“ What New York City football team did Joe Namath play for?The New York City Yankees!A roar of laughter went up from the crowd, accompanied by more than a few loud groans. Bobby Tom silenced them all with a glare. At the same time, the glitter in his eyes dared any of them to contradict her.When he was certain every person there understood his message, he turned back to Gracie and gathered her into his arms. With a tender look and a gentle brush of his lips, he said, Exactly right, sweetheart. I had no idea you knew so much about football.And that was how every last person in Telarosa, Texas, came to understand that Bobby Tom Denton had finally and forever fallen head over heels in love. ”

Did you eat my Twinkies?She gulped. Keeping her eyes glued to the whip, she said, Exactly what Twinkies are we talking about?The Twinkies in the cupboard over the sink. The only Twinkies in the trailer. His fingers convulsed around the coils of leather.Oh, Lord, she thought. Flayed to death for a Twinkle.Well?It, uh — it won't happen again, I promise you. But they didn't have any special marking on them, so there was no way I could tell they were yours. Her eyes remained riveted on the whip. And normally I wouldn't have eaten them— I never eat junk food-—but I was hungry last night, and, well, when you think about it, you'll have to admit I did you a favor because they're clogging my arteries now instead of yours.His voice was quiet. Too quiet. In her mind she heard the howl of a rampaging Cossack baying at a Russian moon. Don't touch my Twinkies. Ever. If you want Twinkies, buy your own.
