1 " What’s wrong is that every morning and every night, I lie in bed wondering why you’re not beside me. "
― K.A. Tucker , Ten Tiny Breaths (Ten Tiny Breaths, #1)
2 " There’s something different about him, and I don’t have to think hard to see it. Something about the way he takes over a room, the way he looks at me, like he has already identified and can disarm every one of my defense mechanisms with no effort, like he sees through them to the disaster lying beneath. And he wants it. "
3 " Society is better off with me in a gym. "
4 " Do You think it matters if they're tiny or deep? he asked. Well, if they're not tiny breaths and they're not deep breaths, then they're just ... breaths. Then you're just breathing for the sake of ... breathing. ... Seize them. Feel them. Love them ... "
5 " Must have been some kind a nightmare.”“Yeah,” I answer, my usual calm, vacant voice returning. “Can’t wait to wake up. "
6 " No human can bury their past indefinitely. It’s only a matter of time before you crack. "
7 " He leans in closer and closer until his breath caresses my mouth. I’m paralyzed. I swear he’s going to kiss me. I swear I’m going to let him. "
8 " There’s no getting better, Storm. This is it.” There’s no coming back from the dead. "
9 " What the hell do I have to do to get your attention? Do I need to get up there?” I throw an arm toward the stage. His eyes swell for just a second, in shock. He reaches forward to hold my hands, but he catches himself in time and instead folds them across his chest. “Believe me, you have my full attention. "
10 " I barrel into his arms, my mouth connecting with his. Seizing him. Feeling him. Loving him. "
11 " I could lay here and stare at him forever. I don’t want to let go. Ever. "
12 " Just breathe. Ten tiny breaths … Seize them. Feel them. Love them. "
13 " Trent’s chest rises with a quick inhale as his hands lift to grab mine and pull them out, placing them with a pat on the outside of his shirt. “Okay, you win. But don’t do that while I’m driving or we’ll end up in a ditch.” He looks over his shoulder again, adding in a soft, solemn tone, “I’m serious, Kacey. I can’t handle it. "
14 " And if that’s all he’s looking for then we’ll set fire to his balls.” “What?” Storm’s face twists in a mixture of shock and amusement.I shrug. “What can I say, Storm? I’m into some weird shit. "
15 " Now that I’ve come to terms with the fact that the bastard is going to affect me whether I like it or not, he’s even hotter than before. "
16 " The officer asks me if I want to press charges against Trent and I glare at him like he’s grown an arm out of his ass. "
17 " Mia bows dramatically. “Welcome, kind Sir. Princess Mia has been awaiting your presence. "
18 " Just breathe," my mom would say, "Ten tiny breaths... Seize them. Feel them. Love them. "
19 " I don't hate you. I could never hate you. Give me your heart, Kacey. I'll take everything that comes with it. "
20 " I want to make you smile. For real. Always. We're going to go for dinners, and see movies, and walk on the beach. We'll go hang-gliding, or bungee jumping, or whatever you want to do. Whatever makes you smile and laugh more. Let me make you smile. "
