry box, wishing he could shut off his memories as easily.

    161

    He regarded her for a long moment, as if assessing if she was going to run or cry, then closed the door.

    162

    He rode through and closed it, never looking her way.

    163

    He sighed and closed his eyes.

    164

    He sighed but tactfully closed the panel on his side.

    165

    He slammed the Yukon's door closed as he slid into the back seat beside her and pinned her with a look she refused to meet.

    166

    He slapped his menu closed.

    167

    He snatched her head with his other hand, then held her nose closed as she clamped her mouth shut.

    168

    He snatched her throat, and she closed her eyes, pulling his magic into her and using it to fling him away.

    169

    He stood outside a closed door down a short hallway lined with warriors.

    170

    He stopped and closed his eyes.

    171

    He stopped in front of the closed door to the massive set of chambers that were supposed to be his.

    172

    He threw himself down in bed and closed his eyes.

    173

    He took a bite out of his sandwich in such a way as to imply the subject was closed.

    174

    He was going to try to make her come to him.  She'd know where Katie was, and Rhyn could find her before more demons closed in.

    175

    He waved me to a side chair, closed the door and plopped down in his desk chair.

    176

    He went back to his car and started the engine, glancing back, but she had already closed the door.

    177

    He went to the guestroom next door and closed the door.

    178

    He went to the window opposite the figure and closed his eyes, then whipped the curtain open.

    179

    Her eyes closed, and she slept deeply, the first peaceful night of slumber since her last night with him.

    180

    Her eyes snapped closed, her last vision that of the most striking man she'd ever seen.

    181

    Her eyes were closed and she was obviously unconscious, flopping like a rag doll.

    182

    Her eyes were closed, but color bloomed in her cheeks.

    183

    Her fingers closed around the screen door handle.

    184

    Her guardedness fell away suddenly, and Lana closed the distance between them.

    185

    Her thoughts went to Jonny, and she closed her eyes as tears formed.

    186

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

    187

    His brother snapped his mouth closed and extended his hand, pulling Rhyn and Katie with him into the shadow world.

    188

    His eyes closed and he was soon fast asleep.

    189

    His eyes were closed as he said the word.

    190

    His eyes were closed, his body hunched and hands clenched together.

    191

    His eyes were closed.

    192

    His gaze went to her wrist, and he closed the distance between them, taking it.

    193

    His hand closed over hers.

    194

    His hand was so warm and the caress was so gentle that her eyes gradually closed.

    195

    His head was bowed near hers, eyes closed, as if he was…pleased to share the moment with her.

    196

    His instincts told him he needed to find the woman, and he closed his eyes.

    197

    His mind was closed, his home videos playing too faintly for her to hear.

    198

    However, parking was next to impossible, as preparations were underway for the morning parade, and driving by, he noticed the market was closed for the holiday.

    199

    However, what did I discover but the child at the sink alone and the doors to two stalls closed!

    200

    Howie, with eyes closed continued to speak.

    201

    I closed my eyes and swallowed my sobs on the short trip to the police facility.

    202

    I crept cautiously forward until I encountered a closed door, leading, I presumed, to the main house.

    203

    I explained I was interested in information on the now closed million dollar contest.

    204

    I made my decision, closed the door.

    205

    I poured us a second glass of wine as Betsy leaned back and closed her eyes, finally relaxing.

    206

    I took a deep breath and called her into my office and closed the door.

    207

    I've got a handle on things, but the underworld is still closed to me.

    208

    If she closed her eyes, she would have guessed him to be no older than her brother.

    209

    If she closed her eyes, she would see the black memories crossing through his mind, but she allowed him his privacy.

    210

    If she closed her eyes, she'd see the home video of Darian's funeral pile.

    211

    Ignoring the persistent ring, she put the chicken in the oven and closed the door.

    212

    In 1966, Mao Zedong closed the universities in China and sent their students and professors to the country to farm.

    213

    In 1980, Iran closed the universities.

    214

    Instead, he closed his eyes and Transported to the ranch.

    215

    It housed two beds and two sets of drawers and was connected to a shared bathroom by a closed door.

    216

    It opened only when the other had closed, and she toppled into Mansr's arms.

    217

    It used to be closed tighter than a kiddie cap on a pill bottle.

