101 " Opportunity lasts a moment. Regret lasts a lifetime "
― Parker S. Huntington , Darling Venom
102 " I do. Let’s cut the shit and stop pretending that we’re strangers. You never belonged with Reed, Little Tiger. He is domesticated. You are wild. To tame you would be a travesty. The sooner you get that, the sooner you can move on. "
― Parker S. Huntington , Devious Lies (Cruel Crown, #1)
103 " By the time we fell asleep, I’d planted flowers in Nash’s graveyard of haunted memories.Wilted ones, because those were me.And he watered them with stormwater, because that was him "
104 " If you think about it, the concept of a photograph is fucking mind-blowing. A moment in time. Captured. Preserved. Forever. I shouldn’t have torn your Polaroid of Reed. "
105 " Fate is a hurricane. You think you know where it's going. You think you're safe. And just when you think you’ve weathered the storm, its path moves directly into yours. "
106 " If Reed was the prince of peaceful forests and snowless mountains, Nash was the king of smoke, and ashes, and lies. He was the fire that ravaged those forests and the ashes that rained down on those mountains. I wanted to inhale his smoke, coat my tongue with his ashes, and bury myself in his lies.But smoke ruined lungs.Ashes tasted like death.And lies blinded dreamers.I was a dreamer.He was a nightmare. "

112 " He smelled of beer and leather and cigarettes and trouble. Like a bad boy. "
113 " Instead, he took a seat between Niccolaio and Lacy and ignored me.Same as the next day.And the next.And the next. "

116 " The fabric dropped, "
117 " That was the thing about loneliness. Once it entered, it didn’t leave. "
118 " The cafe across from the hotel served chicken and dumplings that reminded me of the ones Ma made. So, even though I preferred unclogged arteries at seven in the morning, I indulged myself for sentimentality’s sake. Chicken and dumplings used to be Dad’s favorite. We had it every holiday and for all three meals on his birthday. These didn’t hold a candle to Ma’s, but the dumplings had been cut into the same shape, and if I squinted my eyes and medicated myself enough, I could probably convince myself they were Ma’s. Add in some hallucinogenics, and I’d be fighting Dad for the leftovers. "
