Sarah in A Sentence

    1

    A few hours later, Sarah crept into his room to check on him.

    2

    A simple choker adorned her neck, a diamond tennis bracelet her wrist and she wore silver strappy heels he thought he had seen on Sarah.

    3

    After a few minutes, he heard Sarah behind him, though something sounded strange.

    4

    After breakfast she started the laundry while Sarah and Tammy watched a morning children's program.

    5

    After composing himself, he found Sarah's room and knocked on the door.

    6

    After dinner Sarah said, I'm going into town to buy a new clutch for tomorrow.

    7

    After dinner, Connor and Sarah said goodnight.

    8

    After dinner, Jackson and Elisabeth insisted they clear and make coffee while Connor and Sarah visited with his family.

    9

    After lunch, Giddon's offer to help Lisa with the dishes was met by a raised eyebrow from Sarah.

    10

    And Sarah was involved?

    11

    Are you able to run, Sarah?

    12

    As Connor headed back to the stairs, Sarah questioned where he was going.

    13

    As he headed for the door, Sarah called, "Don't forget tomorrow night's the full moon."

    14

    As he refilled the human's glass he continued, Why don't you have a few more drinks, make yourself some food; I'm sure Sarah stocked the fridge with all your favorites.

    15

    As he walked to the door leading to the basement, Sarah called after him, "Thank you."

    16

    As Sarah predicted, he possessed incredible self-control.

    17

    As the family climbed the stairs with Sarah, Jackson said, "I can take care of this, perhaps you should see to a drink of a different kind for yourself."

    18

    At the exact moment they both said, "We can never tell Sarah."

    19

    At times he couldn't reach, and it would be up to Sarah.

    20

    Both Sarah and Tammy were watching her.

    21

    By day, the mystery lurked in every look exchanged between Sarah and Giddon.

    22

    By the next day she was ready to resume her normal activities, but Sarah insisted it was Saturday and she should take some time to enjoy herself.

    23

    Christ, she could give Sarah a run for her money.

    24

    Connor and Sarah seemed to be enjoying themselves.

    25

    Connor and Sarah stood on the landing.

    26

    Connor and Sarah turned in early.

    27

    Connor and Sarah were cuddling in front of the fire.

    28

    Connor arrived, sat next to Sarah and kissed her.

    29

    Connor came down to the kitchen looking for Sarah.

    30

    Connor entered and Sarah hugged and kissed him.

    31

    Connor entered the room and Sarah ran to him, giving him a hug and peck on the lips.

    32

    Connor frowned at Sarah.

    33

    Connor had been with many women, even lived with one for a year, yet he had never met anyone he had connected with like Sarah.

    34

    Connor interjected, Sarah, he's right.

    35

    Connor laughed, stood and kissed Sarah.

    36

    Connor led Sarah out of the kitchen.

    37

    Connor recoiled back to Sarah.

    38

    Connor slept soundly, and Sarah looked drawn, yet not as tense.

    39

    Connor turned to Sarah.

    40

    Connor yawned, "I'm ready for bed, you coming Sarah?"

    41

    Could do both, but Sarah would call me a glutton.

    42

    Did Sarah tell you how long we have been living together?

    43

    Do you want me to tell Sarah I changed my mind?

    44

    Don't start with me, Sarah.

    45

    Elisabeth and Sarah joined him.

    46

    Elisabeth appraised Jackson then Sarah.

    47

    Elisabeth brought a present for you Sarah.

    48

    Elisabeth conducted a lecture on day five, so Jackson did his best to entertain Sarah.

    49

    Elisabeth perched on the arm of the sofa next to Sarah.

    50

    Elisabeth told her about Sarah and how they would never hear the end of it if she knew what had happened here.

    51

    Elisabeth won the game and when they finished Sarah and Connor said goodnight.

    52

    Elisabeth, Sarah needs to see you, excuse us.

    53

    Everything Sarah does is over the top.

    54

    Frederick appeared to be taken aback both by the story, and the speed at which Sarah relayed it.

    55

    Get out of my way, Sarah.

    56

    Giddon immediately became absorbed in a book, and Sarah worked on a sweater she was crocheting.

    57

    Had he heard her conversation with Sarah?

    58

    He and Sarah had done far more for her than could have been expected.

    59

    He and Sarah laughed.

    60

    He approached Sarah and held her by the throat.

    61

    He called for Sarah, who quickly appeared at the top of the stairs with Connor.

    62

    He couldn't go home and let Sarah and Connor see how tentative his composure was.

    63

    He dressed and went into Sarah's room.

