Can it be possible? she thought, not daring to look at his face, but still feeling his eyes gazing at her.

The thought had crossed her mind – briefly.

Most of the boys she dated would never have thought of practicing the age-old custom of walking around the car to open her door, or guiding her through the crowd with a gentle hand on one elbow.

The thought must have occurred to Yancey as well, and he reassured Tammy in a voice choked with suppressed humor.

That thought spoiled the evening.

Judging by his expression, he probably thought it was provocative.

I thought you might want to go with Mom and Tammy.

With that dark thought, she excused herself and went to her room.

What are your thought concerning our love sick member?

I knew this conversation deserved more thought on my part but it felt good taking some action, even if it might prove misguided.

Now I have another dazzling thought, bred from my brilliant research.

He thought a moment before answering.

This is off the record but someone else thought to be a possible lead to the tipster was threatened recently.

My wife thought he should go or Howie should simply kiss his mother's hand, give an excuse of pressing business, and come back east.

When I first met Howie in class I thought he was just this lonely guy but he seemed nice and we had coffee a time of two.

She kissed and hugged her daughter until I thought I'd have to pull them apart, but finally left in Howie's car for Boston and her flight.

Molly started to bite her lip and I thought tears would follow but Betsy grabbed her hand.

I always thought they had a pretty solid marriage, especially with Claire, but she's acting as crazy as a teenager and just watching her marriage crumble.

Betsy thought you could use some company, that's all.

Still, you'd have thought she'd lost the Hope diamond the way she carried on.

I thought Martha would faint.

Another chore for Howie, I thought.

She told our neighbor Mildred she'd done something she regretted 'cause now she really liked this guy and thought maybe she'd messed things up between them.

He wore a pulled up hoodie, but he was taller than our guy and Howie thought he was younger.

I thought of Frank Vasapolli and the difficulty he had securing certain information.

I gave him Frank Vasapolli's phone number and told him I would pass along his number to Frank if I thought it was needed.

He paused before saying he thought Howie suspected it might have been Molly's father or some old boyfriend.

She asked if I thought Martha would fly out for the funeral or memorial service.

I thought only briefly before giving him Daniel Brennan's phone number.

He thought she was really the psychic tipster and was responsible for his arrest?

Yes, I thought, there were scores of people who wanted to murder Howie.

I passed out for a few minutes, I guess, and then I thought I was alone so I started crawling toward the door.

When Betsy mentioned telling the After people, a thought struck me that the death of Owen Bryce, once known to our friends at After would probably tie me directly to the tipster as well.

I told her Owen Bryce was killed while attacking someone he thought was connected to the tipster.

I closed my eyes as I thought of a dozen questions about security breach.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt Quinn, Martha and baby Claire might be gone.

I thought when all this was behind us, we could reminisce about it and maybe revel in all the good we managed to accomplish.

Creeping around campgrounds at midnight didn't seem like a well thought out plan.

I thought we'd finished with the vicarious act of contrition but no such luck.

Could you just talk to the guy who got out of jail; the one everyone thought killed my sister?

Molly thought this was a splendid story.

I thought about what he said.

I drove by earlier with my family and we thought we saw a friend's rig back in the corner.

He must have thought it fruitless to pursue that angle so he moved on.

I thought about what my wife said as I looked around our beautiful property.

He wants me to get you to talk to that sex offender who's free; the one they thought killed Annie.

I'd talk to the guy if I thought it would accomplish something but he'll just say he didn't do it and it would be a waste of a phone call.

I gave a lot of thought to that question because of all the fingers pointing at me.

He thought everyone else was below him and not in the usual way.

You see, guys who just hunted down women looked down on the children snatchers and the scum that took on little girls thought they were a rank better than the little boy snatchers.

If I thought sermonizing would wear out Willard for my questions, I was dead wrong.

Willard thought for a moment.

I thought he was pondering what I said until he spoke up.

There is on one to connect me to New Hampshire though this little group who thought they were so clever hiding in that silly business in Keene might suspect that the one they hunted is now hunting them!

Jackson must have thought I didn't hear him because he repeated what he'd said.

A thousand thought and memories shuffled through my brain like black jack deck.

I hadn't thought of baby Claire!

I thought for a moment the woman might cry out but my look froze her to silence.

I thought I might be able to fix the time setting by trial and error but I was at a loss establishing a location.

I hummed a tune I remembered my mother singing to me as I strolled to the barn to slay the lying witch-bitch who thought she'd tricked.

I cringed at the thought of who might have spent their last nights on earth on that pallet.

The thought of us residing in utter blindness petrified me!

They thought her too young to understand words like coma and deteriorating, and they accused her of lying when she said she could help him.

He'd never thought twice of his mortality-- he had none.

She thought, hopes rising.

He hadn't thought twice about Toni's message that he'd delivered the package from the stash house to his condo until he walked in and discovered the vamp he expected was a woman.

His blood quickened with bloodlust at the thought of ending the life of another miserable vamp.

He hadn't thought it as harsh as it was, just like he thought nothing of killing anything in his path, but seeing the look on a normal human's face reminded him he'd been close to losing what humanity he possessed for quite a while.

At first she thought it was the thunderstorm she'd fallen asleep listening to.

Sasha thought of everything before he left.

The poison she thought she'd cleared from his body lingered.

He glared at her, unable to shake the sense that if Bianca hadn't thought smarter than him, she'd be dead.

Bianca healed me earlier, and I thought I could do more than I could, especially since ....

She couldn't bear the thought of him returning to the troubled teen he'd been and tried to think of something to say to straddle the line between mothering him and letting him be his own person.

This is where I die, he thought.

He paused, bristling with lightning and rage at the thought of Darian betraying their family.

The last was a thought he never expected to have.

I thought it was strange, since Jimmy's the last person who would veer off course from your orders because you let him blow up whatever he wants and he doesn't wanna lose that.

Her stomach dropped at the thought of him, and her eyes watered.

His jaw clenched as he thought again of Bianca.

Several times she'd thought Dusty had the upper hand and could've killed the leering vamp, and several times, he'd stopped, once with a glance at his watch.

His heart rejoiced at the thought of his own mate carrying his child, but he couldn't help but to think of his own upbringing.

Probably because you never thought you'd have to cross Ireland on foot.

This thought she kept to herself.

But I thought … I thought he wouldn't come for a while.

I thought your kind hated humans.

Pacing in her room, she tried hard not to think of what her father was capable of doing to someone he thought was a threat to her.

And how did she stomach the thought of her father doing such a thing to someone?

She thought of how she'd felt safe with Jule during their brief encounter.

He watched her go, suspecting he'd missed more than he thought during the few months he spent with Jule in Europe.

He was a fool if he thought he could fight a creature that didn't die!

Never thought I'd say this, but I think I need a doctor.

Maybe it was his delirium, but Jule thought the vamp looked larger than even Damian.

She was even more afraid of what he'd say, if he thought something was wrong with her like everyone else did.

She started to drive home then thought of the man she and Jule both tried to kill.

I thought there were no others.

You probably never thought your father could kill a man before today.

She'd thought his wall of swords, daggers, axes, and other medieval weapons were for ceremony.

I thought you'd be more like Attila the Hun.

In her defense, she thought I was trying to kill her.

The thought came from nowhere, and Jule thought again of the vamp from his fever dream.

Damian tapped the knife against his boot, deep in thought.

He hugged her, a darker thought crossing his mind as he held her and their child close.