    218

    It was like my vocal cords opened for me to breath and closed when I held my breath, but that was it.

    219

    It was three miles before he came to a closed gas station, but there was a phone booth outside.

    220

    Jackson closed his eyes and dropped his head back.

    221

    Jackson closed his eyes and grimaced.

    222

    Jackson closed his eyes and nodded to her.

    223

    Jackson closed his eyes tightly in an attempt to summon courage.

    224

    Jackson closed his eyes to fully appreciate her scent.

    225

    Jackson closed his eyes, fearing his heart held nothing Elisabeth would desire.

    226

    Jackson laid his head back and closed his eyes.

    227

    Jade closed his eyes, drew a deep breath, and stepped from the forest.

    228

    Jade squeezed his eyes closed and said hoarsely, "No one can help me."

    229

    Jake drew a deep breath, closed his eyes, and disappeared.

    230

    Jenn closed the door firmly and drew a deep breath before facing her awaiting surveillance team.

    231

    Jenn started forward then paused with a glance towards the closed bedroom door.

    232

    Jetr crossed to the door and closed it before asking, "Have you given any thought to what I warned you of a few weeks ago?"

    233

    Jim closed the door behind him, and Brady stayed where he was for a long moment, watching the laser strikes.

    234

    Jim closed the door, and Lana watched the submarine sink quietly into the surrounding water and disappear.

    235

    Jonny was silent and still, his eyes closed in concentration.

    236

    Jule eased out of the garage and closed the door behind him.

    237

    Jule pushed the woman away from the door and slammed it closed.

    238

    Jule's eyes were closed and his skin clammy.

    239

    Just a road leading to the small parking area and a closed ticket booth for the ferry.

    240

    Just tell him the gateway can't be closed.

    241

    Katie closed the door to the bedroom behind her.

    242

    Katie followed her into the dairy and closed the door against the wind.

    243

    Katie had barely closed her eyes when Gabriel shook her awake.

    244

    Katie heard the sounds of laugher and talk from behind the closed door.

    245

    Kiera closed the door to the studio slowly, uncertain what she felt.

    246

    Kiera scowled at the closed door.

    247

    Kiki gave him a shove, and the older woman closed the door behind them.

    248

    Kris closed his eyes.

    249

    Kris entered and closed the door.

    250

    Kris left, and Gabriel closed his eyes, crossing into the shadow world before emerging on the street outside the woman's apartment building.

    251

    Kris opened the door to his lab, pushed him in, and closed it.

    252

    Kris waited until the door closed.

    253

    Kris waited until the guest bedroom door closed before he motioned to one of the Immortals posted on either end of the hallway.

    254

    Lana closed her eyes at the sudden light and heard him tearing something out of the ceiling.

    255

    Lana closed the door behind her and looked around, dismayed.

    256

    Lana raised the laser gun, closed her eyes and fired.

    257

    Lana slapped at the water-breather until it covered her mouth and nose then squeezed her eyes closed.

    258

    Lana turned as the door behind them closed.

    259

    Let's say the mine was closed up for years and only recently broken into.

    260

    Look at the kitten's intelligent eyes;" (here Eureka closed her eyes sleepily) "gaze at her smiling countenance!"

    261

    Lydia fell silent, eyes closed.

    262

    Mansr closed the door as another mine exploded and guided the spacecraft farther off the ground.

    263

    Martha moaned her head still back and her eyes closed.

    264

    Megan closed the door behind her, and Katie sank down onto the bed.

    265

    More warriors tumbled out after them until the last closed the stone door.

    266

    No one on the block remembered the motor home, but the backyard was closed from view from the street, so unless someone was in the building it would not have been visible.

    267

    Norfolk has closed their investigation too.

    268

    Not sure what to make of her or what he felt, he led Han out and closed the door.

    269

    Now the jeep road was closed, as it had been since early fall and would remain so until June, locked in its privacy by several feet of accumulated snow.

    270

    Once in his bedroom, he closed the door and again tried to telephone Cynthia.

    271

    Our active investigation is closed, but the file stays open until there's a body or a judge's ruling.

    272

    Overwhelmed, she closed her eyes, enjoying the heat.

    273

    Paul, who appeared to be the elder brother, was a robust figure who never closed his mouth even while eating.