    64

    He found Sarah and Connor on the sofa in the holding cell.

    65

    He found Sarah in the drawing room, again, right where he had left her, despondence across her face.

    66

    He found Sarah in the kitchen.

    67

    He glanced up at Sarah.

    68

    He glared at him with his face barely an inch away and hissed, Let's get one thing straight, Skippy, Sarah is the best woman you and I will ever know.

    69

    He grieved for years and Sarah worried for a time that he might find someone to stake him.

    70

    He had been hoping Sarah would be unsuccessful.

    71

    He had nearly nodded off when he heard Sarah come home.

    72

    He had not realized until this moment how important it was that Sarah and Elisabeth like each other.

    73

    He handed Sarah hers, sat close, and put his arm around her, planting a gentle kiss on her temple.

    74

    He hated all this emotional nonsense, and had it been anyone but Sarah, he would have made a hasty retreat and stayed away until the waterworks passed.

    75

    He kissed Sarah's cheek and patted Connor on the back.

    76

    He knew Sarah would be listening in somewhere, and when he entered the drawing room, he had proof.

    77

    He led the remaining man to Sarah.

    78

    He looked to Sarah, who had also succumbed to the craving.

    79

    He never allowed anyone but Sarah to see that side of him, and she often felt sorry for his inability to let the rest of the world in.

    80

    He practically flew down the stairs, but didn't make it out the door before Sarah asked where he was going.

    81

    He regarded Sarah then Elisabeth, shaking his head slowly.

    82

    He returned a few hours later, made a drink, and went to the kitchen where Sarah had started making breakfast for Connor.

    83

    He rose slowly and headed downstairs to find Sarah on the sofa.

    84

    He sat next to Sarah, giving her a peck on the cheek.

    85

    He shook the newspaper and said nothing more until Sarah announced that supper was ready.

    86

    He smiled at Sarah who was staring, slack jawed.

    87

    He suspected Standish knew Sarah's secret all along and only used her to turn him.

    88

    He wanted to stay home in case the human got out of line, yet Sarah had insisted he leave for the night.

    89

    His feelings towards Sarah resembled those toward his older sister, Emily, whom he idolized as a caregiver, teacher, and confident.

    90

    His grimace produced a chuckle from Sarah.

    91

    How did you feel about Sarah yesterday?

    92

    How much did you tell Sarah about our trip?

    93

    How much had Sarah heard?

    94

    I also brought something for Sarah.

    95

    I can't lose her, Sarah.

    96

    I figured you and Sarah would be the only ones to notice.

    97

    I heard you talking to Sarah tonight.

    98

    I love you both, Sarah.

    99

    I think he's hoping Sarah will turn him someday.

    100

    I think you would need to ask Sarah.

    101

    I would like to ask everyone to raise their glass in a toast to my sister and her new husband, Sarah and Connor; a pair who complement each other perfectly.

    102

    I'll have Sarah wait until then to come back down.

    103

    I'm sure Sarah has something prepared on the off chance you'll be there.

    104

    If anything, she might think you had plastic surgery to be on the same playing field as Sarah.

    105

    If Giddon and Sarah were both in town, then she was alone.

    106

    If Jackson was Adonis, then Sarah was Aphrodite.

    107

    If Sarah suspected that she already knew what was going on and looked the other way, why not welcome her into the family?

    108

    If Sarah thought she understood Yancey's moods, she was mistaken.

    109

    In 1796, he extracted fluid from the pox on the hand of a dairymaid named Sarah Nelmes—who had caught the condition from her cow Blossom—and injected the fluid into a cut in eight-year-old James Phipps's arm.

    110

    Is Sarah going to kill me?

    111

    It was a note from Sarah.

    112

    It was hard to believe sweet little Sarah would be involved with anything so sinister.

    113

    Jackson and Elisabeth took turns sitting with Sarah; she seemed to be reconciling herself to their new reality.

    114

    Jackson burst through the door with the girl in his arms screaming, Sarah!

    115

    Jackson chuckled, thinking he should have put Sarah on this from the start.

    116

    Jackson could not bring himself to return Sarah's gaze.

    117

    Jackson explained Sarah's wishes on the way to the bar.

    118

    Jackson finished playing and looked up at Sarah.

    119

    Jackson fixed his eyes on the ceiling, bracing for the lecture about responsibility that was sure to come from Sarah.

    120

    Jackson found Sarah in the kitchen making breakfast.

    121

    Jackson found Sarah sitting in the drawing room sipping coffee.

    122

    Jackson glared at him as Sarah said, "Jackson is having a little trouble deciding what to wear on his date."

