Teaser Tuesdays

MizB of Should Be Reading hosts Teaser Tuesdays. Anyone can play along. Just do the following:

*Grab your current read.*Open to a random page.
*Share two "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page.

*BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! You don't want to ruin the book for others.

*Share the title and author too, so other TT participants can add it to their TBR lists if they like your teaser.

Here's mine from "Beyond the Aquila Rift" a short story by Alastair Reynolds in Zima Blue & Other Stories (p. 52):

I look at her and for a moment remember someone else, someone I haven't thought of in years. I almost remember her name, and then the moment passes.
