Quote #4
[…] I found myself sitting on Alma Ember's bed. I was completely naked save for a pair of gold-toed socks and a cross necklace that I'd found in my brother's room. Alma Ember wore even less than that. After she showed me what being a good wife had taught her—her words, not mine—I fell asleep under the watchful eyes of a dozen or so porcelain dolls. (5.144)
It's such a bummer to constantly be thinking about Gabriel's disappearance and how depressed everyone is at home. Can you really blame Cullen for deciding that he needs a little sexual healing to take his minds off of things?
Quote #5
After just three dates, the two of us, sixteen years old at the time, decided to get more acquainted one sunny afternoon at the previously mentioned spot on the bank of the White River. Once our clothes were back on and we were back in Laura's car, I began to laugh. (9.26)
Let's just say that Cullen's very first sexual experience doesn't exactly go as smoothly as he'd hoped. Maybe laughing hysterically afterwards wasn't the best way to endear himself to his lady friend, though.
Quote #6
Now that Russell Quitman's fate had been sealed, I was feeling very guilty for all the zombie fantasies in which I had chopped off his head. That being said, I was feeling less and less guilty for all the nonzombie fantasies I was having about Ada Taylor and her wrinkly skirt. (9.56)
Now that Russell Quitman is paralyzed, that means that Ada Taylor is totally fair game, right? If it's wrong to lust after a paralyzed kid's ex-girlfriend, then Cullen Witter doesn't want to be right.
