More From Robin McKinley

She sat leaning back in her chair, looking ahead, knowing that he was as aware of her as she was of him. she found pleasure in the special self-consciousness it gave her. when she crossed her legs, when she leaned on her arm against the window sill, when she brushed her hair off her forehead - every movement of her body was underscored by a feeling the unadmitted words for which were: is he seeing it?
Romantic Knowing Hair
At the door , she made him promise to go without goodbyes .she closed the door on him . laila leaned her back against it , shaking against his pounding fists , one arm gripping her belly and a hand across her mouth , as he spoke throughout the door and promised that he would come back for her . she stood there until he tired , until he gave up , and then she listened to his uneven footsteps until they faded , until all was quiet , save for the gunfire cracking in the hills and her own heart thudding in her belly , her eyes , her bones .
Goodbye Tired Heart
Hey." she said, looking up from an open book propped up on one knee. she brushed a few strands of pale hair out of her face. her boyfriend, christian, lay on the floor near her, his head propped up on her other knee. he greeted me by way of a nod. concidering the antagonism the sometimes flared up between us, that was almost on par with him giving me a bear hug.
Christian Book Hair
Peter curled his hands into fists at his sides. 'kiss me,' he said. she leaned towards him slowly, until her face was too close to be in focus. her hair fell over peter's shoulder like a curtain and her eyes closed. she smelled like autumn-like apple cider and slanting sun and the snap of the coming cold. he felt his heart scrambling, caught inside the confines of his own body. josie's lips landed just on the edge of his, almost his cheek and not quite his mouth. 'i'm glad i wasn't stuck in here alone,' she said shyly, and he tasted the words, sweet as mint on her breath.
Sweet Heart Eye
She wondered whether there would ever come an hour in her life when she didn't think of him -- didn't speak to him in her head, didn't relive every moment they'd been together, didn't long for his voice and his hands and his love. she had never dreamed of what it would feel like to love someone so much; of all the things that had astonished her in her adventures, that was what astonished her the most. she thought the tenderness it left in her heart was like a bruise that would never go away, but she would cherish it forever.
Heart Adventure Thinking
Eventually she came. she appeared suddenly, exactly like she'd done that day- she stepped into the sunshine, she jumped, she laughed and threw her head back, so her long ponytail nearly grazed the waistband of her jeans. after that, i couldn't think about anything else. the mole on the inside of her right elbow, like a dark blot of ink. the way she ripped her nails to shreds when she was nervous. her eyes, deep as a promise. her stomach, pale and soft and gorgeous, and the tiny dark cavity of her belly button. i nearly went crazy.
