For Day 3 of sharing some of my favorite moments and quotes, I opted for the scene between Marcus and Quinn in the morgue. One of the reasons I love this interchange is because we get a glimpse as the sparks between the two characters. Not only that, there’s also an innocence to the excitement of standing next to someone who short-circuits your brain. And, as a guy, I know first-hand the feeling of trying to impress that person, but sounding like a dork instead.
CM’s Favorite Chaos Quotes: Day 3 – Quinn and Marcus
Simeon placed his hands on either side of Banks’s head, murmured softly, and leaned forward. He held that position for a moment before moving his hands slowly down the neck and over the chest.
“Nothing. Only silence.”
He checked the corpse once again, murmuring more as he moved farther down the body. He paused at the toes, then worked his way back to the head.
“There is little that I can…” He drifted off, cocking his head to one side.
“What?”
“I may have found something, but it’s faint. Almost like an echo.”
“Echo, echo, echo,” I repeated softly. Simeon ignored me, but Quinn snickered.
“You’re weird,” she said.
“I was going for charming.”
“Perhaps.” A mischievous grin spread over her lips.
“Please, stop flirting,” Simeon begged. “It’s distracting.”
We quieted, trading smirks as if we’d been caught passing notes in class.
