Oooh, Jilli, nice and creeeepy.
Buffy: Dancing with you is way better than trying to hook up with some good-looking guy. Xander: I think I liked it more when you were kicking me in my puffy groin.

Jilli, you gave me goose bumps.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

"Can I see it?"
I allow the student to pull back the edge of tee to expose the limned markings decorating each shoulder blade. I feel a delicate touch, and it pulls away as if afraid to press too hard.
"What are they?"
"One’s an old Irish design that stands for life, death and rebirth, and the other is an owl off an ancient Greek coin, a drachma. It's the symbol for Athena, the goddess of wisdom."
A pause. "Why did you get tattoos?"
A good question; my turn to pause. Think. Smile.
"It's jewelry you can never take off."

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Good one, Jilli!

Ooh, Erin, I like that, jewelry you can never take off. Nifty way of looking at it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Also 100 words exactly:
By the time you had been here a week, the other nurses and I all knew the story behind each piece.
The silver chain holding your husband's wedding ring that lets it fall at just the right place on your chest.
The sapphire earrings your daughter gave you for Mother's day the year she got her first big promotion.
The simple silver wedding band you hadn't taken off for over 40 years, and the flashy engagement ring you got for your 18th anniversary.
The first time I see your son cry is when I lean down to take them off.

Oh, damn, Lee.
Last line is the killer.
Set 'em up, girl, and knock 'em down!

Thanks Erin. Love yours, and the rest of them.

For Jina
Glowing softly in the light Against the neck Above the breast It rises on a pale crestSmooth and round it Rolls across the skin as Clouds blown over desert sand
Satin, silk and velvet are as one Pillowed there, the moon Serene, at rest
Below its crown of tourmaline Held in place By chains of gold It isn’t bold
No more than a Child so soft Skin so pure Part of one
But not of one Resting, too, upon A breast, that dusky Breast of death
Chained by love No heart’s surcease The pearl of love In your embrace
