- While the independent woman had only been to Ouray once in the six months the Deans had been married, she and her son-in-law got along spectacularly.
- Once beyond access to the river below, the seldom-used path presented an unbroken cover of fresh white, now blanketed in more than a foot of fresh powder, as it followed the large pipe toward the reservoir.

- Once they had settled on October 12th for the wedding, and decided to use the same caterer they used for the Halloween gala, Elisabeth suggested they give it a rest until after Christmas.

- He released her once they were away from the scene.
- Both shook the proffered hand, surprised to be greeted by a man once charged with overseeing the wars abroad.
- Both Lana and the general turned icy, less-than-impressed looks on him, and for once, Brady was glad he couldn't speak.
- Government will splinter once the attacks occur.
- Greenie—and those he was working with—would be crazy not to pursue her, once they found out what she did.
- She'd fantasized about him once.
- She'd fantasized about meeting him more than once, even if she knew it was impossible.
- "Lana said she needed help getting to the Peace Command Center in Colorado, that Greenie was going to kill her once she found out what she'd done," Elise continued.
- His instincts warned him there was no stopping someone like General Greene, once he set out to find someone.
- She was in his world now, offering him something he'd allowed himself to fantasize about more than once.
- Maybe he feared his punishment would be worse when she told Mr. Tim what he did, for Mr. Tim would surely crush Brady's PMF militia once he found out his friend was a traitor.
- She sat down to plot, not wanting to think what would happen if she failed to deliver the Horsemen somewhere safe or how much her Guardian would despise her once she acted.
- He was once again the rebel commander and not her Guardian.

- The rotators caught, pulling them out of the spin, slowed their ascent, then gave out once again.
- Once it hit water, it would inflate, and the water-breather would activate.
- As long as you have water, you only need to eat once a day.
- Once she did that, she could risk contacting Tim on her net and pray he reached her before Greenie or anyone else found her.
- For once, someone in the chain of command had some common sense.
- Brady recovered his balance, once again amazed at just how weak his body was.
- Not once have you uttered those words.
- I did. But she never let me forget I was once a human. She always resented my human weaknesses.
- Nothing did, and she trailed Gabriel once again.
- "Go. Await my messenger. Once Rhyn enters the underworld, you will follow him," he said, looking over his creation with satisfaction.
- Shaking his head, he continued to his destination. He emerged through a portal leading to Death's corner of the underworld. It was a place no demon or Immortal was allowed to go, and he'd thought it impossible to get there, until he'd tried. He'd visited Gabriel once before.
- It was clear and cool outside of Gabe's small cottage in the middle of a possessed jungle. Rhyn felt the sense that someone else was there once more and looked around. Assuming the feeling has something to do with his magic, Rhyn shook it off once more. He opened the front door without knocking, already sensing it was empty. Gabe had left in a hurry. The wardrobe near his bed was open and his walls were missing many of the weapons Rhyn had seen last time.
- Hannah's pretty eyes grew dark. Kris kissed her on the forehead, not wanting his mate to worry, even if he didn't know what would happen once he and Kiki left for the underworld.
- Because I should trust a creepy ghost that looks like someone I once knew over the Immortal who rescued me from Death.
- Rhyn considered how he might use the demon, as he had once before. He didn't answer, pushing the door open to the cell block. Nearly all the cells were empty. "Where is everyone?" he asked.
- "It's a pleasure, my lady," he said, at once thrilled and uneasy that she'd finally acknowledged the leader of the Council That Was Seven.
- And the Council has broken up at least once.
- Katie angled herself towards the voice once again. The woman was close. She continued and then stopped suddenly, nearly tripping over the small form in her path.
- Or, we can do things my way for once.
- "This happened once before, long ago," Death said and held out her other hand.
- You made a selfless choice, one I've failed to make more than once. Besides, I ordered Katie killed. I alone can make this right.
- He hefted Kiki once again. Hannah sniffled and crawled to her feet. Rhyn hurried towards the Sanctuary, concerned for Kiki but even more anxious about making sure Katie was alive and well.
- They shouldn't be. I heard a story once about the Army of Souls. I'm wondering if they are what Darkyn was after, not killing Death.
- After turning the knob once to confirm it was locked, he paused, somewhat unsteadily, and glanced across the motel parking lot.
- Once past the scrub brush and small trees, the near-total darkness surprised him, causing him to pause until his eyes became accustomed to this darkened world.
- He considered once more the folly of his undertaking, but pushed away his second thoughts.
- Dean had to agree, but going to Philadelphia was like a visit to the dentist: once in a while you had to do it but nobody liked it.

