Only in A Sentence

    1

    A 24-hour guard wasn't possible and arresting him would only make him more dangerous.

    2

    A carny worker was bending over me, only inches away, saying something over and over again.

    3

    A few weeks ago we were only friends, and now...

    4

    A motor home passed by, with California plates, only the open road of the entire country ahead of them.

    5

    A reason why she was the only light in a very dark place.

    6

    A relationship would only get in the way.

    7

    Adrienne expected a sharp response from Mr. Marsh, but he only regarded his wife thoughtfully for a few moments.

    8

    Alex had directed the little he said to her only.

    9

    Alex had provided the money to remodel the home, but insisted that it stay in her name only.

    10

    An old sickle mower and rake with their high metal seats were the only items she recognized.

    11

    And all the time she thought she was the only one with the torrid thoughts.

    12

    And recognize we have a life, even if it's only by necessity; the bills keep coming and I get hungry once in a while.

    13

    And that left only adoption.

    14

    Annie was mentioned, but only that she was killed when they were children.

    15

    Anyway, I only act fifteen, I'm really 19.

    16

    Apparently it was the only thing that frightened him.

    17

    Apparently she found Mr. Cade not only attractive, but also irresistible.

    18

    Are you saying it's only you who are able to.

    19

    As different as night and day, they were his adopted brothers—and the only men in the universe he trusted with his life.

    20

    As for Cynthia, her cheeks weren't the only things filling out.

    21

    As much as it didn't make sense, as much as his day job terrified her … She wanted Darkyn, more so now that she knew he had a side – however tiny – that was capable of caring for her and only her.

    22

    At least two different people call in the tips but I'm guessing only one person is the psychic.

    23

    At times he seemed on the verge of revealing it to Adrienne, only to draw back into himself and avoid her for days.

    24

    Being the only child, she was probably over protective of him.

    25

    Being the only postal employee in a small town, the petite extravert was always ready for conversation.

    26

    Besides, the cops only had eyes for me, like the song says.

    27

    Betsy had driven our only car so I wasn't able to drive over there myself.

    28

    Betsy stepped from the shower, all pink as a posy and wearing only a smile.

    29

    Betsy's clandestine research about Julie, such as it was, was shared only with me.

    30

    Bianca was the only one of those around him who could cook.

    31

    Bordeaux was a persuasive man with a tendency to move fast - apparently not only with women.

    32

    But … there has only been one other Dark One before Darkyn.

    33

    But I'm the only one who has a chance to try.

    34

    But it would be nice to know you had a way to get out and do things without fear of taking the only vehicle.

    35

    But we're only three days out of Ashley - at the most.

    36

    But words never came to her lips, only long sobs.

    37

    By the confidence in his voice, he expected her not only to agree, but to resume her place on his arm.

    38

    Cade only wanted one thing - and she had foolishly submitted.

    39

    Cade was her boss, and thinking such things was not only disrespectful of him, but job threatening as well - especially if he suspected the existence of such thoughts.

    40

    Christmas was only a few days away, and yet it didn't seem like Christmas.

    41

    Concrete walls surrounded us and the door, the only opening was a massive solid wood hulk.

    42

    Damian's suite was lit only by a blazing fire in the hearth.

    43

    Darcie wasn't the only passenger on the stage to Springtown.

    44

    Darkyn's not the only one who likes it rough.

    45

    Death is the only definite, and so it's the first vision you see until you hone your skills.

    46

    Deidre almost cringed at the thought of leaving the chamber after her first venture out that landed her not only in trouble but also in Darkyn's bed.

    47

    Deidre approached him with trepidation, stopping only close enough to reach out and take the hourglass.

    48

    Deidre stopped only when they were toe-to-toe and leaned into him, needing the heat and solidness of his body to quiet her distress.

    49

    Deidre tried to ignore him, afraid reacting would only draw more attention to herself.

    50

    Despite the pub's standing room only capacity, the table next to her booth was empty.

    51

    Details of her sufferings were only hinted.

    52

    Did he think the rules were only for the others?

    53

    Don't give her your only set of keys to anything.

    54

    Dusty looked around them, gaze settling on the only car on the streets that didn't belong to him and wasn't on blocks.

    55

    Even if he was a Mormon, how could he make plans with this Darcie when he had proposed to her only an hour ago?

    56

    First and only love, I guess.

    57

    Four dissimilar individuals, tied to a damaged being known only to one of us who at one time hated him for the loss of her friend.

    58

    Getting a job in Bartlesville would only make everyone believe she was still in love with Brandon.