    274

    Picking up his pillow and hugging it, she closed her eyes and breathed deeply, enjoying the scent of his cologne.

    275

    Pierre obeyed and closed the doors behind him.

    276

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

    277

    Returning to his room, he closed his door and opened the shades just enough to see.

    278

    Rhyn opened the door, surprised to find the jailer's room empty.  He'd expected Jared at least.  He closed the door quietly behind him.  He snatched the talisman hanging near the door, the one that freed inmates from their cells.  He ignored the quickening of his pulse as he entered the familiar cell block.

    279

    Rhyn rested back on the boulder and closed his eyes to the rhythmic sounds of waves and Gabriel trying to kill the practice dummy.

    280

    Right on cue we gets this call to pull into a closed down rest area.

    281

    Satisfied, she closed the notebook.

    282

    Sensing someone behind me, I turned just enough to see my wife sitting in a chair, her eyes closed.

    283

    Shaking and terrified, Deidre nonetheless held his gaze as she closed the distance between them, until she stood less than a foot away.

    284

    She accepted Jonny's hand rather than Xander's and closed her eyes to the cold sensations of Transporting.

    285

    She bit her lip and closed her eyes, hugging against him like a lost child.

    286

    She breathed deeply and closed her eyes, aware the portals wouldn't respond if she was remotely upset.

    287

    She changed, left her folded clothing on the bench outside the locker, and slammed the locker closed.

    288

    She closed and locked the door behind her.

    289

    She closed but did not lock it.

    290

    She closed her eyes against the sunlight and took another two steps into the garden.

    291

    She closed her eyes and braced herself for another.

    292

    She closed her eyes and concentrated again.

    293

    She closed her eyes and dozed in the warm sun.

    294

    She closed her eyes and drank.

    295

    She closed her eyes and focused again.

    296

    She closed her eyes and held her breath against the smells of sulfur and blood.

    297

    She closed her eyes and leaned back against his chest cupping her hands over his.

    298

    She closed her eyes and offered her neck, surprised to find her pulse quickening in excitement.

    299

    She closed her eyes and opened them again.

    300

    She closed her eyes and prayed fervently.

    301

    She closed her eyes and prayed for his safe return.

    302

    She closed her eyes and prayed.

    303

    She closed her eyes and pushed herself up, her breath catching at the sharp pain in her ribs.

    304

    She closed her eyes and pushed it away.

    305

    She closed her eyes and rested her head against the pod.

    306

    She closed her eyes and rested her head back.

    307

    She closed her eyes and said a prayer of thanks before she answered him.

    308

    She closed her eyes and shuddered in pleasure.

    309

    She closed her eyes and sighed, "Okay."

    310

    She closed her eyes and tilted her head, anticipating the pinch.

    311

    She closed her eyes and turned her back to him.

    312

    She closed her eyes and uncurled.

    313

    She closed her eyes and wished herself home.

    314

    She closed her eyes as he brushed away her tears.

    315

    She closed her eyes as she stepped into and through the wall and opened them after two steps.

    316

    She closed her eyes to concentrate hard on summoning the portal to the shadow place.

    317

    She closed her eyes to summon the portal when the door bucked.

    318

    She closed her eyes to the ceiling.

    319

    She closed her eyes, and dampness slid through her, over her.

    320

    She closed her eyes, and in spite of the situation, his fingers slowly siphoned the tenseness from her back.

    321

    She closed her eyes, as if to block the tears.

    322

    She closed her eyes, at ease in the arms of the man who scared her any other time.

    323

    She closed her eyes, body on fire as she drank from him while imagining what his mouth could do to the rest of her body.

    324

    She closed her eyes, breathing growing shallow.

    325

    She closed her eyes, content.

    326

    She closed her eyes, in too much pain to concentrate.

    327

    She closed her eyes, more of his home videos playing through her mind.

    328

    She closed her eyes, remembering.

    329

    She closed her eyes, searching for the home videos.

    330

    She closed her eyes, seeking the familiar home videos.

    331

    She closed her eyes, telling herself she'd survive this and figure out how to get the hell out of there, even if it meant bartering with the monsters on her cell block.

    332

    She closed her eyes, terrified of bleeding to death right there in her own home.

    333

    She closed her eyes, the home videos playing in her thoughts.