- Once Dean introduced himself, he sat with the phone several inches from his ear, unable to inject a word as she built up her tirade.
- He had scored once, in his junior year, producing one-third of his team's production in a 13-to-3 lapper for Easton High.
- Dean once suggested a bike ride in the country.
- Once in a while they did things together socially, usually to fulfill mandated coupling at necessary functions and seldom for the entertainment of either.
- "I'm afraid I'd have to take a hike once there was a wedding," he said, as he rolled over.
- The unearthly shrill of the telephone shattered the scene, once, twice, three times before Dean clawed at the instrument and grumbled something.
- I've seen you once in 13 years and you were in a lineup.
- What's the heat if I double rent once in awhile?
- The principal located the boy, who willingly answered Dean's questions once he learned his own activities were of no interest to the police.
- Just prompt them once in awhile.
- Once on the street, Dean put up a halting hand.
- But their little sojourn to Scranton had not yielded once and for all what Dean had hoped for, a dead end to close off speculation on this business.
- Once again there was no evidence to make Jeffrey Byrne's death anything but an accidental drowning.
- The thought passed Dean's mind that he'd already carried her to bed once today but he held his tongue.
- Once again in darkness, Dean made his way toward the form, his arms outstretched before him.
- Emergency lights were now on outside the motel, making the return trip easier once he reached the road.
- But once back in bed, the complexities and the happenings of the day raised their heads like so many ghosts crying for attention in his tired brain.
- We all drink a little too much once in a while.
- She apologized that she would once again need his detailed report now that the body remained missing.
- "They say it happens every once in a while, especially when you're getting old," she said.
- It was an unforgettable day and Dean never once thought of the missing Mr. Byrne until mid-afternoon while they were taking a short break and Cynthia mentioned his name.
- I should be wearing black instead of enjoying myself, even if it's only once in awhile.
- Later, when the game had run to silence, she became serious once more.
- Might it have been one of those situations where Fred mentioned something to Cora Abernathy who told it to her second cousin, once removed, whose brother-in-law's best friend was seeing the sister of Arthur's housekeeper?
- Once the guy saw me clearly by the door, he knew my face and all hell broke loose.
- Dean told Fred once they were alone.
- Once again, she didn't answer directly but described a well-known seafood restaurant on the New Jersey shore, at least two hours from Parkside.
- Whatever beauty the day held was lost once he was behind the wheel, listening to a chorus of horns amid a blue haze of exhaust.
- Once again they were both silent.
- And for once, we've got a lead they haven't overheard.
- Once he saw the area, he knew he'd made a mistake in not accepting her offer and staying longer.
- Durango, Colorado, once one of the wildest cities in the old west, was now the home of 12,000 citizens and one of the country's last narrow-gage railroads.
- After once again setting up Dean's tent, this time in the dark, Fred suggested they go someplace quiet and talk.
- He filled in Fred before the two once again parted.
- When the road straightened once more, he heard a noise behind him and a dozen daredevils in the tuck position sped on by him with a wave and a rush of air.
- He pushed off once again, committed firmly to the pursuit.
- Once I questioned what you told me, everything began making sense.
- The lodge was in the next block and once again mirrored the others he'd visited since this business began.
- Once again he moved to the window and looked out.
- We all do something on the spur of the moment once in awhile.
- They were all joking, of course, but how much would Alex change once they exchanged vows?
- Once all the boxes were in the house, he turned to her.
- In two weeks Alex would be making the decisions and everything that once belonged to her parents would belong to him as well.

- Once again it crossed her mind how pleased they would have been with Alex.
- I'll bring a couple of cages home from work tomorrow, so we can catch the chickens and bring them all up here at once.
- Once the chickens were happy in their pen, she turned to Alex.
- I like fresh rabbit meat every once in a while, and I like taking care of rabbits.
- And wear it once?
- "She's only been up it once," Carmen said.
- Checking the record, her face grew warm on discovery that Alex had once again tried in vain to reach her.
- Maybe he was getting nervous because he had been this close to getting married once before and she simply didn't show up for the wedding.
- Once out of bed she slipped into a nightgown and headed for the kitchen.
- Start out someplace besides the clearance rack for once.
- Once again he had been unable to reach her on the cell phone – for whatever reason.
- Apparently that was what inspired his decision to arrange for a trash truck once a week.