    59

    Getting involved would only complicate things.

    60

    Glancing down at herself, she decided there was only one logical place for her to start.

    61

    Glancing through the open door of the adjoining room where I'd left Howie, I found it not only empty, but absent of Quinn's equipment as well!

    62

    Going three thousand miles away sounds like a good idea for you folks, even if it's only for a couple of days.

    63

    Granted, Howie's mother might linger for weeks but she's still his only flesh and blood.

    64

    Had the idea only been a clever method to gain favors?

    65

    He appeared calm and in control again, if not relaxed, with the only three men he'd ever trusted.

    66

    He ate only the plainest food.

    67

    He cautioned me that Bryce might not be our only threat.

    68

    He couldn't know that she was about to become the only thing standing between his soul and Darkyn.

    69

    He couldn't lose the only other woman he'd ever cared about.

    70

    He desperately wants to eliminate what he sees as the only threat to his activities.

    71

    He didn't have to wonder where he'd die-- only how.

    72

    He faked me out at first 'cause I was only looking at passenger cars.

    73

    He had a feeling the worst was going to happen, and the sense he wouldn't be the only one who died this weekend if he had to depend on Darian made him feel sick to his stomach.

    74

    He hinted this case was only one of his many accomplishments.

    75

    He hung it up only for it to ring again.

    76

    He leans on me like I'm the only person in the world.

    77

    He looked like her father, only his eyes glowed green where her father's had been purple.

    78

    He only owned one suit.

    79

    He paused only long enough to locate her, and then made a straight line for her.

    80

    He paused, but only for a moment.

    81

    He says it's only a few miles away and we'll be right back.

    82

    He was brave now that he faced only a woman.

    83

    He was hugging Sunny as if she were the only thing in the world that mattered.

    84

    He was one of the only people who didn't shy away from her or treat her like she was a leper.

    85

    He was only a guest until they reached Ashley.

    86

    He was only fourteen years old.

    87

    He was only supposed to be investigating him.

    88

    He was only the messenger.

    89

    He was the only one.

    90

    He was the sexiest man she'd ever seen, and the swirling aura of command only amplified his physical appeal.

    91

    He was warm and solid at her back, the only thing capable of grounding her in the nightmare of a world she lived in.

    92

    He'd known love and trust only in the earliest stage of his life, when he had a family before he entered the dark age of his people.

    93

    He'd nearly reached the end of the alley when the hair on the back of his neck rose like it did when a Watcher was present, only this was no Watcher.

    94

    He'd said she had a chance not only to leave, but also to help save Gabriel's life, if she did exactly as Darkyn said.

    95

    He's never spoken on the phone; it's only Julie's word and I'm sure she'd retract anything she said earlier.

    96

    He's only here until Sunday night when we drop him off in Boston for his flight back to the west coast.

    97

    He's the only one who is a direct threat and that's due to our coming so close to getting him in the past.

    98

    Hearing it out loud only made her more confused.

    99

    Her heart was pounding and it wasn't only fear of the storm.

    100

    Her only satisfaction was that he had failed.

    101

    Her tortured thoughts went to the thousands of men, killed by the only family she'd known, whose souls were trapped for eternity beneath the ground.

    102

    Hers wasn't the only life that had nearly been taken today.

    103

    Hesitating only a moment more, Yully moved towards him and knelt.

    104

    His long, sleek hair was tied in a tight braid, and despite the cold and wind he wore only a long-sleeved sweater that hugged the muscles of his arms and shoulders beneath a down vest.

    105

    His observance was not only dead-on, it was disturbing.

    106

    His only explanation was that he liked being alone.

    107

    His only recollection is that you were as devastated over your sister as everyone else.

    108

    His scent and warmth only made her panic increase.

    109

    His sympathy only made matters worse and she hiccupped.

    110

    His voice reached out to her from only a few feet away.

    111

    His voice was the only thing that penetrated the haze coating her thoughts.

    112

    Howie only came to New Hampshire a couple of times.

    113

    Howie was due within the hour so only Quinn and Martha met us at the door.

    114

    Howie wouldn't discuss the matter but we could only guess how he felt.

    115

    Howie, I can't tell you what to do; only give you advice and try to look at the options logically.

    116

    Howie, now able to usually remain with a vehicle, stayed with the car to a suburban ranch style house only six miles from the kidnapping.

    117

    Howie, only a sometimes drinker, consumed his share.

    118

    Hurt, she fled into the cold night air, stopping only when she reached the center of the gardens.

    119

    I am in the middle of it right now - only I don't know what I'm in the middle of.

