1 " We're a little off balance, and it's not even comfortable anymore, but it feels so safe and so right. "
― Phil Stamper , Golden Boys (Golden Boys, #1)
2 " I feel the past clinging to me like condensation on a glass of water. He’s everywhere around me. He’s my relief, and my protection. "
3 " He does this thing sometimes where he gets overly apologetic in an attempt to shield himself from any critique. And I get why he’s doing it now - he’s not used to feeling so insecure. But I will not let him flip this on me. "
4 " You were always amazing. And I’m sorry if I ever fed into your insecurities or anxieties or made you feel like you needed to change. You never needed reinventing. You know that now, I hope. The person you were tonight, the person you’ve been all summer - he’s perfect.”“The only time I felt confident was when I was in your arms.” he says. “I loved what you brought out in me. Not just the sex stuff, though that was fun. I liked myself more when I was with you. And I think I needed to be away from you to figure out how to like myself all those other times.”“But that was you. That wasn’t me. I need you to remember that. And maybe we won’t fall back into this so easily next time. "
5 " And honestly, I wanted to see what it was like... something distracting and fun with no strings attached. But I don’t want that. I want you. And I want complicated, and I want all the strings attached. "