    334

    She closed her eyes, unmoving.

    335

    She closed her eyes, watching the disjointed, fuzzy home videos playing in her mind.

    336

    She closed her eyes.

    337

    She closed the book.

    338

    She closed the cabinet door, troubled.

    339

    She closed the distance between them and hugged her brother.

    340

    She closed the door behind her, dressed in clothing that accentuated her large breasts and tight body.

    341

    She closed the door behind her.

    342

    She closed the door behind them in the massive bedchamber that was hers and whirled.

    343

    She closed the door to her room with Mrs. Lincoln still nestled in her arms.

    344

    She closed the door, surprised at how quiet her room was.

    345

    She closed the door.

    346

    She closed the doors when she left the room, anticipation increasing her pulse.

    347

    She closed the journal and began her preparation.

    348

    She closed the lid and jerked the suitcase off the bed, hefting it down the hall, across the living room and out the door.

    349

    She crossed to a stall and closed the door, focusing on a portal to the shadow world.

    350

    She crossed to him and pushed the door to her wardrobe closed.

    351

    She didn't fully register his words until the door closed behind him.

    352

    She dropped her hand and closed her eyes, bracing herself.

    353

    She ducked into the room and whirled to push it closed just as quickly.

    354

    She entered, and Rainy closed the door behind her.

    355

    She felt his fear and squeezed her eyes closed, the man in her arms colliding with the man hiding in the corner of her mind.

    356

    She floored the car's accelerator, closed her eyes, and prayed she hit him.

    357

    She flung the door open and slammed it closed, about to run for her room, when she stopped cold.

    358

    She followed his directions, slammed her door closed, and locked it.

    359

    She glanced back at him to make sure his eyes were still closed.

    360

    She had forgotten not to smile and to keep her lips closed together.

    361

    She held his hand to her cheek and closed her eyes.

    362

    She immediately relaxed and closed her eyes.

    363

    She landed in the pod, and the door slid closed before she could react.

    364

    She leaned her head back against the wall and closed her eyes.

    365

    She leapt up and closed the door behind her, turmoil in her breast.

    366

    She left before anyone could shut her up again in a room, running once she'd closed the door to the hovel the two families shared.

    367

    She lifted her glass and took two gulps, winced again, rubbed her mouth and closed her eyes.

    368

    She lolled her head back and closed her eyes.

    369

    She looked at her wrist, where Lankha had bitten her, closed her eyes, and hacked.

    370

    She motioned for Deidre to enter then closed the door and locked it as soon as she did.

    371

    She needed him too much to wait and closed the distance between them, wrapping her arms around him.

    372

    She nodded and closed her eyes.

    373

    She opened the door and closed it quickly.

    374

    She piled one arm high and closed the door.

    375

    She placed her hands on either side of his and closed her eyes, concentrating.

    376

    She punched the message closed and forwarded it to her micro before deleting it.

    377

    She pushed the door closed with her hip, a silver tray of cookies and snacks in her hands.

    378

    She put the rabbit back in the cage and closed the door securely.

    379

    She quickly closed her sketchbook and turned to face him with a shocked expression.

    380

    She released a breath, closed her eyes and then yanked.

    381

    She said nothing to him but returned to her small room and closed the door.

    382

    She sensed his movement and closed her eyes, willing her death to be as fast as the robed man's.

    383

    She shook her head as he closed the communication line with a click and concentrated on the scene before her.

    384

    She snapped them closed, but not before she saw him slide into the darkness.

    385

    She squeezed her eyes closed and breathed deeply, swaying.

    386

    She squeezed her eyes closed at his response.

    387

    She squeezed her eyes closed without complying.

    388

    She squeezed her eyes closed, ears buzzing and tunnel vision forming.

    389

    She squeezed her eyes closed, heart quickening and her breathing fast and shallow.

    390

    She squeezed her eyes closed, heart slamming in her tight chest.

    391

    She squeezed her eyes closed, not caring what he said and suspecting he was lecturing her on how not to behave in public.

    392

    She squeezed her eyes closed, praying.

    393

    She squeezed her hand closed to hide the number and faced the forest, waiting for him to reappear.

    394

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

    395

    She stilled and squeezed her eyes closed, waiting for the inevitable.