    120

    I am only one of a number of concerned citizen contributors.

    121

    I can only applaud this man's ability to deduce.

    122

    I can only assume the powder you found in my pocket was powdered sugar.

    123

    I can only describe the mood of our return trip as pensive.

    124

    I can only heal them one by one, but Dusty, if I don't do it, then you'll kill everyone, and it's not fair when they're just innocent people.

    125

    I can only imagine how difficult this is for you.

    126

    I can't picture him fighting or picking on anyone, but if I closely consider the signs, I can see his tendency to take advantage of others, if only in a self-serving way.

    127

    I can't share what I see with anyone else and it not only reeks of voyeurism but feels selfish to me.

    128

    I closed my eyes and perhaps nodded off but when I opened them, Martha was standing there, without her robe, in only a sheer nightgown.

    129

    I don't know how long I remained unconscious; probably only a minute or so.

    130

    I felt panic when I noticed our kerosene lamp, our only light, was but half full of fluid.

    131

    I groomed hundreds of others like you, and only you can do this.

    132

    I guess because the only one who should be looking at it is my husband.

    133

    I imagine an eternity of punishment as only the Dark One can devise.

    134

    I imagine only Pierre is on it now.

    135

    I introduced myself by name as I accepted the offered seat across from a large desk, the only other furniture in the small room.

    136

    I knew I had only bought time for Molly and I and our captor would soon learn of the nonsense I'd fed him and be done with me.

    137

    I know I'm pigheaded but I can't tell you how much I appreciate how you all embrace this with only my word.

    138

    I mean, I only want your blood.

    139

    I must have guessed incorrectly as I saw only empty camp sites beyond.

    140

    I only first heard about Howie was when I met him last September.

    141

    I only hope it wasn't poison.

    142

    I only kill bad guys.

    143

    I only meant it would be good to get out of the house, no matter what we went to see.

    144

    I only need one.

    145

    I only see other people's fates, not mine.

    146

    I only use the dining room when I have company.

    147

    I only wish there was a real horse here for me to race with.

    148

    I prayed our stalwart group of five wasn't down to only me.

    149

    I really am the only one with sense around here.

    150

    I refer to history extensively in these pages because I believe historical people are exactly like us, only in different circumstances.

    151

    I remembered a judge had tossed out a search warrant obtained only on the basis of our tip.

    152

    I see only the parts of them that hold depravity, weakness.

    153

    I see only what is in my narrow lane.

    154

    I suppose that's only natural.

    155

    I think it's only natural.

    156

    I thought Dr. Mallard was the only doctor you hadn't fired yet.

    157

    I told him he wouldn't be involved and I'd only ask general questions but he's adamant.

    158

    I updated him on all we'd learned, with the only good news that baby Claire was alive and apparently well.

    159

    I want only the opportunity to speak to Dusty, if needed.

    160

    I was candid, omitting only the fact Julie had sent an entry to the newspaper contest.

    161

    I was like that ship before my education began, only I was without compass or sounding-line, and had no way of knowing how near the harbour was.

    162

    I was raised on a farm, and being an only child, I learned not to depend on others for entertainment.

    163

    I was the only one to see those visions.

    164

    I wasn't the only one in that area doing what I did at the time.

    165

    I'd known him for a few years, even if it was only in passing.

    166

    I'm closing the doors around you, until there's only one that's open.

    167

    I'm in another country, if only for a short while to see if the pickings here are to my liking.

    168

    I'm on the road once more with only my memory of sweet little Marcia for company.

    169

    I'm the only human they see most of the time, and I represent no harm to them.

    170

    I'm the only Immortal who can walk into Hell.

    171

    I'm the only one in this mess who isn't out to hurt anyone else, she retorted.

    172

    I'm the only one who hasn't lied to you.

    173

    If he had been the only child in the family, things might have been different.

    174

    If her powers grow enough, she'll not only prevent us from stitching up the tear between realms, but she'll open the doorway between the two worlds.

    175

    If only he didn't have to tour the Sector tonight!

    176

    If only he would smile with something besides his eyes.

    177

    If only she could believe he wasn't involved in anything illegal.

    178

    If only she could conquer these mood shifts.

    179

    If only she could forgive and forget the way they did.

    180

    If only she could have one more chance.

    181

    If only she could shout it to the world.

    182

    If only she could take Destiny's pain and fear.

    183

    If only there were some curtains on the windows and rugs on the floors.

    184

    If she could only reach him … She faced Two, the only thing between her and escape.

    185

    If she could only think straight for a few seconds!

