How close is too close? Romance novel #1, Sloppy Firsts, by Megan McCafferty"Though I used to see him sometimes at Hope's house, Marcus and I had never, ever acknowledged each other's existence before. So I froze, not knowing whether I should (a) laugh, (b) say something, or (c) ignore him and keep on walking. I chose a brilliant combo of (a) and (b)…"I turned around and saw that Marcus was smiling at me."Romance novel # 2, How Opal Mehta…, by Kaavya Viswanathan"Though I had been to school with him for the last three years, Sean Whalen and I had never acknowledged each other's existence before. I froze, unsure of (a) what he was talking about, or (b) what I was supposed to do about it. I stared at him…."I looked up and saw that Sean was grinning."Smith, D. (2006, April 25).

AND

If you quote from a website with no author, from 2010, what goes at the end of the sentence?
If you summarize from a journal article with 4 authors, and no date, what goes at the end of the sentence?
So what if you need some bling?!