    123

    Jackson heard a noise and motioned to Sarah to silence herself.

    124

    Jackson held Elisabeth's finger and bellowed, "Sarah, get in here, now!"

    125

    Jackson held Sarah's arm as she turned to leave.

    126

    Jackson held Sarah's hand as a gesture of comfort.

    127

    Jackson hunted him down, beat him mercilessly, and then threatened to stake him if he ever went near Sarah again.

    128

    Jackson knew Sarah would talk when she felt ready.

    129

    Jackson looked apologetically at Connor who rolled his eyes, and said, Yes Sarah, he knew.

    130

    Jackson returned to the drawing room to find Sarah exactly where he left her.

    131

    Jackson sat at the piano while Sarah found her usual chair, and grabbed a throw pillow to hug.

    132

    Jackson took a step back in shock, then noticed Connor and Sarah across the room laughing hysterically.

    133

    Jackson was always ready to influence people, yet Sarah insisted they use that as a last resort.

    134

    Jackson was speaking with some rich blowhard when he noticed Elisabeth make her way to Connor and Sarah.

    135

    Jackson was thankful Sarah and Connor were there.

    136

    Jackson wondered if Elisabeth had made her mother aware that Sarah didn't know about the diamond.

    137

    Jackson's anger stemmed more from the fact that he wanted to ask about Elisabeth's frame of mind, rather than from Sarah going behind his back.

    138

    Jesus Sarah, why would you do that without asking me?

    139

    Jesus Sarah, you nearly gave me a heart attack.

    140

    Let's see what Sarah has to say first.

    141

    Lisa asked as she turned to look at Sarah.

    142

    Lisa glanced sharply at Sarah, a slow flush invading her face.

    143

    Lisa rose from her chair and glanced down at Sarah.

    144

    Lisa sat down and accepted the bowl full of scrambled eggs Sarah passed to her.

    145

    Marie and Frederick consumed two vials each, leaving the majority, which Sarah and Jackson greedily consumed.

    146

    Maybe it would hurt Sarah's feelings less if she simply told the truth.

    147

    Maybe next time Sarah went shopping... and Yancey wasn't at home.

    148

    Maybe Sarah or Giddon would take her to the little country store where the dirt road joined the highway.

    149

    Maybe Sarah suspected that Giddon felt sorry for her.

    150

    Maybe Sarah told him she would protect him, but still it was pretty ballsy.

    151

    Maybe Sarah was making up a story to cover up for Yancey.

    152

    Maybe Sarah was right and he should give Elisabeth a chance to explain why she let this happen.

    153

    Miss Sarah, Mr. Jackson, are you home?

    154

    Most of Sarah's boyfriends gave him a wide berth and avoided contact at all cost.

    155

    Much as she liked Sarah, the idea of Giddon's displeasure would prohibit any such intent.

    156

    Next week Sarah and Connor are going to his parent's house in Maine.

    157

    No one was in the kitchen, but a note from Sarah explained that she and Tammy had gone to town shopping again.

    158

    No one would believe two people as attractive as Sarah and Jackson could be in a platonic relationship, so it kept the neighbors from gossiping.

    159

    No one would ever be good enough for Sarah in Jackson's eyes, however, as far as boyfriends went, this guy seemed pretty amiable.

    160

    Nonsense, you're not putting us out, but you're more than welcome to use the phone... and please call me Sarah.

    161

    On the other hand, if Sarah was telling the truth, there was another side to Giddon - a loyal brother.

    162

    Once Sarah left the room, Jackson asked, "What made you decide to stay?"

    163

    Once the bags were all filled Sarah removed the needle from Elisabeth's arm.

    164

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

    165

    Or was it something else that troubled Sarah?

    166

    Really Sarah, can you honestly say you don't taste the plastic bag?

    167

    Sarah abruptly stopped talking and smiled meekly.

    168

    Sarah allowed her hope to sink in before continuing.

    169

    Sarah almost started to press the issue, but thought better of it.

    170

    Sarah and Connor cracked up.

    171

    Sarah and Connor returned after about an hour.

    172

    Sarah and Connor rushed to the kitchen.

    173

    Sarah and Connor sat down, but Elisabeth stood at the piano.

    174

    Sarah and Connor sat in the drawing room when Elisabeth was ready to leave.

    175

    Sarah and Connor stood above, gawking at her with a mix of terror and awe.

    176

    Sarah and Connor were discussing whether or not to cancel Thanksgiving with his family when Jackson returned.

    177

    Sarah and Connor were in her room when they heard Jackson burst through the door.