    186

    If she hadn't been there in his arms only minutes ago, she never would have guessed he had been so aroused.

    187

    If she only had a clue what was bothering him.

    188

    If she was the only one who could help him, she was also the only one who could stop him.

    189

    If the Indians were renegades, surely they wouldn't want to take the time to track only two people - not with the cavalry on their trail.

    190

    If you wanted to marry me, why did you tell me you only wanted to spend a few nights with me?

    191

    If you'd only said something - told me how you felt.

    192

    In despair she had dropped the subject for the time, only to renew it at the first opportunity.

    193

    In the first place, I'm only an LPN right now.

    194

    In the next few minutes she had reason to believe that wasn't his only cause for concern.

    195

    Instinct deemed it honor, but was that only wishful thinking?

    196

    It all happened so fast that she didn't have time to think, only to cling to the one solid thing she could find - Cade.

    197

    It could only have been in the last few weeks since the weather had turned warm.

    198

    It felt good to be off her feet, even if only momentarily and in such a manner.

    199

    It felt strange to have only the two of them at the table.

    200

    It looked untouched, but a quick search revealed the only weapons remaining were those she'd taken when she left her room, and the beacon was gone.

    201

    It only proves you have a mind of your own.

    202

    It only seemed natural for them to sit next to each other, and what would feel more natural would probably scare her off.

    203

    It only strengthened the idea that he was the caretaker, not the owner.

    204

    It operates on manipulation of brain waves but only on highly intelligent individuals.

    205

    It took him only a few minutes in between each pronouncement to locate us.

    206

    It was a moment that lay in her stomach like a week-long hunger, regardless of the fact that they had been gone only minutes.

    207

    It was a sobering reminder that a bear had been on this spot – possibly only minutes earlier.

    208

    It was balanced perilously between a small town that lacked only a sheriff, and a booming frontier town.

    209

    It was best to stay out of the entire thing - if they would only let her.

    210

    It was her first day back on the job; she would stay only an hour while Quinn babysat.

    211

    It was Martha's turn to be mildly shocked, Only in my dreams.

    212

    It was only a dream.

    213

    It was only a matter of days.

    214

    It was only a matter of time before someone began to connect our tips.

    215

    It was only two thirty in the afternoon, but she didn't want to go back to sleep.

    216

    It was ridiculous to live in a 3-bedroom apartment and only use two bedrooms.

    217

    It was strange being in Quinn's room although the only remnants of him were his machines.

    218

    It was the same guy as Delaware and Alabama only the mustache is gone.

    219

    It would only cause him more trouble, both with the trip and wagging tongues.

    220

    It would only confuse the issue further.

    221

    It'd been only a week and a half since she ventured into this new world, but she felt strangely exposed without Pierre with her.

    222

    It'll make things tough, but it's only a few months.

    223

    It'll smell like a whale died in here now, and I've only got three more Tahoes that survived the hurricane.

    224

    It's been more than that for a long time - or am I only imagining things?

    225

    It's better for both of us, and it's the only real way I can protect you from him.

    226

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

    227

    It's just too bad that you're the only one who gets to enjoy them.

    228

    It's not only Quinn and his machines that are important; I need guidance even more.

    229

    It's only a few doors down.

    230

    It's only a matter of time before the hand of the law is laid upon us.

    231

    It's only a short hop.

    232

    It's only five AM in California.

    233

    It's only natural that men want to touch you.

    234

    It's only two blocks, and it gives me a chance to wake up.

    235

    It's the hunter that throws nature out of balance, selecting only the best game.

    236

    It's the only deal I ever lost that I didn't mind losing.

    237

    It's the only thing I do well.

    238

    It's the only way for him to become a vamp.

    239

    It's the same thing you do to change an object into another, only normal objects have far less energy to control.

    240

    It's the truth only no one will come out and say it.

    241

    Jenn snorted, wondering how she explained there was only one vamp in an entire organization of inhuman blood suckers that gave her the creeps.

    242

    Jonny was only accepting the path he'd already chosen, but it was a difficult pill for her to swallow.

    243

    Jule hesitated only a moment longer before he cupped her face in his hands and kissed her.

    244

    Jule, whose soul had somehow lingered in her body when she'd touched him, and who had become the only man she'd ever felt safe around.

    245

    Len was the only one left she could trust, and she couldn't tell him anything without implicating Yancey.

    246

    Like he said; he only has one mother, and he can finish his schooling later.

    247

    Look, I was only fooling around.

    248

    Martha's only comment was that it was nice to hear at least one piece of good news.

    249

    Maybe he only maintained the house for someone else.

