Not until you talk.

You're not leaving here until I get the information I came for.

Maybe he was glad Allen had been exposed and he had not.

She did feel betrayed by Howard, but not by Yancey.

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

Any decision not to become involved with him at this point was posthumous.

And he won't run - not even if you flog him.

But then, if you think it's not safe...

She couldn't see his facial expression in the dark, so it was hard to tell if he was teasing her or not.

We're not in the apartment, are we?

Not until after I graduated.

It's not like I'm asking you to run away with me.

What do you think I've been going through lately... wanting to tell you, wanting to hold you in my arms - not knowing if you felt the way I did.

Yes, I want to marry you, and no, not now.

Let's not just plunge into this.

We're not fooling around, you know.

They're not going to kick us out.

She had no intention of hopping into bed with Brandon before they were married - house rules or not.

In the second place, I'm not going to play doctor.
