Duffey-Memorable Passage

Image result for dark vengeance book" "My name is Daniel Blessing," he said. She took his hand in her own. His was large, engulfing hers, and as warm as if he'd been holding a cup of hot tea. Holding it felt comfortable, like being hugged by an old friend. After a few moments she realized he was waiting for her to let go, to say her own name, or both. She couldn't understand why she was so flustered around this man. ... There was something very strange going on here. Part of her wanted to know what it was, but a bigger part-the dominant part, she realized-wondered why she wasn't more concerned about why she trusted him, almost instinctively. Why she had brought him into the house and dismissed the concerns of housemates who didn't want to leave her alone with him."
So to explain what just happened. Kerry Profitt and her housemates got home from work and then they saw a body in their bushes. When Kerry went over to check on him she took interest in him and followed his words to not call the ambulance-keep in mind this guy that they found is pretty beat up and the guy is Daniel. The next morning he is still asleep and recovering, Kerry's housemates were reluctant to leave her in the house alone with him, but all is well. So long story short he is now awake and they are talking and Kerry feels a pull to him-an affection.
This passage caught my attention because it reminded me of Hotel Transylvania and how "you only zing once". It's like Kerry and Daniel zinged, and I think it's super cute. Plus we all have that first love and in some ways I personally like to think first love a) doesn't have to be with like your first boyfriend/girlfriend but with anyone/thing and b) it's just a special thing to me I guess.

  2. Beautiful ideas here...that instant connection with someone and the idea of a warm hand like a "hug from an old friend." It's how I feel about my husband. He is my home.
