“I know,” Rogue said. “It would’ve been nice, though, just you and me.”
Seth chuckled. “Now you see it my way. Where’s the woman who said she could never live out here with me alone?”
“That woman was pretty stupid,” Rogue said, smiling back.
“Not stupid, just stubborn,” Seth said, drawing her in for a kiss. “How about we pretend it’s only you and me? For one night? The rest of the world can wait.”
“That sounds wonderful,” Rogue said, a delicious shiver running down her spine. And she did pretend for one sweet, blissful night.

Generally speaking, physical location references are not listed in the Glossary.
Measurements are provided in both metric and US/Imperial units.
Alamosaurus – A genus of sauropod dinosaurs containing just one species that lived in the late Cretaceous period. (See Cretaceous.) Specimens suggest they could measure up to 30 meters (98 feet) in length and weigh as much as 79 metric tons (88 tons). For comparison, the largest living land animal in the present day is the African elephant which can weigh up to 6.3 metric tons (7 tons). (Wikipedia.)
Albertosaurus – A genus of tyrannosaurid dinosaurs that lived in the late Cretaceous period. (See Cretaceous.) Specimens suggest they could measure up to 10 meters (33 feet) in length and weigh as much as 2.5 metric tons (2.8 tons). (Wikipedia.)
Ankylosaurus – A genus of armored dinosaurs that lived at the very end Cretaceous period. (See Cretaceous.) Specimens suggest they could measure up to 10.6 meters (35 feet) in length and weigh as much as 5.9 metric tons (6.5 tons). (Wikipedia.)
Ballistae – Plural form of ballista, an ancient weapon that hurled large stones, javelins, or bolts. The weapon dates back to the 4 th century BC Greece. (Wikipedia.)
Bambiraptor – A carnivorous dinosaur that lived in the late Cretaceous period. (See Cretaceous.) Estimated size for an adult would measure 1.3 meters (4.3 feet) in length and weigh 5 kilograms, (11 pounds). (Wikipedia.)
Brachylophosaurus – A genus of hadrosaur dinosaurs that lived in the late Cretaceous period. (See Cretaceous.) Estimates suggest that an adult could measure at least 9 to 11 meters (29 to 36 feet) in length and weigh as much as 7 metric tons, (7.7 tons). (Wikipedia.)
Clidastes – A genus of large carnivorous marine lizards called mosasaurs. An average size specimen could measure 2 to 4 meters (6.5 to 13 feet). A large one could be 6 meters (19.6 feet). It existed in the late Cretaceous period. (See Cretaceous.) (Wikipedia.)
Cretaceous – The Cretaceous period is defined as beginning 145 million years ago (mya) and lasting until approximately 66 mya. (Wikipedia.)
Dryptosaurus - Pronunciation: drip-toe-SORE-us, Name meaning: ‘tearing lizard’
Dryptosaurus is a genus of tyrannosauroid that lived approximately 67 million years ago during the latter part of the Cretaceous period in what is now New Jersey. Dryptosaurus was a large, bipedal, ground-dwelling carnivore, that could grow up to 7.5 m long. Estimated Mass: 1 500 kg (Wikipedia)
Lambeosaurus – A genus of hadrosaurid herbivore dinosaurs that lived in the late Cretaceous period. These dinosaurs had duckbills and could feed from trees as high as 4 meters (13 feet). (Wikipedia.)
mya – an acronym for “million years ago”, also “m.y.a”, used in astronomy, geology, and paleontology. (Wikipedia)
Nyctosaurus – A genus of nyctosaurid pterodactyloid pterosaur that lived in the late Cretaceous period. An adult could have a wingspan of 2 meters (6.5 feet). Compared to terrestrial dinosaurs Nyctosaurus were small-bodied and weigh less than 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds). (See Cretaceous.) (Wikipedia.)
Prime City - A settlement of survivors that formed around the former Prime hotel, owned and run by the self-proclaimed Senator Douglas. He used the Watch to patrol the walls and keep the people in line.
Parksosaurus - A genus of hypsilophodont ornithopod dinosaur from the early Maastrichtian-age Upper Cretaceous. A small, bipedal, herbivorous dinosaur. Length: 2,5 m (Estimated) Height: 100 cm Mass: 45 kg (Estimated)
Pterosaur – Pronounced “tero saur”. Science considers pterosaurs to be flying lizards that are distinct from dinosaurs. Pterosaurs existed from the late Triassic to the end of the Cretaceous period. (See Triassic.) (See Cretaceous.) (Wikipedia.)
Stegoceras - is a genus of pachycephalosaurid dinosaur that lived in what is now North America during the Late Cretaceous period, about 77.5 to 74 million years ago. The first specimens from Alberta, Canada, were described in 1902, and the type species Stegoceras validum was based on these remains. (Wikipedia) Height: 1,2 m Length: 2 – 2,5 m Mass: 10 – 40 kg
Quetzalcoatlus – Pronounced “ket suhl kow at luhs”. A genus of pterosaurs. (Wikipedia.) Triassic – The Triassic period is defined as beginning approx 251 mya) and lasting until approximately 202 mya. (Wikipedia.)
Triceratops - a genus of herbivorous ceratopsid dinosaur that first appeared during the late Maastrichtian stage of the late Cretaceous period, about 68 million years ago (mya). It is one of the most recognizable of all dinosaurs and the best-known ceratopsid. It was also one of the largest, up to 9 metres (29.5 feet) long and 12 tonnes (13.2 tons) in weight. (Wikipedia.)
Tyrannosaurus rex – A bipedal carnivorous theropod dinosaur that lived in the late Cretaceous period. These dinosaurs could grow to lengths over 12.3 meters (40 feet) and up to 3.66 meters (12 feet) tall at the hips with a weight of 14 metric tons (15.4 tons). (Wikipedia.)
Utahraptor (meaning Utah’s predator) is a genus of large dromaeosaurid dinosaur that lived in North America during the Early Cretaceous period. It was a heavy-built, ground-dwelling, bipedal carnivore. Height: 1,8 – 2 m (At the hips), Length: 5 – 7 m, Mass: 300 – 1 000 kg (Adult, Estimated)
