Lily Morton QUOTES

2 " Shithead Boss Man, eh? You know, Dylan, I really lucked out in the assistant department. The other partners in the firm have ended up with someone awful, who soothes them, is at their beck and call and agrees with them all the time. I got one who is sarcastic, argumentative, scruffy, rarely where he should be, and calls me Shithead Boss Man rather than Sir.”

Jude laughs at him, before reaching out and swiping one of the prawns from my carton of sweet and sour. “He’d call you Sir if you spanked him. "

4 " The truth is that I will always need you more than you need me. It’s also the truth that I’m not a good bet for someone as vital and young as you. I’m bad tempered, a perfectionist who is too serious, and too used to being on my own. You could go out tomorrow and find someone better for you, but the truth is that no one will ever need you like I do.” He pauses and then says firmly. “No one will ever love you like I do. "

6 " He stares at me. “So you’re telling me that you obey all my orders, because honestly that would be news to me?”

“I always obey your orders,” I say indignantly. “I am quite possibly the best assistant in history.”

“That would certainly be true, if you were the only assistant in history. "

8 " I’ve spoken to Sid,” she admits. “He says he’s never seen Charlie so bad. He won’t eat, he’s lost weight and he looks terrible. Sid says it’s the first time he’s ever been so bored by him that he’s considered smothering him. "

10 " My mother used euphemisms about everything. She used to announce her visits to the gynaecologist by saying she was seeing someone about her problems with the down belows. Made her sound a bit like a cruise ship that had been beached. "

12 " He’s lovely,” I say, putting my hand out to the dog. “What’s his name?”
“Boris Johnson.”
I blink. “Pardon?”
He smiles. “Because he’s blond and stupid and makes very questionable decisions. "

14 " He flushes slightly. “I was mad about him when I was fifteen.”
“How didn’t I know this?” I say indignantly. “We tell each other everything.”
“Not anymore,” Dylan adds hastily, looking at Gabe, but he shrugs unconcerned.
“Don’t try and cover it up, Dylan. Jude’s our very own Camilla - the third person in our relationship.”
“Why am I the old woman in this scenario?” I say indignantly. “I want to be the younger, much fitter princess, who captured people’s hearts and minds.”
“You would have been, babe,” Dylan says hastily. “And you’d look way better with a tiara than she does.”
“I would,” I nod firmly. “I would be a very desirable addition to the royal family, and a very stabilizing influence, if I do say so myself. I also have a full head of my own hair.”
Gabe shakes his head. “I’m worried that I not only follow these odd flights of fancy, but I find myself actually wanting to weigh in with my own opinions.”
“What did you want to say?” Dylan asks immediately, but he shakes his head.
“I said I wanted to, not that I was going to. I’m looking through the windows of the mental asylum, not going through the door. "

16 " I feel something snap and settle in me. It's the last piece of my heart, falling for him without any input from me at all. "

18 " He huffs. “Well, because of
Phillip. Oh, I’m sorry.” He puts his hand over his mouth. “Was I not allowed to
say his name?”

“He’s not Voldemort,” I mutter,
and Asa laughs, "

20 " Forever?” I say softly, and Asa buries his head in my neck.
I shiver as I feel, as well as hear his words falling into the air like a magical incantation.
“It’s a deal, Jude. "