    178

    Sarah and Giddon both seemed content with the arrangement, but she felt guilty about the money she earned... or didn't earn.

    179

    Sarah and Jackson never treated them like employees.

    180

    Sarah and Jackson spent the night becoming acquainted as well as discussing plans for escape.

    181

    Sarah and Jackson stayed a safe distance."You are not here to kill us?"

    182

    Sarah and Jackson were instructed to drink from the goblet.

    183

    Sarah and Jackson's bedrooms were at opposite ends of the long hallway.

    184

    Sarah and Tammy were putting up groceries when Lisa announced she was going to take a walk.

    185

    Sarah apparently hadn't noticed the car.

    186

    Sarah asked the question with genuine interest.

    187

    Sarah asked, "How will we feed?"

    188

    Sarah asked, "What's her name?"

    189

    Sarah blew out a breath.

    190

    Sarah broke down weeping at the hopelessness, and as much as Jackson desired to comfort her, he could not find the strength.

    191

    Sarah broke in, "Elisabeth has been telling us about your visit to New Orleans, as well."

    192

    Sarah broke in, "He might have a point you know."

    193

    Sarah broke the silence with a tenuous giggle that evoked a twisted smile from Jackson.

    194

    Sarah brought Elisabeth up to speed about the Halloween gala and asked if she would like to help plan it.

    195

    Sarah came home as she was putting the tuna salad into the refrigerator.

    196

    Sarah can prepare things here.

    197

    Sarah Carrington rounded the corner to the foyer and scowled at him.

    198

    Sarah chirped, There's a frittata here.

    199

    Sarah chuckled through her tears.

    200

    Sarah continued her protest until Jackson admonished her, "What have we said about whining in front of company, you know it's not polite."

    201

    Sarah continued her story, turning to Jackson, "The only thing missing… you weren't there to give me away."

    202

    Sarah could never understand why; she guessed it was some macho alpha male thing, but Jackson would occasionally go out looking for trouble.

    203

    Sarah couldn't hold up any longer.

    204

    Sarah couldn't understand her desire to be alone, but she accepted it.

    205

    Sarah counted the full bags.

    206

    Sarah crossed her arms.

    207

    Sarah crouched to the floor and timidly put her hand into Elisabeth's fur.

    208

    Sarah ended the call with, Ok I'll call you later.

    209

    Sarah enjoyed watching him play almost as much as listening.

    210

    Sarah entered the dining room.

    211

    Sarah entered the panty to find him drinking straight from a bottle.

    212

    Sarah entered the room carrying a pan of steaming biscuits.

    213

    Sarah eyed her with sympathy.

    214

    Sarah fell into Connor's arms.

    215

    Sarah felt their relationship changing.

    216

    Sarah felt unsure about running at first, however Jackson held strong to his conviction that death would be preferable to living as a minion for a madman.

    217

    Sarah floated down the stairs with Connor in tow.

    218

    Sarah floated into the room as Jackson took Elisabeth's coat.

    219

    Sarah gasped and clasped her hands to her chest as Frederick lowered his head.

    220

    Sarah gave Giddon a stern look and then returned her attention to Lisa.

    221

    Sarah gave him a stern look.

    222

    Sarah gave him the thumbs up sign.

    223

    Sarah glanced up with a short laugh.

    224

    Sarah glared at him.

    225

    Sarah grabbed him, shaking his shoulders.

    226

    Sarah grabbed his hand.

    227

    Sarah greeted them and made introductions.

    228

    Sarah groaned, "Connor's down there."

    229

    Sarah groaned, He's such a pain.

    230

    Sarah gushed, It was so romantic.

    231

    Sarah gushed, We went to the most amazing Spa.

    232

    Sarah had asked Elisabeth to help with pies, so they spent the better part of the day in the kitchen.

    233

    Sarah had fallen in love with him in 1912.

    234

    Sarah had left her door open so Jackson could hear fairly well.

    235

    Sarah had never seen him like this, never thought she would.

    236

    Sarah had not eaten anything since the party, but they convinced her to join them.

    237

    Sarah had not seen him like this since Emily died.

    238

    Sarah had only seen him cry twice through all the years.

    239

    Sarah had pouted for a bit about not being able to wear her rings, but recovered quickly.

    240

    Sarah had to convince him not to turn Emily.

    241

    Sarah handed him his two glasses.

    242

    Sarah has fangs and has to be careful not to crush me whenever we hug 24/7.

    243

    Sarah has news; she'll come barging in here.

    244

    Sarah headed to Jackson and upon seeing the landscape said, That's beautiful.