    250

    Maybe he wasn't a saddle bum, but only a greenhorn would think he could live off the barren land that surrounded them.

    251

    Maybe she thinks I'm the only thing keeping you from doing that.

    252

    More than likely the unidentified rider was only another drifter.

    253

    My only directive to our group was a strong suggestion we act unanimously.

    254

    My only hint occurred during a dance with Martha at our wedding reception.

    255

    Neither of us was proficient at using a saw and we'd managed only two rungs when exhaustion caught up with us and the light faded for permanently.

    256

    Next, a head but scattered hay was the only thing in sight.

    257

    Nina wasn't the only one awaiting her arrival.

    258

    No, Bordeaux had only one reason for wanting to marry Cassie - the ranch.

    259

    No, she's only stalling.

    260

    No. I can only assume that they made it to Ashley.

    261

    Nope, though I've only let her past the barrier once.

    262

    Not only because she loved him, but also because she trusted him.

    263

    Not only were we rewarded by the success of Howie's activities but our new personal situations were blissful.

    264

    Now his only concern was that she had his meal ready when he came home for supper.

    265

    Now I'll only need you.

    266

    Now, with only a few hours sleep, he was walking while she rode.

    267

    Of course, if you think it would be too much work... you'll only have two weeks.

    268

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

    269

    Once I entered the woods I had only dead reckoning to come out near my quarry.

    270

    Only a few flying saucer advocates spoke from the fringes with a positive slant.

    271

    Only a few minutes ago she had flaunted death.

    272

    Only a sense it was summer because the corn was high.

    273

    Only baby Claire who slept soundly in her file cabinet crib was truly content.

    274

    Only Betsy was raised outside of New England and she easily bowed to our collective desires to remain within its six state bounds.

    275

    Only blindness could have prevented her from knowing that she was unusually attractive.

    276

    Only for a minute or two but it was so cool!

    277

    Only half are black and half nut cases.

    278

    Only he, unknown to any of us, was as yet absent from our lives.

    279

    Only his idea of tempting her with a fine house hadn't worked.

    280

    Only his profile existed in her quest.

    281

    Only his undercover agents contained such little information in his database.

    282

    Only Howie spoke to me.

    283

    Only I can, she replied.

    284

    Only if this is all I have to do.

    285

    Only if you make me a deal.

    286

    Only if you turn into a bad guy.

    287

    Only it's a different kind of love; not the sex kind.

    288

    Only low brush could grow in so small a space... no trees to prevent a vehicle from plunging into the forested mountain ranges below and beyond.

    289

    Only luck had kept her from joining her family today.

    290

    Only Nick noticed her standing in the door.

    291

    Only not being able to see with all the lights in my eyes.

    292

    Only now, she understood he was manipulating her.

    293

    Only one reason came to mind - because it wasn't dangerous.

    294

    Only Quinn seemed pleased with that result but when we tried to question him about it he refused to discuss the matter.

    295

    Only Quinn's notes, a few articles of discarded clothing and the recorder remained.

    296

    Only she wasn't going to lie down and give up like her mother.

    297

    Only someone as sweet as you would say that about the Dark One.

    298

    Only that he had repeatedly saved her life - at risk of his own, no less.

    299

    Only the first two numbers, 'cause it was my age.

    300

    Only the guys watching me will know I'm making the inquiries for you.

    301

    Only the machines kept his body working.

    302

    Only the reflection of the white snow and grey sky provided light once she stepped outside.

    303

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

    304

    Only they can't get a search warrant and no owners, no permission.

    305

    Only this time his lips left hers and wandered to her neck, sending her heartbeat into frenzy.

    306

    Only this time the path remained clear.

    307

    Only this was equal to a hundred thunderstorms.

    308

    Only those touched by fate had such vivid memories that entered her mind unbidden.

    309

    Only time will tell.

    310

    Only time would tell.

    311

    Only two forms and a body draped in black remained on the cliff side.

    312

    Only we really never broke the rules.

    313

    Only weeks remained until college started.

    314

    Only when he finished with her did he relent.

    315

    Only when he heard the soft, female wow did he realize who it was.

    316

    Only when he was gone did she let herself cry.

    317

    Or was it a nightmare only?

    318

    Our group conducted only three cases as we now called them and none were noteworthy.

    319

    Overjoyed at her response, he sat cross-legged, hunched over the only lifeline the thousands of innocent people around him had.

    320

    Perhaps it was best; hadn't Betsy and I made a similar decision to stop our activities only hours earlier?

    321

    Please let me wake up and find out this was only a dream.

