The obvious answer was to protect that person.

The young boy would be the only person Dean could think of who Cynthia would care enough to at least consider protecting.

He paused and said a silent prayer for the spirit of this person who had brought so much grief to Bird Song and his previously contented life.

To Dean, his reputation mattered only in the eyes of one person, his wife.

Though he harbored no regrets in declining her invitation to sex, he knew he could and should have handled so obviously unstable a person in such a mental state far better than he did.

Edith Shipton was protecting the one person she truly loved, her son Donnie.

The you in my heaven is the person I create in my mind, the perfect you, who never drinks his milk from the cereal bowl and remembers every birthday and holiday with the nicest card he buys the day before, and he sends roses for no reason at all....

Josh Reynolds, you can march your jealous carcass right out that door and don't you come back until you can talk to me like I'm a reasonably intelligent and decent person.

Right now, any affection would be welcome; and Alex was obviously an affectionate person.

Still, what business could survive without a person with final authority on decisions?

And how could that person make wise decisions without the input from the accounting department, the lawyer and sales?

You know, you're the first person to tell me that.

More than an hour later she was pouring herself a cup of coffee and wondering if a person could get dehydrated from crying.

No, she was not at all the type of person Tim normally surrounded himself with.

She still found it baffling how different he was in person than over the net.

She wanted to kill the one person who always believed in me.

What a broken heart will make a person do.

One person can help us. I just encouraged her to come find us.

You can't be serious, Kris. I'm the last person you want in charge of something important.

Picking up a hitch-hiker, giving a homeless person a dollar— things like that.

Why didn't the person who answered her call talk to her?

His only phone message sounded like the same person who had telephoned the house the night before—again leaving neither name nor number.

He was the last person to spend any time with Byrne.

While Dean wanted the opportunity to speak with her in person after his Norfolk trip, he didn't feel in the best mood to do it after spending half the night and day coping with Vinnie Baratto and his sleazy friends.

The very presence of the opposite sex turned him to a totally different person, a regular lady-killer.

Byrne was the only recent miss­ing person in the file.

Mrs. Glass told him he wasn't the first person asking about her Bascomb Place tenant and the fellow wanted to know all about us.

He was the only person who stayed there on the night of the May sixteenth and he had a Pace Arrow camper!

Cece Baldwin sounds like a nice person.

Your father was a nice enough guy to be that person.

Even visiting the banks in person produced no success.

And there was no sign of Jeffrey Byrne, in person, in conversation or in spirit.

He could have painted it—if it even happens to be the same person.

Looks like you were the last person to talk to him.

Dean only had a brief glance at the rider, not enough to even tell if the helmeted figure was a man or a woman, much less recognize the person.

Dean spent a pocket full of coins before he found the one housing the person for whom he was searching.

Josh was the last person on earth she wanted to talk to right now.

You do know you're the most wonderful person in the world, don't you?

No good could come of longing for things a person could never have.

Strange how a person's mind could get set on something and see nothing else.

He really is a gentle and loving person.

That sounds like a person with second thoughts.

It's hard to believe a person would turn down a trip to the Bahamas.

Only a person who had spent many of them alone would realize how special it was to have a partner next to them.

Was that where he planned to meet the mystery person?

How could a person get into so much trouble minding their own business?

Alex had once asked if Josh would be the person she turned to when they were having problems.

Josh was the last person she wanted to talk to.

Now he thought he had been betrayed by the one person that he had believed he could trust.

She always seemed to know what was going on inside people's heads, and to anticipate how a person would react to a given circumstance.

You're not the first person to ... her voice trailed off as Carmen frowned at her.

You're a very resourceful and courageous person.

There is another person to consider — the baby.

Two young lives wasted because they fell in love with the wrong person.

When Dusty found Bianca, she swore she'd seen a miracle, for the master assassin was the last person in either world she'd ever have thought would fall to something like love.

Someone who could love her and understand how important it was that she remained her own person.

Her thoughts turned to the one person she felt comfortable talking to.

You care about the other person in the equation.

You've been the only person who stayed with me through this all.

She wasn't about to live with the guilt of hurting yet a third person she cared about.

So you mean I wasn't the very last person to know?

He'd been scarred so badly, he was hardly recognizable as a person.

He was looking at the only person who'd ever caused it.

You are the strongest, most honorable person I've ever known.

In this, she would always remain a better person than the twisted, abusive man who had controlled her so absolutely before she killed him.

Even in the body of a good person, the demon tried hard to corrupt.

Still, a person could go only so far in planning their life.

Yet Alex was the most responsible person she had ever met.

It was his responsibility and, Alex being the person he was, could do nothing but step up to it.

Don't you have any desire to be your own person?

I married a wonderful person, not a bankroll.

Even so, how did a person respond to that kind of praise?

She worked hard at taking care of her husband and children, yet how often had someone told her she was a good wife and mother - or even a nice person?

She's a very special person.

A person never got old enough or mature enough that they were no longer capable of making a poor choice.

You're the most stubborn person I've ever met.

It's a scary thought, isn't it – having someone look at what you have instead of the person you are?

Sam was an interesting person.

A person couldn't grow when they were living up to the expectations of others.

Socializing didn't require a person to look or act like everyone else.

By noon it would have been a close contest to say who was the crankiest person in the house.

He was the one person on earth who could send her heart into a frenzy with one kiss.

She thought it was at the time, but an independent person never actually wanted someone else to make all the decisions.

What I wanted is who you really are, not the person I've guilted you into becoming.

Denton met her at the door, smiling as though she were the only person on his mind.

What was so strange about a man dropping in to welcome a new neighbor - one visitor to another - a man welcoming a person who lived several miles away?

It was sinful to get so much pleasure out of another person's predicament.

Of course, mostly she had viewed him as a parent, not a person.

I only have one sleeping bag, and it will only accommodate one person.

What a genial person he was.

Was he shy, or was he simply a casual type of person?

Fear didn't make a person a coward.

How a person dealt with that fear was the measure of their strength - and she was coming up short on the yardstick.

It has possibilities - providing a person could buy it.

I don't have a radio or a TV, and I have no trouble believing he is a private type of person.

This was not the room of a normal person.

He couldn't sense her like he did the person at the door.

I'm the only normal person I know.

You are the only person who can do this, or I'd kill all three of you now.

He's the kind of person you need to run from, if you ever meet anyone like him.

He's not the kind of person I want to piss off.

If I'm the first person whose mind you can't read, doesn't it scare you that you can't tell what I'm thinking?

He was also the most fascinating person she'd ever spoken to, in a terrifying, otherworldly way.