    245

    Sarah heard Jackson and slowly unfurled herself from a sleeping Connor.

    246

    Sarah heard Jackson come in and jumped out of bed to get a report.

    247

    Sarah heard the piano playing very softly as she started down the stairs to make breakfast,.

    248

    Sarah held a hand to her chest.

    249

    Sarah held him while he sobbed uncontrollably.

    250

    Sarah held his hand.

    251

    Sarah held his shoulders.

    252

    Sarah held Jackson's hand as they discussed the reality of their situation.

    253

    Sarah hugged her son and then Lisa.

    254

    Sarah hurried to kitchen and returned with a bowl.

    255

    Sarah influenced you the night of your showing.

    256

    Sarah inspected the pumpkins that were finished.

    257

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

    258

    Sarah jumped up and down waving her left hand.

    259

    Sarah jumped up and down, clapping.

    260

    Sarah jumped up and exclaimed, "You have feelings for this woman!"

    261

    Sarah jumped up, took both her hands and screeched, "Come with me!"

    262

    Sarah kissed him on the cheek.

    263

    Sarah knew better than to admonish him for his threat.

    264

    Sarah laughed for the second time today.

    265

    Sarah laughed out loud.

    266

    Sarah lay on the bed beside him and put her head on his chest.

    267

    Sarah let out a groan and started eating.

    268

    Sarah loved a project; he could see the wheels turning.

    269

    Sarah loves you, why would she kill you?

    270

    Sarah made a face.

    271

    Sarah made an excuse of putting Tammy down for a nap and left them alone.

    272

    Sarah made her forget the attack and think she had an accident.

    273

    Sarah managed to momentarily lift the silent pall suffusing the room.

    274

    Sarah met Consuelo on the stairs and kissed her cheek.

    275

    Sarah met him at the base.

    276

    Sarah met him at the door.

    277

    Sarah met them at the door and introduced herself, then turned to Elisabeth and grabbed her hand, Ahhhh!

    278

    Sarah met them at the door, her puzzled gaze going from Giddon to Lisa.

    279

    Sarah mirrored his shocked countenance.

    280

    Sarah mused, "Maybe the powers that be want to make sure you can't hurt her."

    281

    Sarah must have taken it.

    282

    Sarah never let anyone help her cook.

    283

    Sarah nodded, obviously still unsure about the situation.

    284

    Sarah offered a great deal of help here.

    285

    Sarah opened the door and said, "Good-morning."

    286

    Sarah opened the passenger door, and found a beautifully wrapped shoebox on the seat.

    287

    Sarah peeked around the door.

    288

    Sarah pinched her bottom lip with her thumb and index finger.

    289

    Sarah pinched his cheek.

    290

    Sarah plated up the eggs.

    291

    Sarah pointed to the piano.

    292

    Sarah prepared an elaborate breakfast in the morning.

    293

    Sarah prepared stuffed crown roast with vegetables and homemade applesauce for dinner.

    294

    Sarah put a hand to her mouth.

    295

    Sarah put her hand on his back.

    296

    Sarah put herself between him and the door.

    297

    Sarah ran to him.

    298

    Sarah rarely fed on humans anymore.

    299

    Sarah really does want me to carve all those pumpkins, doesn't she?

    300

    Sarah related whole story, ending with, "Never thought I'd see the day that man would have a moral compass, let alone be one."

    301

    Sarah removed the towel from her hair and shook out her locks.

    302

    Sarah replied amiably, ignoring his obvious annoyance.

    303

    Sarah rose and kissed her.

    304

    Sarah said nothing as she walked away.

    305

    Sarah said, "Listen, can you hear that?"

    306

    Sarah said, "That would be wonderful, you sure you don't mind?"

    307

    Sarah said, I thought we would make individual stone pies tonight.

    308

    Sarah said, Something's come up and I need to stay home today.

    309

    Sarah said, Your mother is lovely Elisabeth.

    310

    Sarah sat in the drawing room sipping coffee when Jackson and Elisabeth were ready to leave.

    311

    Sarah sat on the arm of the chair and hugged him.

    312

    Sarah sat on the counter with one leg on either side of Connor, kissing him.

    313

    Sarah screeched and hugged her.

    314

    Sarah searched her friend's eyes, with a tear-stained face.

    315

    Sarah seemed confused as well.

    316

    Sarah shook her head and rolled her eyes as she continued her needlework.

    317

    Sarah shook her head.

    318

    Sarah shot him a look that clearly meant, 'Back off.'

    319

    Sarah shrieked, "Is that really how you see me?"

