Pritkin, it’s a hotel room, not a death trap! ” A glance over his shoulder showed him impatient blue eyes under a fall of messy blond curls. “Anyway, you’re here.”“ I can’t protect you from everything, ” he forced himself to say, because it was true. It was also frankly terrifying in a way that his own mortality was not. He’d never had children, but he sometimes wondered if this was how parents felt when catching sight of a fearless toddler confidently heading toward a busy street. Not that his charge was a child, as he was all too uncomfortably aware. But the knowledge of just how many potentially lethal pitfalls lay in her path sometimes caused him that same heart-clenching terror. And the same overwhelming need to throw her over his lap and spank the living daylights out of her, he thought grimly, when she suddenly popped out of existence. “Cassie! .Karen Chance
About This Quote
To respond to a comment with a statement that begins with the word “anyway†is to imply that your comment was not necessary because you have already made your point. The concept of "anyway" is that the response starts off where it should have ended, and proceeds from there into an unnecessary diversion. This usage stems from a misconception that the word "anyway" means "anyhow," though it also means "so" or "then." The origin of this usage is believed to be in the mid-19th century, and it has been popularized by Julian and Sandy in the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off (the film was released in 1986; we thought we'd make this specific example contemporary).
