4 " In the vast void, her kiss tells me I’m not alone. She touches her tongue to mine, and a groan slips out. I think it comes from me. I’m dizzy and breathless and full of strange emotions that I can’t make sense of and don’t want to. I know the gist. I’m happy. This is a high I’ve never been able to achieve through pills or booze or other people. "
― Erin Watt , Fallen Heir (The Royals, #4)
5 " Then he launches himself at me with a roar, and I let him take his shot. It’s weak, like he is. Like all bullies really are. That’s why they’re bullies. Because they’re insecure idiots who try to make themselves feel better. "
― Erin Watt , Broken Prince (The Royals, #2)
6 " But I do care. I hate myself for it, but I can’t fight this desperate need to try. Try to fit in. Try to make this school experience different than all the previous ones. "
7 " Do you love her?” I ask hoarsely.His head whirls toward me. “No.”“You sure about that?”“I don’t. Not the way you do.”I relax, just slightly. “Still. You care about her.”Of course he does. We all do, because that girl flew into our house like a whirlwind and made everything come alive again. She brought steel and fire. She made us laugh again. She gave us a purpose—at first, it was us uniting against her. Then it turned into us standing beside her. Protecting her. Loving her. "
8 " Look at you with the fancy Latin. Sure then, come and watch me lift. I get it—you want to see me without my shirt on. You know what? Let me give you a sneak peek. It’s awesome, by the way. You might want to close one eye to reduce the effect. "
9 " Auden wrote that when the boy falls from the sky after calamity after calamity, he still has a future somewhere and that there’s no point in dwelling on one’s loss. But did he suffer this? Would he have written that if he had lived my life?...Reed Royal has broken me. I’ve fallen from the sky and I’m not sure I can get up. Not this time. "
10 " —Sí. Se enamoraba bastante.—Entonces no se enamoraba de verdad. "
11 " Yeah,” Easton says, coming up on Ella’s other side. “Your room’s a mess.”“Because you keep watching football in there,” she mutters as we lead her away. “I expect you to clean it the moment we get back.”Easton stops at the penthouse door and looks at her incredulously. “I’m Easton Royal. I don’t clean shit.”Dad sighs. The twins snicker. Even the cops look like they’re trying not to laugh. "

12 " I was ashamed. Okay? Ashamed. Is that what you wanted to hear?”“Yeah, well, you know what I am? I’m the stupid girl in the horror movie. You made me into that stupid girl. I’m the one running back into the house where the guy with the knife is. You warned me. Over and over again, you told me to stay away. But I couldn’t listen. I thought I knew better "
13 " Somewhere along the line, I started thinking that if I just got through this bad experience, this bad day, that tomorrow I’d have something better, brighter, newer. I still believe that. I still believe that there’s something good out there for me. I just have to keep going until my time comes. "
14 " It’s you. It’s always been you and I’m tired of fighting it. "
15 " You’re poking a tiger.”I shrug. “He poked me first.” Callum shakes his head. “And I thought raising five boys was an adventure. I haven’t seen anything yet, have I?”- Callum Royal "
16 " I’m done playing games, Ella. No other girls exist in the world for me. If you see me talking to one, know that I’m talking about you. If you see me walking next to someone, I’m wishing it was you … You’re the only one for me. "
17 " My skill, if I have one, isn’t dancing. It’s my ability to believe that tomorrow can be a better day. "
18 " You want me to say it?” he whispers. “Fine, I’ll say it. I want you. I fucking want you. "
19 " I hate feeling like I don't belong. "
20 " She’s mine and always has been. From before we even met, she was mine and I was hers. I fought it too long, but I’m giving in now. I’m all in now. "