- Once he saw the doctor, the entire issue would be settled.
- Once he had told her that there would be times in their marriage when they would regret giving up their freedom.
- Only once had Josh actually hit her, and Alex had been there.
- He had stopped Josh from shaking the life out of her once.
- He had once told her that any time she didn't want to cook, they could go out to eat, but this hardly seemed the time.
- If they could only bring back the joy they once shared — the trust.
- Once across the creek, she pushed her way up the overgrown trail and across the field, pausing to watch a couple of ducks on the pond.
- And what did he mean, for once?
- He was asking for a second chance, but could they ever reclaim the relationship they had once enjoyed?
- We found it once.
- But then, he forgave her once before, in spite of it all.
- It was one thing to discuss financial plans, but would the desire be there for the intimacy they once shared?

- She left before anyone could shut her up again in a room, running once she'd closed the door to the hovel the two families shared.
- He ran through the city and into the apple orchard on the side of the city she'd only seen once, for peasants didn't go there.
- She looked around, astounded by the beauty of the orchard, then realized she'd lose sight of Dustin once he crested the hill in the center of the orchard.
- Dustin ran up to the young man Jenn assumed was his master, and the golden eyes at once told her who this Damian was.
- "I made a promise," Jonny said, his tone confident once again.
- Once a god then a slave, he was just starting to figure out who he was now.
- Darian watched his little brother, at once proud of the White God that Damian had grown into and crushed by the sense of his own failure.
- More importantly, she had to find out what Jonny's next step was, once the month-long truce between White and Black Gods was up.
- Once we are here, we can Travel at will.
- While she'd been one of the original Guardians to escape the immortal world with Damian, she'd also been at the bottom of the totem pole, once the Guardians in the mortal world rallied around their White God.
- I can't be in two places at once.
- He would never be what he once was, but he wasn't Jonny, headed down a dark path.
- He circled the portal once again, stalling, before finally Traveling to the nearby station.
- What peace she'd found in the familiar orchard fled as she looked at the charred, crumbling ruins of the once great city that lay beyond the wall.
- Jenn stepped into the city, at once aware of the sorrow the place held.
- Scaling the wall once again, she dropped to her feet and was still for a long moment, using her senses to see if anyone was there.
- For once, he didn't know what Damian might be thinking.
- Convincing herself it was only his magic, she couldn't help sensing once more there was something else between them.
- "Thousands. And you never once came running to me, upset about a kiss," he pointed out.
- "I did it once to Jonny, long ago, before …" She drifted off, darkness crossing her features.
- A single marble obelisk marked the bloodline and legacy of a once powerful clan.
- The metal was cold against her warm skin, and she pulled her scarf on tighter once the necklace was where it belonged.
- At once, the cold and dark was replaced by soft light and heat.
- For once, let someone else take care of you, Jenn.
- For once, let someone take care of you.
- Changes undergone in the immortal world normally weren't permanent, once they returned to their world for twenty-four hours.
- Every once in awhile, he absorbed too much, and the result threw him on his back.
- Still, she'd texted once, soon after Dusty disappeared, asking her Watcher where her mate was.
- At once, her body felt energized where she'd been drained before.
- Jenn nodded once to show she heard.
- He Traveled to the small town, at once struck by the scent of barbacoa again.
- "And I've told you more than once that you need not travel, but you insist," Sirian said.
- Tendrils of coldness stretched from its home within her chest, testing her strength before subsiding into stillness once more.
- For once, I agree with that ass.
- By the time he engaged the third, the woman was running once more.
- The moon is a fickle lover, like a beautiful woman…she gives her whole heart but once a month and leaves you before dawn…why fear you the night?
- She held his gaze in silent challenge a moment longer before dropping back and stretching out once more.
- Rissa was dressed in clean men's clothing, her hair braided once more.
- He lowered his eye-band once more, engaging his other senses.
- Sirian's gaze returned to hers, and the two exchanged a look that made the hair on the back of Taran's neck rise once more.
- He nodded once before following the woman.
- He amused himself briefly with the thought of eliminating Sirian himself once the battle began.
- Her blue eyes went to him once, and he saw the look of infuriated accusation within them.
- She flushed and rose, visibly frustrated once more.
- She was calm and in control once more.
- He did not like the tone of her voice, at once considering and deceptive.
- I can assure you, I'd never kill you once we were lovers.
- She gave a harsh laugh and relaxed once more, her head falling back again.
- She stiffened, once again the leader, and gazed up at him.
