1 " I heard if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything. Let me tell you, I’ve always hated that saying. "
― Ashlan Thomas , To Love (The To Fall Trilogy #3)
2 " Well, I found I am my own best company. I don’t annoy myself and I always have something important I want to hear myself say. "
3 " I tried like hell to hide how painful this was, how much my heart was breaking, how much it hurt to breathe. "
4 " Because when you love someone, truly love them, you accept them for who they are. You only want their happiness, regardless if it shatters your heart beyond repair. You don’t change them. That’s a true sin. I love you just as you are. I only want you to be happy and to find the love you desire, even if it’s not me. "
5 " With the strength of a vow, I knew this woman was made for me, she belonged with me, and hers were the only lips I was meant to kiss. She was the only woman I would dream of when I closed my eyes. When she smiled, the sun shone brightly, warming me, and when she cried, the Heavens rained on my soul. I would guard her and protect her, our souls forever linked in life and death. "
6 " The desire intensified, burned, and consumed us until we let go of the world shattering around us. We surrendered and fell into the sweet abyss of love, our souls entwined, never to be broken on Earth or in Heaven. We were, and forever would be, as one. "
7 " There was a term that gave little meaning to what coursed through us. What we felt went beyond words, beyond understanding. But if love was the only way to describe what I felt for her, then I would say I loved her until my final breath. "
8 " I love you. Everything I do is for us, for our family, for our future. Never doubt me. I promised you old, wrinkled, and arthritic. I won’t break that promise to you. "
9 " Desperation ran deep, needing Xander’s affection, his love, craving it as much as the air I breathed. "
10 " If possible, I loved her even more. She didn’t even think of herself. Defend my brother? The thought was near laughable that a five-foot human girl would want to defend the honor of the mighty Guardian angel Alexander. But I knew just how she felt. I, too, wanted to defend his honor. He had given Abby a beautiful gift, and he would rather rip his own heart out than put her through this. "
11 " I know your heart as well as my own. I just don’t know how to find you.” Her lips trembled and one tear fell. “Please believe that I’m trying. "
12 " I always started with his feet, but my eyes locked onto his hips first. They rested just above low-lying black nylon shorts, and how they stayed on those hips was some kind of Heavenly act. I followed the path laid out before me of abdominal muscles that any artist of the human form would envy that I had such intimate knowledge of. The skin of his golden chest covering perfect pectorals was inches away. The next stop my eyes made, though, made me pause. A wry smirk looked back at me. I was staring. Again. "
13 " Do you seriously consider yourself running? I’ve seen turtles hit faster speeds. "
14 " I thought you angels were smart. You spend a lot of time trying to figure things out. "
15 " You never asked for my critique, but I think you’re kind of a shitty angel. "
16 " All right, funny man, you’re pushing the cart.”He griped, “Which was a given since you can’t see over it.”“Huh, I actually thought I was helping you out.”He yanked his sunglasses off and knitted his brows. “How?”“I thought maybe you could use it as a walker, that ginormous head of yours must be a back breaker. "
17 " I’m sorry to tell you this, Abby, but I don’t think chicken legs are considered physically fit. "
18 " You read my mind, Andy!”“It wasn’t hard. Your mind reads like a toddler’s picture book. "
19 " I think you need to check the expiration date on your manna seeds. "
20 " I can’t believe I’m saying this, but will someone please put pants on him! "
