"You can expect it to be flawless," she answered him, staring like a deer in headlights. "He can't be stopped."
Graeme bristled at the suggestion that they had no chance. That was impossible.

If Andreas would have let me, I could have done so much worse than I did. So much worse," she shook her head, mouth hanging open at the stunning realization.
