After your leg is broken next week.

Bianca was gone, and the horse dozed next to the fence.

Bill and I are getting married - next weekend.
Bird Song was now officially at full capacity and would remain so for the next few days.
Both compasses lit up as the next name on the list appeared.

Dean figured it hadn't rained in Pagosa Springs in months but she began to spread out her sleeping bag in the narrow space next to him, nudging him closer to the side with her hip.
Dean pitied his wife, knowing the grueling trip that lay before her over the next several hours, not knowing what awaited her landing.
Dean sat down next to him.
Dean sat on the floor next to the lad.
Dean sat on the ground next to the vehicle.
Dean spent the next hour nursing two beers and telephoned again, still without success.
Dean telephoned Cynthia Byrne next, but Randy answered.
Dean thought about the pictures, especially the one of Dickinson Faust standing next to his Jeep, with the woman's sweater hanging over the seat.

Dean was surprised just how tired he was and happy to get a decent night's sleep before tackling the next day's 60-mile run to Pagosa Springs—leg two of the "Ride the Rockies Tour."
Dean was well aware that when this opportunity, as tenuous as it was, was gone, locating their elusive quarry would be next to impossible.
Deidre had never seen him like this, as a quietly commanding figure, capable of lethal force one moment and gentle kisses the next.

He can pick it up next weekend.
He carefully put a star next to the unanswered question.
He climbed into bed next to his wife but didn't turn off the light.
He concluded by saying that the next 36 hours would be the most critical.
He could be anywhere, maybe camping in the next tent or staying anyplace in Cortez.
He could hear her weeping, so entered and sat next to her on the bed.
He directed her to the next stall.
He doubted his night – or his next few thousand years – was going to get any better than this.
He drummed his fingers, obviously contemplating his next words.
He expected her to push him away and slap him, and he was prepared to leave and remain furious at her for the next week or two.
He felt as if they were melting in to each other, and rather than anticipating what could come next, he was content to just stay in this moment.
He felt her sit on the bed next to him.
He finished and laid out his clothing and weapons in neat piles for the next day then stood at the bed.

He had thought he would be putting a new clutch in this car next week.
He loved the way she could be wanton and sensual one minute, then bashful and demure the next.

He pulled her next to him, so that her back was leaning against his chest.
He remained motionless, wondering if she could possibly have left hers and Ryland's room nearly next to his without hearing them.
He retrieved a jar from the small refrigerator and laid it next to a surgical knife, a large rubber tube, and a huge syringe.
He sat back and rubbed his face, fighting the urge to touch her again and take their relationship to the next level.
He sat next to Fred on the sofa.
He sat next to Sarah, planting a kiss on her forehead.
He sat on a sofa while she settled into a leather rocker where she'd evidently been sitting, as there was a nearly empty pint of vodka on the table next to her.

He spotted Dean at once and joined him on the next stool.
He stood next to Dusty and another of Dusty's Guardians.

He Traveled to the basement lab and perched next to Toni on a stool at a table bearing something that should've made him lose his appetite.
He was doing Kris.s next lover a favor.
He was putting up a framed twenty dollar bill on the wall next to a picture of him with the president.
He was standing next to me now.
He was to return after some early morning business, the next day, Tuesday—same day, I guess—he died after midnight, Tuesday.
He went next door to the conference room and opened it.
He went to the guestroom next door and closed the door.
He would leave the next day, after taking care of some business.
He'd be at the service next week and not to see if a missing man would turn up in veiled drag, but simply because Cynthia Byrne told him she'd be pleased with his presence.

Katie asked. She settled next to the trapped woman, trying hard to keep her mind off how cold she was. She was grateful for company, even if Deidre seemed as lost as she was.
Katie fought to keep the emotions tumbling within her from leaking out, instead reveling in the sight of her mate. While in the underworld, she'd lost all hope of ever standing next to him again.
Katie trotted to the chamber next to Kris.s, knowing the guest chambers were near but not sure which was which.

She dropped the cloth and moved to the next object, which was obviously a painting.
She felt like a flower next to a tree and stared, hoping Elise didn't take his offer seriously.
She flipped on her computer and tossed her shoes next to the couch.

She held the shoes next to her feet.
She kept her voice low, in case the room next door was occupied.
She lay down on her back to watch the sun set and didn't move until he returned early the next morning to toss stinky fish beside her.
She let the conversation drop that night, but early the next morning Dulce caught him in the hallway and it was clear that she didn't think anything was settled.
She moved along, foot-by-foot, focusing on the next stone and on her anger to keep from sobbing and falling to her doom.
She needed anything to take her mind off the next few hours, because she had no idea if she'd survive what she was about to try.

She spent the night waiting for the nightmare world to end and dressed the next morning with an undertaker's solemnity.
She stared up at him, struggling over her next move.
She studied him, not understanding why the necklace with his family's souls was worth killing her for one day and not a concern the next.
She turned to the next stall.
She waited breathlessly for his next move.
She was almost grateful for the summons then anxious in the next breath.
She was struck by his words, feeling as if the one person she relied upon was not only running out on her but would chop her into pieces the next time she saw him.

Suddenly, Hannah stopped. Kris barreled towards her. He glimpsed movement before he burst into the small clearing. It wasn't until he leapt over the final hurdle – a massive fallen tree – did he see what stopped her. One moment she stood with her back to him. The next, she was on the ground, Rhyn's dagger dripping with blood.