    322

    Prior to its construction, a school bus could only pass over it empty, necessitating the children to alight, walk, and rejoin their transportation of the far side.

    323

    Remember, he only has a few minutes in his dream.

    324

    Right now she only had time for school.

    325

    School, which will begin tomorrow, is only a few days from summer recess.

    326

    Scraps from the table coaxed him out even during the daylight hours - but only when she stepped back into the house.

    327

    She counted the seconds in tense silence, waiting for the sound of an explosion, but the only sound was a car approaching from below.

    328

    She deserves to know, if only for her peace of mind.

    329

    She didn't know what he was, only that the ebb and flow of magic and energy between them felt … natural.

    330

    She didn't want to die; she wanted to be with him, even if only during the nights.

    331

    She dropped the wood and screamed before she realized it was only a young cat.

    332

    She dropped to her pillow, wondering if she was the only one who thought their exchange across the living room ended the quarrel.

    333

    She felt like she stood at the door of a plane fifteen thousand feet in the air getting ready to skydive, only she didn't remember packing a parachute.

    334

    She had to make it only a few more days.

    335

    She hesitated only a moment longer before bolting and disappearing up a set of stairs.

    336

    She hung in indecision for a long moment until she recalled that being in his arms was the only place she ever found peace.

    337

    She inclined her head to indicate the endless sand, broken only by an occasional yucca or chickweed.

    338

    She jerked it open only to have it pushed shut by an olive hand planted above her head.

    339

    She knew him to be merciless, and his words only reminded her how dangerous he was.

    340

    She knew she needed to leave him but couldn't find it in her to abandon the only place she'd ever felt safe.

    341

    She left him there to think about his actions - only he would probably stew on hers instead.

    342

    She looked and felt cool, and only part of the bruising was visible.

    343

    She only brought one book from home.

    344

    She only provides tips and assumes the authorities will use our call to investigate the crime and reach their own conclusions with legally obtained evidence.

    345

    She pulled out the cell he'd given her and called the only number in it.

    346

    She released his arm only to grab it again as one of the buggy wheels dropped into a pothole.

    347

    She saw killing in his future, but only in defense of his family.

    348

    She soft-peddled her answers, knowing to tell the truth would only upset him further.

    349

    She spoke until she drifted into an uncomfortable doze only to awake when he released her.

    350

    She stared at him through listless eyes, the gaze of a human awaiting only the final step in the transformation process.

    351

    She stared at the bath water, only mildly aware that it was losing its warmth.

    352

    She stopped at a stoplight, only for the car behind her to slide into her.

    353

    She struggled against him, not caring what he did to her now that he'd taken away her only real hope of leaving.

    354

    She tried to balance herself only to find herself toppling over and over and over down a stairwell.

    355

    She turned to me, her face only inches from mine.

    356

    She waited until Yancey came back in, but he only locked the door to the office and left, closing the door to the building.

    357

    She was his only relief, and the visions threatened to consume her.

    358

    She was simply lonely out there and he was good company - the only company.

    359

    She was the only one left now.

    360

    She went to lock her door, only to find the lock had been removed.

    361

    She will only utilize it for common good.

    362

    She wore only a long shirt to her knees that twisted to her stomach with her fall.

    363

    She'd been there twice before today and only knocked once for fear he'd answer.

    364

    She'd not only seen his death—she'd caused it!

    365

    She'd only seen men built like that in Dusty's organization and Talon's gang.

    366

    She'd spent five days with him, silently fighting him, only to realize there was nowhere else to go.

    367

    She'd stayed after she turned eighteen, because he was the only one who understood her strange gift.

    368

    Since his wife left, he's avoided relationships because he's afraid of giving his heart again only to drive another love away.

    369

    Sofia only half-listened as she led them down the stairs, anxious to get back to Damian and the place that had become her home.

    370

    Some people get to the top of the ladder, only to find that it's leaning against the wrong wall?

    371

    Sometimes that's the only way you can reach each other.

    372

    Speck's sector headquarters was abuzz with activity; the only private place to talk was the back porch overlooking a field of knee-high winter wheat facing a sun setting too early.

    373

    Still, he had been with Darcey only minutes before.

    374

    Still, that wasn't the only lingering side effect of her weekend with Brandon.

    375

    Sure, they had spent more time wandering on the ranch, but that was only because Brandon wanted to get her alone.

    376

    That left only a dozen mules and the bay.

    377

    That left only one thing.

    378

    That ridge was the only thing that had kept her from plunging over the edge... that and the man who was now glaring at her.

