“Calvin stepped forward and took my hand. He leaned over to talk very close to my ear. ‘Darlin’,’ he said, ‘you have to do this. I accepted this, when I stood up for her when she was married. And I knew what she was. And you know Jason. This might easily have been the other way ‘round. I might be about to do this to you. And you don’t heal as well. This is better. And it has to be. Our people require this.’ He straightened and looked me right in the eyes. His own were golden, utterly strange, and quite steady.” Calvin Norris and Sookie Stackhouse - “From Dead to Worse”

‘I’m not sure how you think this is going to make me feel.’
‘I’m only telling you the truth. There has been only one you.’ And then he got up and walked back into the woods, human slow, letting me watch him leave.” Bill Compton and Sookie Stackhouse - “From Dead to Worse”

“From his chair, Bill caught my eye and silently put his hand over his heart. It was a romantic, and totally unexpected, gesture and for a moment I softened toward him. I very nearly smiled, though Selah was right there by his side.