    320

    Sarah shrugged, continuing her work.

    321

    Sarah sighed and tilted her head up to him.

    322

    Sarah sighed, "Could you please show a little tolerance?"

    323

    Sarah silently gave thanks that Connor had left.

    324

    Sarah silently watched her son with what appeared to be amused interest.

    325

    Sarah skated into the kitchen, kissing them both, "Hi, look at you busy beavers."

    326

    Sarah smacked him and headed to the kitchen to plan her menu.

    327

    Sarah snickered and Lisa glanced up in time to see Yancey shoot his mother a warning look.

    328

    Sarah sniffed, and Conner kissed her forehead.

    329

    Sarah stared at him as if to say, are you out of your mind?

    330

    Sarah started putting up the groceries.

    331

    Sarah started to pick up clothes and put them back in the cavernous, walk-in closet.

    332

    Sarah stood and they headed to the holding room, hand in hand.

    333

    Sarah stood directly in front of it.

    334

    Sarah stood next to her.

    335

    Sarah stood, dumfounded, with a hand touching her cheek.

    336

    Sarah stood, took his face in her hands, and kissed him on the forehead.

    337

    Sarah studied the situation with wise eyes.

    338

    Sarah suggested a game of Scrabble after dinner.

    339

    Sarah talked endlessly about her flower garden, the weather and anything else that came to her mind.

    340

    Sarah threw her arms around her.

    341

    Sarah threw her head back laughing.

    342

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

    343

    Sarah told me you aren't really related.

    344

    Sarah took her hand.

    345

    Sarah took on a tone of desperation.

    346

    Sarah trudged to the basement, shadowed with trepidation.

    347

    Sarah tucked her feet beneath her.

    348

    Sarah turned to Connor with fear-filled eyes.

    349

    Sarah turned to Lisa with a smile.

    350

    Sarah usually made her beaus understand that vampirism isn't all it is cracked up to be, and she would not wish this life on anyone.

    351

    Sarah was a hopeless romantic, constantly searching for her 'soul mate'.

    352

    Sarah was asking Elisabeth about her art when she stopped mid-sentence, spotting her feet.

    353

    Sarah was determined to finish it before Elisabeth left for the full moon.

    354

    Sarah was his mother, so he would be respectful, and if he wasn't she could always walk away.

    355

    Sarah was in the kitchen when Jackson returned home.

    356

    Sarah was in the kitchen.

    357

    Sarah was listening downstairs, and when she knew they were in the music room, she grabbed Connor's hand.

    358

    Sarah was right about one thing.

    359

    Sarah was sitting in the drawing room waiting when they returned.

    360

    Sarah was unable to move, unable to believe her ears.

    361

    Sarah was waiting for Connor when she heard strange noises coming from Jackson's room.

    362

    Sarah was waiting when he returned home.

    363

    Sarah was watching him intently.

    364

    Sarah wasted no time beginning her third degree.

    365

    Sarah watched him climb the stairs while tears ran down her face.

    366

    Sarah waved a hand at Lisa, watching Giddon intently.

    367

    Sarah wore a pained expression that caused Jackson to cringe.

    368

    Sarah would do whatever Giddon said, because he was her son... and Tammy had no choice.

    369

    Sarah would say, "Seen one orange leaf, seen 'em all."

    370

    Sarah would surely be down soon.

    371

    Sarah yelled, "Jackson!" then glared at Elisabeth as if to say, 'Do something about him'.

    372

    Sarah yelled, Bring Elisabeth for dinner on Saturday.

    373

    Sarah, can I borrow your Lexus?

    374

    Sarah, give the guy a break.

    375

    Sarah, I truly believe Connor is the Yang to your Yin.

    376

    Sarah, is there something else you want us to do while you're here?

    377

    Sarah, please, cut me some slack here.

    378

    Sarah, what did you do with the painting?

    379

    Sarah, what's the matter?

    380

    Sarah, you want to go first, or shall I?

    381

    Sarah, your stock dealings have outperformed the market every year since 1933, of course you're going to be investigated.

    382

    Sarah's expression went from surprise to joy in the blink of an eye.

    383

    Sarah's eyes were wide as saucers and Jackson knew he had no choice.

    384

    Sarah's face assumed a serious cast as she added, "You're also my hero."

    385

    Sarah's fear rooted her.

    386

    Sarah's gentle voice was so much like the mother she lost.

    387

    Sarah's shoes wouldn't even fit in his place, and there is no point in them buying something else.

    388

    Sarah's smile broadened until it crinkled her eyes.