    379

    That was the only way to keep a relationship healthy.

    380

    That was the only way to make it through college.

    381

    The artificial breeze from the fan provided only temporary relief.

    382

    The back door was too far away for her rubbery legs, and the only alternative was the sink.

    383

    The battle got so bad that the only way to prevent the annihilation of every being in the universe was to divide the physical and divine worlds.

    384

    The boy was only four years old, and the girl was not yet six.

    385

    The braids not only held it out of her eyes, but thinned the bottom part down enough that it would lay loose across her shoulders and down her back without frizzing.

    386

    The break-in was only hours old and we knew the exact location from Howie's first visit.

    387

    The case was only hours old when Betsy spotted it giving us hope for the boy's recovery and the perpetrator's arrest.

    388

    The crowd had dispersed, so they turned toward the only hotel in town.

    389

    The dust storm might work in their favor, but it would only increase their discomfort.

    390

    The fact that she was uninterested only enticed him further.

    391

    The hair on the back of his neck had been standing for the past mile he'd walked, only he wasn't entirely certain why.

    392

    The house wasn't the only thing changing, though.

    393

    The hum around the Other assured Jule there was only one person in the alley without any sort of otherworldly power.

    394

    The Immortal who posed as her only friend and surgeon for years – who also nearly killed her – stood before her.

    395

    The list of his honors and achievements were exceeded only by his philanthropic connections and contributions.

    396

    The man in whose arms she lay was not only her husband by Immortal and demon laws but the Dark One who turned her into a demon.

    397

    The neighbors couldn't see into any of their windows, and they were far enough off the main road that the only traffic would be people coming to see them.

    398

    The ones only he knew that let him win.

    399

    The only alternatives were sedation or strapping her down.

    400

    The only business experience she had was the goat dairy, the non-functional farm and a horse ranch that had been in the fetal stage for years.

    401

    The only businesses I remember are the feed store and a dress shop named McGuire's Clothing.

    402

    The only danger I'm in is financial.

    403

    The only defense in that statement was honesty.

    404

    The only difference was that she wanted Yancey to kiss her, not Howard.

    405

    The only dreams I dreamed were about Martha.

    406

    The only explanation was that the Others weren't as ready to see him fail as they claimed to be.

    407

    The only gold is gonna be away in back, at the end.

    408

    The only item of information I'd withheld from Detective Jackson was that the assailant had asked me where everybody else was.

    409

    The only ones west of the Mississippi are Kansas and Oklahoma, and Arizona and New Mexico in the west.

    410

    The only other soul she'd touched had told her its life story in a blink of the eye, terrifying her.

    411

    The only person I recognized was the black FBI woman from our earlier meeting.

    412

    The only plus is it's near the hospital.

    413

    The only problem is that it all doesn't fit into your preconceived plans.

    414

    The only sound was the muffled sound of hooves in the sand and the occasional clink of a harness.

    415

    The only thing bothering me is you.

    416

    The only thing he can't do is teach you to deal.

    417

    The only thing he had to say to me was that I should get you or Julia to pick me up.

    418

    The only thing I'm attracted to is his job offer - and the idea of getting out of this gossipy little town.

    419

    The only thing she accomplished was cutting her hands on the sharp rocks.

    420

    The only thing she could've imagined happening was an ambush.

    421

    The only thing she had been proving lately was that she could successfully avoid him.

    422

    The only thing we don't know is the wedding date.

    423

    The only way for them to stop this is to kill you.

    424

    The only way he could have known was by asking Mrs. Hertz.

    425

    The only word she understood was Bordeaux.

    426

    The quiet purr that only emerged when they were alone rumbled gently in his chest.

    427

    The ride back was quiet, but the silence was a comfortable one, only becoming awkward when they reached the door of his house.

    428

    The rifle is for emergencies only.

    429

    The sand only moved one way, even when upside down.

    430

    The three of us packed for three days only, as if so limiting our clothing changes would force our return more quickly.

    431

    The tip covers only a few minutes, like she has to leave quickly, even though there must be more to be learned if she stayed.

    432

    The two spoke for only a few minutes, in the privacy of the kitchen.

    433

    The Vamp is here, and yet the only tear between realms was caused by Darian and is being pursued by the Watchers and Others, Damian said.

    434

    The whole thing only lasted a minute before the damn phone rang.

    435

    Their first and only exchange hadn't been pleasant.

    436

    Then again, she wasn't interested in the only type of relationship he had to offer.

    437

    Then you're the only one.

    438

    There followed only silence.

    439

    There might be a thousand explanations for what she had witnessed, but only one came to mind.

