"It must be hard to get up in the morning when you're that empathetic."
"Greta appeared out of nowhere, dropping a box of tissues on the table, handing each of us a smile, then wordlessly retreating back to the living room."
(I like the idea of handing a smile to each person in a room.)
Here's a classic from the chapter I read yesterday outside in the spring air:
"'I want to sue the city of Hastings, Hastings General Hospital, and Channel 8. Oh, and my ex-husband.'
Walter's eyebrows lifted. 'Your ex-husband? What did he do?'
'He's alive. I want you to sue him for not being dead yet.'"
