1 " You're short. . . Why are you short." "I was born this way." "Mentally challenged, not vertically challenged, darlin. Why are you short? "

2 " I am a jer," he declares, his tone brazenly unapologetic. "No, you're not. A jerk doesn't put Panadol out for a girl. A jerk doesn't carry a girl to her room and not even try to sleep with her." His eyebrows are level and he fixes me with a stare. "You were unconscious. That's not a jerk; that's a rapist. You keep saying shit like that and it's gonna worry me. "

4 " Cassidy," Flick whispers. "Max is fucking you with his eyes right now. "
5 " Looking at it though, I remember what my mum had once told me: 'Everyone is made up of little contradictory pieces and you should never judge another person's decisions because you don't know the pieces they have to choose from.'A thief is a criminal until he's stealing to feed his kin. A neglectful mother is a bad mother until she is working two jobs to give her children the best opportunities. A gun is terrifying until it's what's keeping you safe, and then you're terrified without it. Some of us have a lot of contradictory pieces. Some less. My heart vibrates as I turn to watch Max sleep again. I don't know much about his pieces, but I know he has a lot of them. And they all have weight. "
6 " God doesn't do terrible things to people, little one. People do terrible things to people. "

8 " My body trembles, and I am a silly little girl because I'd thought love would be warmth in my chest and heart, and peace and contentment in my soul. But it's not contentment. It's not peaceful. It's terrifying. It's so strong that I know it could undo me. It could unravel everything that I am, strip me back until I'm nothing but bare bones and a swollen heart. "
9 " But he needs to know that if anyone disturbs her peace, gets in her way, derails her progress out of the fucking nightmare I've put her in - Fuck. If she so much as feels unsafe. Even a hint. A murmur of unease. I'll rip his world apart. Dismantle it. Dirty deed by dirty deed. "

10 " Ineffable. That's what this is. This thing of ours. It’s fucking ineffable "
11 " I love you, Max," she whispers into our kiss.A shiver rushes through me as those words fuck with my head. I devour her sweet-talking lips, fucking eat her mouth, sucking and tonguing her, wanting to taste every inch of the place those words came from. Claim every inch. It's just a fucking word, but when it sounds like a purr - husky and soft and breaking with sentimentality - it makes a damn fool out of me. Because I'm starting to believe in it. "
12 " My mother once told me that 'if you avoid conflict to prevent a battle, you often start a war in your heart.'My heart belongs to Max. And I am willing to support him in this battle. "
13 " After all her fighting, after clawing through life to survive, for a moment, she was willingly drowning. "

14 " She laughs a little. "But do you trust him?""I have to. I've decided I'd rather risk heartbreak than regret. "

15 " Every time I was with a girl, there was always something missing. There was a hole - emptiness. No matter how much I tried to fill it, it only grew. As if the more I tried to fill it, the clearer the inadequacies of what I was trying to fill it with became.” He clears his throat.“What I’m trying to say is, every girl I’ve been inside, every girl I’ve touched, has only made not having you in my life more obvious. "

16 " Worrying is like a rocking horse. It gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you anywhere. "
17 " I love you, Max Butcher," I whisper. "I don't deserve you" - he presses his lips to mine - "Cassidy Slater. I'm keeping you anyway. "
18 " She has been through hell. So, believe me when I say, fear her when she looks in the fire and smiles." -E.Corona. "
