1 " Nice Lincoln legs.""I bet you say that to all the girls." Sterling was kind of growing on me. I liked his sense of humor."Actually, I do," he admitted. "Can't help it. All i can say is that someone needs to assassinate those socks. They do all sorts of horrible things to the female figure which, come to think of it, i might be the purpose of them all.""How so?""Isn't it obvious?

Sterling didn't say anything about an obstacle course did he? I'd never run five miles in my entire life and now i was going to have to do it every day? And with obstacles on most of those days? I am going to die, I thought, I am literally going to have a heart attack and die the very first day.Well, that's one way to get out of being a mandate." "

8 " I couldn't even think about the fact that I'd just met him last night. All that mattered in that moment was that our bodies were drawn to one another with the gravity of souls that had known each other for years. "
9 " Love is a funny thing. Once you decide someone is worthy of it, you have to trust that person not to break you. "
