"That you're a sun seeker," Dodge explained with a slightly crooked smile beneath that craggy mustache. "Sharkey would say that gold was just rock that had captured a piece of the sun." "Oh, yes.

Tiny curls crept alluringly along the vee of his open collar. "Maybe. Depends on how you feel about the gold." "And if you believe it's there." "Don't you?"

She tried to sound nonchalant, as if she didn't really care and hadn't lain awake most of the night puzzling over the strange life of Sharkey Carsen.MoreLess
