1 " The thing about pain, whether physical or emotional, is there's no running away. You can't escape it and you can't hide from it.

Sooner or later you'll have to take a breath, let the pain rush in and get to the other side like your life depends on it. Because it does. "

2 " Damn, I know. I remember your mountains of books. I want to build you a library." Jack lowered his mouth and kissed me. I swallowed as emotion clogged my throat. He might as well have asked me to marry him. "
3 " It occurred to me that the moment in space and time before lips touch, the small exquisite sting of wanting, a beat of thirst, of yearning, was the most underrated part of kissing. There should be sonnets and epic poems written about the space before a kiss, and the thrilling rush that comes with the moment of contact. "
4 " The way I feel about you was never a decision. It just was. I was made to love you. I never fell, I was already there. From the very first moment. "
5 " Christian Grey?” Jazz asked haughtily. “Me-thinks more Gideon Cross. That man can wear a suit. "
6 " No, it's real Jack. And real Jack has very real, like crazy, crazy, real feelings for you that might actually scare the shit outta him a little. "
7 " It’s a pity for him,” he said with an even voice, "
8 " I don’t know how to go back to where we were, to what we had,” he breathed softly, “to what we were supposed to be.” He paused again. “What we are meant to be. "
9 " I, Jack Eversea, am … utterly in … love … with you, Keri Ann Butler.” I "

11 " I held the power to crush him right at this moment. The knowledge was humbling and terrifying. Didn’t he know I’d rather drown myself in the ocean than use that power? "
12 " This is as real as it gets, Keri Ann. This is Technicolor, when everything else is black and white. "
13 " It occurred to me that the moment in space and time before lips touch, the small exquisite sting of wanting, a beat of thirst, of yearning, was the most underrated part of kissing.

14 " If you touch me right now,” Jack rasped, cutting through the silence, “I’m taking it as a yes to us.” He leaned his sweat-slicked body closer, and my heart fell right though me. “And I’m never,” he drew the word out, “letting you go. "
15 " Just …” Exhaling deeply, his jaw tensed tightly, the muscle twitched over and over. His expression was tortured. “Just … try and remember,” he swallowed and grabbed my hand, pressing it against his chest. “Whatever anyone sees on the outside … this is yours in here.
