21 " let’s say people are books. Everyone who comes into our lives is given a glimpse of a few of our pages. If they like us, we show them more pages. If we like them, we want them to see the unedited parts. Some people may make notes in the margins. Leave their marks upon us and our story. But ultimately, the words that are printed—that represent us as a person—don’t change without our permission. "

25 " Loving you … is the stupidest, most selfish thing I’ve ever done, but I can’t stop. God knows, I’ve tried. "
26 " You terrify me. But not enough to make me think you won’t be worth it. "
27 " Cassie … We’ve never been over. You know it as well as I do. Even when I was halfway around the world and you hated my guts, we weren’t over. You can feel it between us now. And the closer we are, the stronger it gets. "
28 " When you love someone, they should appear beautiful to you, no matter what they look like. "
29 " We stand there for a few seconds before he thrusts one of the cardboard cups at me and says, “Oh, shit. This is, uh…this is for you.”I take it and hold it up to my nose.“What is it?”“It’s an I’m-a-dick-achino.”I try to stop the smile that lifts the corners of my mouth. “Huh. Smells like plain old hot chocolate to me.”“Yeah, well, it turns out they were out of dick-achinos. I offered to make some more, but they said I was overqualified.”“They were right. "
30 " Sometimes people put up walls, not only to keep people out, but also to see who cares enough to tear them down. "
31 " I did tell you to go fuck yourself”“Yeah, but you didn’t mean it.”“Yeah, I did.”He frown. “Really? Wow. I totally misread that moment. "
32 " Let me help you be brave. "
33 " Shh. Don’t talk. Just let me smell you. "
34 " Humans are strange creatures. We lie every day, in a thousand different ways. The most common lie is, ‘I have read the terms and conditions.’ The second most common lie is, ‘I’m fine. "
35 " Don’t even try to tell me you’ll ever love someone as much as you love me, because as arrogant as it is to say, that’s bullshit. And I feel the same way about you. Everyone else is just going to be second best for us. Don’t you get that? "
36 " The thing about developing an addiction is that it happens so quietly, you don’t know how much trouble you’re in until it’s to late. It tiptoes through the rooms of your mind and body, gently inserting hooks and strings into every cell, until you don’t know where you end and it beginigs. And untangling that web is nearly impossible. "

39 " If our relationship was only based only on sex, do you think we’d have gone through all the shit we have? Sex is easy. It’s an itch that needs to be scratched, and as much as I love having sex with you, what I want from you isn’t easy.

You’re worth it. "