    389

    Sarah's smile spread far as it would go.

    390

    Sarah's tone had an anxious quality, and Giddon's expression was much too stern for the situation.

    391

    Sarah's voice called down the hall.

    392

    She chuckled, "Sarah and Connor would have to leave."

    393

    She could see Jackson didn't want to play, but she really wanted to hear him, had a feeling Sarah would win in the end.

    394

    She curtseyed as she finished and Sarah moaned, "You guys are awful."

    395

    She dressed hurriedly in the clothes Sarah had loaned her and ran fingers through her hair, wishing she had a comb.

    396

    She dropped Sarah's hands and looked up, spotting Jackson.

    397

    She finished her breakfast with little conversation and saw Sarah and Tammy off to church.

    398

    She glanced down at Sarah.

    399

    She had already invited Sarah and Connor.

    400

    She headed straight for him, so he assumed Sarah hadn't made contact or was unable to influence her.

    401

    She made no move to release him, "I am Sarah Carrington."

    402

    She patted Sarah on the shoulder.

    403

    She raised her face to look at him and caught Sarah and Connie making a hasty exit from the room.

    404

    She slid into the chair across from Tammy, and Sarah sat down at the other end of the table.

    405

    She took Sarah's hands, probably thanking her for attending.

    406

    She took the receiver from Sarah.

    407

    She was intruding, but it soon became obvious that Sarah wasn't going to sit down until everyone else was seated.

    408

    She was staring at the cake, trying to find some fond memory to shove aside the pictures in her mind when Sarah walked into the room.

    409

    She was talking with her mother and Sarah, but must have felt his gaze because she peered at him quizzically.

    410

    She was tempted to try, but both he and Sarah would probably be watching.

    411

    She would have liked Elisabeth as much as Sarah did.

    412

    Skippy's up there defiling Sarah and I'm the pig.

    413

    Speaking of Sarah, she wants you to come for dinner Saturday.

    414

    Sure, you and Sarah can cook me a nice dinner and we'll break out a bottle of Cristal.

    415

    Surely Sarah and Tammy weren't involved, but did they know?

    416

    Tammy and Sarah were eating a snack on the patio.

    417

    Tammy and Sarah were in the kitchen when she returned, and Tammy was standing in a chair ripping the cover off some chocolate chip cookies.

    418

    Tammy could swim almost as well as Lisa, but Sarah couldn't swim at all, confessing unabashed that she was afraid of the water.

    419

    Tammy was in the back seat asleep, so she carefully unbuckled her and carried her to the house while Sarah brought in the shopping sacks.

    420

    Tears were streaming down Sarah's face as she kissed Connor.

    421

    That evening, Sarah made a pasta dinner and they all chatted amiably.

    422

    The day before Thanksgiving, Sarah assigned everyone their duties.

    423

    The door was open; Sarah wouldn't need to lock it for some time.

    424

    The doorbell rang and she felt a rush of panic when she heard Sarah answer the door.

    425

    The following day, Sarah and Elisabeth went to work on the studio with a vengeance.

    426

    The full moon had always been a time that Sarah and Jackson spent together.

    427

    The humor in Sarah's eyes was immediately replaced with concern - and then a guarded expression.

    428

    The most important thing you need to know is that Sarah has never killed anyone.

    429

    The only sound Sarah had made throughout the ordeal was an occasional sniff, as she attempted to wipe away the product of her distress with the back of her hand.

    430

    The place was quiet and secluded, and Sarah would be a sweet person to work for.

    431

    The reason Sarah always chased this now made sense.

    432

    The three sat in the kitchenette of the holding cell since Sarah refused to leave Connor, even for a minute.

    433

    The three sat, Sarah inquiring about their day.

    434

    The two were at the door and Sarah crooned, Jackson promised he would play for us tonight.

    435

    The wolf licked her muzzle then approached Sarah and sat in front of her staring.

    436

    The women were in Sarah's shoe closet, which was larger than most bedrooms.

    437

    The worst part is Sarah doesn't want it.

    438

    Then he turned his attention to Sarah.

    439

    Then you had some water, a few steaks, then held court with Sarah and Connor.

    440

    There could be a number of reasons that Sarah would welcome her as a daughter-in-law, not the least of which was the goings-on down that path.

    441

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

    442

    They both looked up at the same time, hearing a loud racket coming from Sarah's room.

    443

    They exchanged hellos and Connor asked, "Sarah around?"

    444

    They had accomplished quite a bit the previous day, and Sarah felt comfortable about being away for the next two days.

    445

    They had been at it for a few hours when Connor and Sarah returned home.

