22 " It’s called Stockholm syndrome. What’s your excuse? Mobster Decency Disorder? "
23 " Karma could have given me something easier to deal with—like an impending atom bomb or a nuclear disaster. But no, the comeuppance karma had dealt me was feelings. What a cunt. "
24 " All along, this man had been on the other side of the Atlantic.And maybe . . . just maybe, my soul always knew. "
25 " The truth was, I hadn’t truly lived yet. I’d experienced nothing besides the view of closed golden gates, the inside of a Russian mansion, and falling in love.If I didn’t find myself, love would be all I’d be. "
26 " I liked Ronan. I liked him a lot. "
27 " The moonlight loved her. But not as much as my shadows. “Ti slishkom ideal’naya chto bi byt’ nastoyashchey. "
28 " You feel pretty clingy right now, kotyonok.” The words were rough and tired and so very sexy.“You’re the one holding me tighter than your favorite stuffed animal,” I returned.“I don’t have favorites.” A lazy hint of humor touched the words. “They all matter to me. "
29 " I believe in happily-for-nows. They’re . . . real. Unique.” Dropping my necklace, I glanced at him, warmth and lightness pervading every cell in me. “I like unique. "

32 " nefelibata (n.) one who lives in the clouds of their own imagination "
33 " If you want to turn me in, so be it. I’d go back to prison for you, kotyonok, but when I get out, there’d better be an ocean between us. "
34 " I couldn’t bear the thought of living without him.It terrified me, this love that threatened dependence. The devotion was a bright glow that warmed my soul, though it also left me feeling vulnerable, as if my chest would simply tear open if I loved him anymore. "
35 " He pulled back to roughly say, “Ty dazhe na vkus sladkaya. "
36 " fudgel (n.) pretending to work while actually doing nothing "
37 " You hit him,” I challenged. “That was necessary to regain my concentration.” “Your concentration of watching me sleep.” “Yes,” he growled. "
38 " I turned to face him. “I just don’t want you to get bored while I go shopping.”“You’re enough entertainment for me alone. It’s like watching a circus. "
39 " Mamma, I don’t like her.” I expected a scolding, but I forgot this world defied all norms. “As much as I appreciate your honesty, cara,” Gianna said softly, “passive-aggressiveness gets the point across. It also makes us look like the better person in the end.” “What’s passiveagressivness?” “Sweetie, it’s been going on for the past few minutes. Pay attention. "
40 " Count down,” he ordered. “What?” I breathed. “Count. Down. "
