No exams would catch fire.
Liv held up her face to be kissed.
She wanted me. — Kami Garcia

They were panting dwarfs, imps gasping for breath, and their beards dragged along the ground. Each carried a strange implement of torture. Some held bloody leather belts studded with iron, some clasp knives and ox goads, some thick, wide-headed nails.