    446

    They had been in New England for a mere three months, but Sarah had fallen fast and hard for Connor.

    447

    They made their way into the house and greeted Sarah and Connor.

    448

    They pulled up in front of the house, and Sarah met them at the door.

    449

    They rejoined the group as Sarah passed out dessert and coffee.

    450

    They went in for dinner to find that Sarah had kept to her promise.

    451

    They were both quiet for a moment, and then Sarah said, "Will you please give me a chance to prove that this isn't as bad as you think."

    452

    They were still in bed when Sarah and Connor returned.

    453

    This felt so different than all the years of just him and Sarah.

    454

    This is between you and Sarah.

    455

    This is going to be tough, he thought as he entered Sarah's fridge to get some swill.

    456

    Throwing on some jeans, a T-shirt and a pair of Nikes, he decided to take a walk, but first, he would check on Sarah.

    457

    Thursday night, Sarah, Connor, and Jackson were having dinner when Jackson said, "Sarah, I need you to do something for me tomorrow night."

    458

    To Sarah and Connor, a match made in heaven.

    459

    Was Sarah concerned about the money?

    460

    Was Sarah encouraging a relationship between them?

    461

    Was that what Sarah had found so amusing the first day - the fact that she hadn't melted under Yancey's stern gaze?

    462

    We have been through more together than you could possibly imagine, and through it all Sarah has been my rock, and I hers.

    463

    Were it not for Sarah, he would have.

    464

    What does Sarah say?

    465

    What she expected to see when she turned was Sarah's white Plymouth, but the car that stopped before the house was Allen's red Eagle Talon.

    466

    When he had finished, Sarah waited a moment then brought her hands together.

    467

    When Jackson returned home, Sarah and Connor were sitting down for dinner.

    468

    When Lisa emerged from her room dressed in casuals, Sarah looked up and smiled.

    469

    When Sarah and Connor entered the drawing room, Jackson and Elisabeth were sitting on the sofa reading.

    470

    When Sarah asked why, he answered, "I don't know, I guess I'm running out of things to say."

    471

    When Sarah learned of her plan to go to the house and pick up some things, she insisted there was no reason to stay.

    472

    When Sarah returned to Jackson's room he still sat at the window.

    473

    When Sarah returned with the groceries, she found Jackson in the holding room making the bed.

    474

    When Sarah returned, cases of liquor were stacked by the door.

    475

    When she reached the top of the stairs, Sarah panicked, seeing Jackson alone and in a fit of rage.

    476

    When the couple returned, they heard the music, and Sarah said, "He's not taking this very well, is he?"

    477

    When the kitchen door opened suddenly, they jerked apart and turned guilty faces to Sarah, whose expression made it clear she had seen and comprehended their actions.

    478

    When they entered the kitchen, Sarah ran to Elisabeth and drew her into a bear hug.

    479

    When they had finished dinner and were having port back in the drawing room, Jackson asked, "Now that you've seen Sarah's shoe closet, would you like to see the rest of the house?"

    480

    When they had finished their breakfast, Connor said, "Sarah, I'd like to talk to Jackson alone for a minute if you don't mind."

    481

    While helping Sarah prepare mimosas in the kitchen, she said, "I'm afraid Jackson may have messed with Deborah's head."

    482

    While Jackson made drinks, Sarah introduced Connor who was thinking, cripes another one.

    483

    Without further argument, Sarah and Tammy left, and Lisa was alone.

    484

    Without looking back, she dashed to the house, past a startled Sarah, and then to her room.

    485

    Yeah, Sarah recently told him.

    486

    Yep. Sarah and Connor are going to Maine today and we have a date in my music room, remember?

    487

    Yes, I do… when you told me you planned to marry Sarah; my foremost concern was how difficult your death would be for her.

    488

    Yet someone had told him that she was working for Sarah.

    489

    You and Sarah need to make it work and you're never going to get there if you don't talk to her.

    490

    You better stay away from Sarah, she'll kill you.

    491

    You didn't have to do that, Sarah.

    492

    You have to meet Sarah and Connor.

    493

    You know, I can't help thinking, if you were human, I would be going through the very hell Sarah is experiencing right now.

    494

    You know, Sarah was very kind to me.

    495

    You know, you will never find a better woman than Sarah.

    496

    You okay with Sarah drawing her blood?

    497

    You okay with that, Sarah?

    498

    You said I fell in love with who Sarah is, not what she is.

    499

    You're going to have to get that from Sarah.

    500

    You're here because Sarah wants to give you some time to calm down and accept things.