- Taran turned on his heel, retreating into the squat building once more.
- She looked down once but snapped her head up, unwilling to lose control.
- Panic and fear made her hands shake once more.
- He expressed no emotion, simply dropped his eyes to hers once more.
- For once, its words soothed her.
- She had met once with her immediate neighbor, the king of Palmis, but this clan that had snatched her plainly did not know who she was, or they would not seek to kill a queen in such a way.
- Her eyes flew up to the guard as she sought to orient herself once again.
- He released her and clenched her wrist once more, pushing back her sleeve.
- She once more closed the distance between them, leaning forward to kiss him.
- He frowned and rubbed his face, at once aware that his hands smelled of her.
- Once again, he was the Sirian she remembered, the man she worshipped as a child as he belted orders to the army.
- She leaned her head against the wardrobe once more.
- Taran accepted it, once again unsettled by the darkness clinging to the book.
- Uneasy, he placed it across the chamber on the table once more.
- He placed his weapons on a pillow and tossed himself into the bed, at once sinking into the soft comfort.
- You've betrayed me once al - -
- Her heart quickened once again.
- Rissa started toward the bathing chamber once again, rattled and exhausted.
- His frame tensed once again, and he breathed in her scent, savoring the way its musky sweetness filled his lungs.
- She wiped her face once more.
- She felt panic bubble and tears sting her eyes once again.
- She moved forward once again down an alley leading directly to the open area before the wall.
- But even with those bleak thoughts swirling in her head, she felt herself slide under his spell once again.
- You said once we were fated to be lovers.
- Maybe once the demon was a gift to Tiyan, but now, it is Tiyan's curse.
- His path was once more clear.
- He spoke her name once.
- Taran was quiet, pensive once again.
- I kept the kingdom together and will rescue it once she's dead.
- The demon had stilled, once again considering.
- I had a name once.
- Once, he'd wanted her as much as he did vengeance.
- Taran looked at the ocean once more.
- The door was opened, and she was hauled out once more.
- Taran glanced at Memon, who was frozen once again as he communicated silently with the demon.
- No one was supposed to move in or out of the city once Memon's advisors entered.
- The man before him had taken everything from him once; he wouldn't let him do it again!
- He paused once to give a long look over his shoulder at the still body propped in the Springs.
- Her heart hammered in her ears, her eyes watering once more.
- It was a pleasant reminder of the innocent bride he once knew.
- She had once told him that children were her greatest dream ... next to a husband, she had amended.
- Once that fact had gnawed at him, but he had come to terms with it.
- She had shot a few rabbits with it, and once a skunk that threatened the chickens.
- Once in the house, they all scattered.
- Not once had he ever asked her what he should wear.
- Once again Carmen was reminded of the fact that Alex wasn't a tall man.
- Once again he was doing something that might be considered effeminate in another man, and yet he looked totally masculine.
- No Alex, once was enough.
- Brutus whined and his tail lifted once in recognition of her voice.
- Her grip tightened on the phone involuntarily and it shot out of her wet hand, bouncing once on the ledge before plunging over the bluff.
- Why couldn't he be wrong – just once?
- I know you can – and you will too after you've done it once.
- He started to speak once and then swallowed.
- Once she was in his arms, she would forgive him.
- Once he would have wiped it away and consoled her.
- Once again mealtime was silent.
- Hearing that she once had a goat dairy might have piqued his interest, though.
- Tomorrow they would fly back to Arkansas and for once she wasn't ready to go.
- Senor Medena glanced at them once and frowned.
- Not once had he ever said anything bad about her parents.
- Once again she had let her imagination carry her into misery.
- It's good to have hopes and dreams, but we need to live today to its fullest because it's only going to happen once.
- At the door he paused with his hand on the knob, his tone once again authoritative.
- Once again someone was making decisions that shaped her life... without consideration for her plans.
- It would be nice if I could make the decisions that affect my future, for once.
- Marrying me will do wonders for your social life - once you learn to dress properly.
- I thought I loved you once, but we're too different.
- If you loved me once, it's still there.
- Once she was in Arkansas he wouldn't be able to locate her.
- It's not bad once you get into it.
- A little suffering never hurt anyone, and already she was beginning to have a new appreciation for the comforts that she had once taken for granted.
- It isn't likely, though - for the simple reason that the odds of a tornado hitting any specific spot once are slim.
- Once again she tried the cell phone, with the same results.
- Only once in her life had she heard that word.
- Once, long ago, her father had entertained a friend from the mountains - an old army buddy from northern Arizona.
- Not once had she declared any affection for him.