    396

    She stopped and closed her eyes, seeking the home videos that normally streamed.

    397

    She swung her legs off the bed and closed her eyes.

    398

    She then closed her eyes and began to cry.

    399

    She took it and closed her eyes, determined to find a way to use her gift to counter her father's magic.

    400

    She toyed with her food, gaze going to the closed door behind which her two-year-old daughter slept.

    401

    She turned on her knees and vomited behind her while Cynthia closed her eyes and wept.

    402

    She waited until the door closed before crossing to the carafe and refilling her glass.

    403

    She was in the bathroom of their bedroom mopping the floor when the front door closed.

    404

    She was pale but breathing steadily, her enigmatic eyes closed.

    405

    She was reading a paperback and he was relaxing, with his eyes closed.

    406

    She wasn't on my list, probably because the police considered the case closed.

    407

    She wrapped her arms around her knees and closed her eyes for a brief rest.

    408

    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.

    409

    So she—" Gladys read from her notes, "...stepped up on the velvet chair, tightens the silken cord about her neck, and closed her eyes...."

    410

    Sofia closed her eyes.

    411

    Sofia pulled again at her bindings and closed her eyes against the blood splatters on the ceiling.

    412

    Sofia wrapped her arms around Dustin and squeezed her eyes closed as the engine roared to life.

    413

    Sometimes all is not as it appears to be behind closed doors.

    414

    Store fronts interspersed with vacant lots lined one side of the street while the other remained absent of any buildings except a closed gas station and a dollar store.

    415

    Struggling against the demands of his roaring blood, Rhyn closed his eyes, sought his magic and willed himself awake.

    416

    That goes for the closed doors of people's minds and thoughts as well as their elegant houses.

    417

    The assassin gave a trace of a smile, closed his eyes, and disappeared.

    418

    The bedroom in the cottage was chilly with the door to the living room closed.

    419

    The Black God's bedroom door was closed for the first time in a week.

    420

    The Byrne case was closed but in spite of Winston's admonishment, the matter wouldn't leave his mind.

    421

    The case is closed.

    422

    The cave closed behind her, startling her.

    423

    The curtains closed at his silent command, and she lay still, waiting for him to make some move on her.

    424

    The demon closed the door—one of the Immortal comforts, for there were no doors in Hell—and left him to wonder how many men and women Sasha had in the bed before him.

    425

    The demon lord entered and closed the door behind him.

    426

    The door closed behind her, and he pointed to a chair.

    427

    The door closed behind her, leaving her in near-complete darkness.

    428

    The door closed behind her.

    429

    The door closed behind him.

    430

    The door closed behind them as he strode through the lighted, vacant halls, following a familiar path on the way to the chamber.

    431

    The door closed softly behind him.

    432

    The door closed with an ominous boom that echoed throughout what sounded like a massive but empty chamber.

    433

    The door closed, and the long vehicle pulled away.

    434

    The door swung closed behind her, and fear trickled through her.

    435

    The door to Destiny & Jonathan's room was closed.

    436

    The door to Leland Anderson's office was closed when Dean arrived, and Lenny Harrigan was the only detective at his desk.

    437

    The door to the room was closed.

    438

    The door was closed but lopsided in its frame while half the lights overhead were burnt out.

    439

    The door, having let Petya in, closed again.

    440

    The driver sped away before the door closed, and she twisted around to see the three men watching them.

    441

    The gateway closed behind him.

    442

    The lackey tossed her onto a hard couch in the rear of the house opposite a closed patio door.

    443

    The last time he glanced at the clock it was three-thirty and he'd still not closed his eyes.

    444

    The light was coming from under a closed door at the end of a hallway.

    445

    The man took a deep breath of the hot and salty night air and firmly closed the door marked Room 22.

    446

    The mansion's heavy drapes on the ground floor were closed and the lighting in the library dim enough for her to tolerate.

    447

    The medics finally motioned for her to stop and closed double doors.

    448

    The mine tunnel narrowed and the pair was forced to hunch down under the low ceiling that closed in the fetid air around them like a soaked and musty blanket.

    449

    The Original Vamp closed his eyes.

    450

    The pain melted into hot pleasure once again, and she closed her eyes as he fed long and hard.

    451

    The placards on each of the other doors were blank, the doors closed with no sign of light around the edges.

