"Untuk sesaat, dia diam, berkedip. Lalu dia mengibaskan semua selimut dan mantel agar lengannya bebas dan dia melilitkannya di sekitarku. Aku merasakan dia bergidik, menggigil terhadapku saat dia membenamkan wajahnya di rambutku. Aku berkata, tanpa guna, "Sam, jangan pergi." Sam menangkup wajahku di tangannya dan menatap mataku. Matanya kuning, sedih, serigala, mataku. "Ini tetap sama. Ingatlah bahwa ketika Anda melihat saya. Ingat itu saya. Tolong." "- Grace dan Sam (Shiver)"

Versi Bahasa Inggris

For a second, he was still, blinking. Then he shook off all the blankets and coats so that his arms were free and he wrapped them around me as tightly as he could. I felt him shuddering, shuddering against me as he buried his face in my hair. I said, uselessly, "Sam, don't go." Sam cupped my face in his hands and looked me in the eyes. His eyes were yellow, sad, wolf, mine. "These stay the same. Remember that when you look at me. Remember it's me. Please."" — Grace and Sam (Shiver)
