Summary
“Bullshit you’re straight. Everyone wants to fuck everyone. Sexuality as a preference rather than a fact of humanity’s innate, insatiable, all encompassing hornyness is a farce as childish as believing in God.”
There were a dozen different things Nile could have said to that off the top of her head, not the least of which being that Andy can bitch and moan all she wants, but it’s never going to make Nile stop believing in God, and it’s never going to make her anything but straight. Probably. She settles on, “I don’t think that’s politically correct.”
Or: a meditation on immortal sexuality, as experienced by one Nile Freeman along the long and winding road to discovering that Booker is the only person she really wants to fuck.

Summary
It’s been only ten minutes when he hears the door open behind him. Too quick, surely, to condemn a man, though he suspects the votes are there. He hopes Nile will bend them toward mercy. He knows Andy will be the one to deliver the verdict when it comes.
But it’s Nicky coming to his side now, resting his forearms on the railing and looking outward.

Summary
“Nicky came home with a coyote once,” Joe offered.
“It looked like it needed help,” Nicky muttered. “And I’d never seen one before, how was I supposed to know?”
“That doesn’t actually count,” Nile complained. “I said dog grooming.”

…or, five times Nile tries to think of something none of the others have ever done, and one time they explain why she doesn’t have to.
