61 " Some girls, like Mia, can’t eat when they’re anxious about something, but not me. I gobble my way through anxiety like a lawnmower, and I fuel it with booze. "

62 " I couldn’t help it. There it was, right in front of me, the Dick that Got Away. "

63 " Just lie back and relax, love.” He slid my legs apart, planting a kiss on my left inner thigh, then my right. “Tell me if something feels good and scream all you want. "

64 " Our eyes meet and I’m transported back to a time when London and I weren’t always at each other’s throats. A time when we had feelings for each other. Even though we’re both aching, there’s something keeping us from breaking completely – a trust that even in the deepest pain, we can still come together and offer comfort. "

65 " The thing about love is that it’s irrational and stupid. I work with statistics and analyse hard data – I weigh probabilities and risks, and think in truths and facts.Truth – Ian broke my heart.Truth – Ian is the man I’ve never gotten over.Fact – Ian is a selfish player who doesn’t give a shit about me.Fact – I want to rip his clothes off and fuck his brains out. "
66 " If I couldn’t have her, I had to hate her. It was the only way I could get over her.But as I sit here and watch her leave my house, I know that deep down, I never did. "
67 " Are you thinking about when I kissed you?”Her lips part. “No.”I keep walking toward her, waiting for her to stop me. “No? You don’t want me to hold you in my arms, press my lips to yours, and remind you how good we fit?” She doesn’t move and now we’re just a breath apart. I could kiss her right now.I could do everything I’ve wanted to.But I won’t make a fool of myself again.“No, I don’t.”She’s lying, but I’ll let her have it.“The next time I kiss you, London Parish, it’ll be because you beg me to,” I promise her. "
68 " Only you. Always you. "

69 " Don’t spend your life worried about what people think of you, Margot. That kind of fear is like a cage—it will trap you forever if you’re not careful. "

70 " We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly, "

71 " I’m not asking for a promise. I’m asking for a chance. That’s all. A chance. "
72 " I felt like two halves of me were splitting apart—one wanted so badly to be granted that second chance at loving someone and allowing myself to be loved, while the other demanded I serve out my life sentence alone in the prison I’d built for myself. "
73 " And I cried for what would never be, a chance that would never be taken. "
74 " Careful, city girl. I’ll want to keep you. "
75 " I know I could love you. "
76 " Second chances are not given to make things right, but are given to prove that we could be even better after we fall. "
77 " So you were looking for a bathroom in the woods?”“Well, yes.” She swallowed. “Sort of. But then I heard a splash and saw you…” Her cheeks were practically purple now.I played dumb. “Saw me what?”“Saw you naked, OK?” she blurted, throwing her hands up. “I admit it—I saw you naked.”I had no hang-ups about nudity, but I was damn serious about my privacy, and about people sneaking up on me. But her embarrassment was funny. The two times I’d seen her before, she’d been so polished and poised. It felt good to put her in her place a little. “So you climbed a tree for a better view, is that it? "
78 " There must be a reason you’re here after all this time.” The mischief was back in his cocky Elvis half-grin, and I felt like punching him. But instead I saw the opening and took it. “If you must know, there is.” “I must know.” “Me too,” said Lou, raising his hand for the bartender to bring him another beer. “Fine.” I glared at both of them before focusing my full attention on Nick. “I need a favor.” His grin widened. “Sexual, I hope. "
79 " Theo’s face turned a deep shade of purple. He seemed completely unnerved by my mother, which I found kind of funny. "

80 " You plucked my virginity from me as easily as a ripe apple from a tree?” His jaw dropped in mock outrage. “Easy! I had to work hard for that apple! For months I had to pet the tree, kiss the tree, sweet talk the tree--”…“It was the most delicious apple I’ve ever had in my entire life. I’ve never had one better. "