    452

    The portal closed behind his half-brother, and Kiki lowered the knife in his hand, facing Kris.

    453

    The portal to Hell closed.

    454

    The roads up there are closed by snow two-thirds of the year.

    455

    The screen lit up in front of them, and the door closed.

    456

    The shower was on and the bathroom door closed.

    457

    The stone doors lining each side were all closed.

    458

    The thick stone door behind her slid closed, and there was a pause before another door opened in front of her.

    459

    The town was fairly large with a dozen or so business buildings on each side of the street but, as I said, most were closed.

    460

    The truck lights stayed on the door while she unlocked it, and for several minutes after she was inside with the door closed.

    461

    The warriors with her closed around her, blocking some of the crowd from sight.

    462

    The winter had been exceptionally clear of late snow and the high mountain passes that in many years remained closed until July had been cleared weeks earlier this spring.

    463

    The woman in his arms ducked her head again and closed her eyes, missing the flash of darkness that crossed his mind and face.

    464

    The wound closed immediately.

    465

    Then he heard a muffled sound from behind the partially closed bathroom door.

    466

    Then there's a sign for a rest area so you start to pull in but it's closed.

    467

    There was a click as Mansr closed the connection.

    468

    There was a quick glance toward the closed bedroom door.

    469

    There's a barn out back that's closed up so we can't see if the vehicle is here.

    470

    They closed the case when a guy named Willard Humphries they were sure did it was sent away for another crime.

    471

    They darted outside and closed the door before the room lost the little warmth it had gained.

    472

    They entered a quieter wing, and Jenn stopped to knock on a closed door.

    473

    They reached their quarters and closed the door.

    474

    They talked for a few minutes, and after they were done, she closed the phone and handed it back to Alex.

    475

    They've been more than generous with help and information but the investiga­tion is closed and I have to tip-toe on ice digging into it.

    476

    Toby closed his eyes, focusing hard on searching the memories of all the angels that came before him.

    477

    Toby stepped out of the cell and closed it.

    478

    Too exhausted to move, she closed her eyes as he pulled her into his body.

    479

    Torn, she closed the door on him once again.

    480

    Ully obeyed.  They crept through the hallways, avoiding any that seemed crowded.  Toby followed the directions he saw in his memories and led them to a small chamber near the center of the fortress.  They entered and closed the door, seeing the open portal hovering in the middle.  He took Ully's hand, and they stepped into it.

    481

    Unable to process what was before her, Deidre closed the door and swallowed hard.

    482

    Unwilling to see her death, she closed her eyes, never imagining she'd ever be hurtling towards some distant planet in an escape pod booby-trapped to kill her!

    483

    When he reached her vehicle, he could hear her anguished sobs through the closed windows.

    484

    When Ozma went away she closed the door and left her pet on the table.

    485

    When she closed her laptop, Jackson said, "I thought after, we could head toward the water and find a restaurant for lunch, then walk the beach if it's not too cold."

    486

    When the door closed, she looked at the vial of blood.

    487

    When the Perkins Institution closed in June, Helen and her teacher went south to Tuscumbia, where they remained until December.

    488

    When the Wright-Humason School closed for the summer, Miss Sullivan and Helen went South.

    489

    When there was a coup in Burma, now Myanmar, in 1988, they closed the universities.

    490

    While the case might be officially closed, Dean felt an obliga­tion to Randy Byrne, as well as his own curiosity, to follow up the March fourth Whitney Motel incident.

    491

    With a deep breath, she closed her eyes and jumped.

    492

    With the second demon holding her, he closed the distance.

    493

    Would she have been able to hear his conversation behind a closed door?

    494

    You can stop this war here, now, Purple-eyes said with a look that made her snap her eyes closed.

    495

    Yully closed her eyes and reached out towards her father.

    496

    Yully closed her eyes, entranced by the sensations.

    497

    Yully closed the door behind her, shaking out of fear and cold.

    498

    Yully squeezed her eyes closed, relieved the bartender wasn't buried in her backyard with the others.

    499

    Yully stopped at the end of the driveway and squeezed her eyes closed, tormented by her conscience.

    500

    Yully's eyes closed, and she focused hard on feeling something other than Jule, whose presence still lingered in her body.
