1 " And I know that when you get hurt, your first instinct is to run. But I also realized something else. No one has ever followed you when you did run. But I'm going to follow, and I'm going to keep following until you realize that you can trust me. I'm not going to let you run away from something that could be so great. That is so great. Marty, I love you.- Nate "
― Kathy Love , Wanting Something More (Stepp Sisters Trilogy, #3)

3 " We're going up there," she told them. " To the Keep. Your first instinct will be to protect me, I know-" " Here it comes," Dyer muttered" But do me a favor and protect each other. Understand, Dyer?" " Yes, Lady, yes! Because that's what I signed up for: to guard other guards while I leave the Queen to her own devices. "
4 " Why did you tell me it was just a kiss?" she asked, waiting for her voice to break. " I don't even care about that other girl. I mean, I do, but not as much. Why was your first instinct to tell me that what happened between you and me didn't matter? And why should I believe you now when you say that it did? Why should I believe anything you say? "
5 " If you do believe in God, and your first instinct in all things must be gratitude: for creation, or love, for mercy. "