    440

    There was no window and the only ornaments were crucifixes on three walls.

    441

    There was only one answer, of course.

    442

    There was only one other customer and several baristas talking loudly behind the counter.

    443

    There was only one thing left to do.

    444

    There was only one thing that could make such a cold man so upset.

    445

    There was only one thing that she was sure of, and that was the fact that she had an overactive imagination.

    446

    There was only one way to find out... well, maybe two, but asking Sarah or Giddon was probably wasted effort.

    447

    There was passion and a deep longing she innately understood only she was able to fill.

    448

    There were only three bedrooms, and because she had to get up the earliest, she was the lucky one to have a room of her own - with the exception of Brandon, of course.

    449

    These conclusions only added to the frustration of not locating the nearby lair.

    450

    They are the only ones, Darkyn's growl was unusually soft, almost a purr.

    451

    They weren't good dreams, and the ones she showed him weren't the only ones in his head.

    452

    They'd dated only for a couple of months, and she knew he wasn't right for her the first date.

    453

    They're not raw, and I only eat them for dinner.

    454

    This one clung to him as if he were the only thing preventing her from being swept overboard.

    455

    This was only a few days ago, when we all lost our magic.

    456

    Those blue eyes were boring into her soul, searching for heaven only knew what.

    457

    Two hours later, after too much coffee and too much worrying, and only Bumpus to talk to I telephoned Howie.

    458

    We adults passed banalities back and forth while Howie opened wine, of an obvious expensive vintage us Gustefsons only admired.

    459

    We asked about buildings; there were none, only corn in the four fields separated by the cross roads.

    460

    We can only do so much.

    461

    We discussed the risks, but only briefly.

    462

    We drive home from a bar, like we all have done, only someone steps off a curb and we're ruined for life.

    463

    We gave only limited thought to the upcoming session as our pre wedding trip and plans took precedence in our hectic schedule.

    464

    We had eyes only for each other then.

    465

    We haven't discussed giving it up; only taking a short leave to have our baby.

    466

    We not only lacked an exact time, but the in the turmoil of Martha's delivery, Betsy didn't spot the announcement in her usual timely manner.

    467

    We only have a couple of days until the autumn equinox.

    468

    We only managed four sessions; one to an uninhabited area, another in open farm land but one we thought was interesting.

    469

    We only needed the precise time.

    470

    We scrambled our voices and used only secure lines.

    471

    We were alerted only by the feel of the screwdriver's slack penetration.

    472

    We'll only stay long enough to pack up Quinn's equipment and Shanghai Howie back here.

    473

    We're probably the only roommates in Tulsa with such old fashioned rules.

    474

    Well, Bordeaux was just the man to help her forget it - if he'd only dedicate his attentions to Darcie.

    475

    Well, it's only been a few weeks since we confessed.

    476

    What felt comfortable only moments ago now seemed bold and foolish.

    477

    What if he was the only person on the planet that could ever touch her again because of her wacky visions?

    478

    Whatever is between us is only getting stronger.

    479

    When only silence followed, she seemed to feel obligated to explain.

    480

    When you're only going to work for the summer, you can't be too picky.

    481

    Where Russell Cade was concerned, the only thing they seemed to have against him was the fact that he provided them no new topics.

    482

    While Daniel Brennan was aware of us as a group, he and I were the only ones that spoke directly.

    483

    While only three feet apart, the space felt immeasurable.

    484

    While she couldn't shake the sense of doom that followed her from the visions, she felt more normal, less afraid, at the thought that she'd be rejoining the rest of humanity for a shopping trip with the girls, even if only for a morning.

    485

    While she truly loved nursing, she too reveled in our accomplishments, second only to her unborn child.

    486

    Why is it that you can only remember my first name when we're making love?

    487

    With that information and if he doesn't change his license plate, it's only a matter of time until we get him!

    488

    Would she spend eternity like this, doomed to knowing only the dark secrets of those around her?

    489

    Yeah, and you're the only one he shares them with - and you won't tell.

    490

    Years of only remembered dreams but now the real act is so much better than fantasying!

    491

    You are the only innocent soul in Hell.

    492

    You are the only person who can do that.

    493

    You become the only person in the universe that can influence him.

    494

    You know that's the only reason you're not locked in your room for the rest of your life.

    495

    You may GO down, but you can only CLIMB up.

    496

    You only have to agree once.

    497

    You two are the only people I trust.

    498

    You will only hunger for me.

    499

    You're the only one.

    500

    You've only been strangled nearly to death and gone through a terrible scare.
