7 " I lost something recently," he tells me.My heart swells at the familiar voice, and I spin around to drop-dead-gorgeous cheekbones, a ruby-red visor, and lips that pull into a breathtaking smile. "Found her," he says. "

9 " Remember how when we were little?” I whisper. “You’d chase me around before midnight.”“You always ran out of breath.”“I wanted you to catch me.”“I thought so.”“Catch me,” I whisper.“I already have,” he murmurs. "
10 " I’m going to love Lily how I want to love her. Overwhelmingly, uncompromisingly. Look away if you have to. "
