41 " I blinked down the street where the jeep had vanished. I felt the unexplainable urge to storm after them and do something I'd hoped I'd regret -like choke Marcie with her stupid red thong. "
― Becca Fitzpatrick , Crescendo (Hush, Hush, #2)
42 " If I missed out on some really big action, I’m going to be royally pissed off! "
43 " The guy I've got my eye on happens to be hot. Off-the-charts hot. Hotter-than-Patch hot." She paused. "Well maybe not that hot. Nobody's that hot. "
44 " Maybe Scotty the Potty turned into Scotty the Hottie. Have you thought about that? "
45 " With you, what you see is what you get. And I see cheap. "
46 " I hung my fingertips on his waistband, tugging him closer.Patch buried his face in the curve of my shoulder, his hands flexing over my back. He gave a low groan."I love you," he murmured into my hair. "I'm happier right now than I ever remember being. "
47 " Patch stood over me, and a drop of rain slid from his hair, landing like ice on my collarbone. I felt it slide along my skin, disappearing beneath the neckline of my shirt. His eyes followed the raindrop, and I began to quiver on the inside. "
48 " He's got the whole bad-boy-in-need-of-redemption thing going on, but the catch is, most bad boys don't want redemption. They like being bad. They like the power they get from striking fear and panic into the hearts of mothers everywhere "
49 " I tended to be more a romantic than a realist, and chose blind faith over cold logic. "
50 " When I'm wasted, I can almost forget who I am," he said, his smile fading slightly. "I know I'm still there, but only barely. It's a good place to be." He tipped back the thermos, eyes on the dark sea straight ahead "
51 " I got to my feet and brushed sand off the seat of my pants. 'How about you sell me the 'Stang for thirty dollars? I can even pay cash.' He laughed, slinging his arm around my shoulders. 'Drunk, but not that drunk, Grey. "
52 " Everything had come into sharp focus: his smooth words, his black, glinting eyes, his broad experience with lies, seduction, women. I'd fallen in love with the devil. "
53 " I wondered why life had to suck so hard sometimes. "
54 " They said the moment I fell in love with you was the moment you'd leave. "
55 " You're crazy. You're impossible.""I'm crazy?"He tipped my chin up and planted a quick, rough kiss on my mouth. "And I must be crazy for putting up with it. "
56 " I’m really starting to like all this spy work,” Vee said. “When my normal life gets boring, all I have to do is sidle up next to you. "
57 " You killed my Dad." Any trace of kindness or sympathy vanished from Rixon's eyes. "Well this is awkward. "
58 " She already has a car.”“A Ford. That’s like Toyota’s worst enemy. "
59 " Why did everyone think I needed a new boyfriend? I didn't need a new boyfriend. I'd had enough of boyfriends to last a lifetime. The only thing a boyfriend was good for was a shattered heart. "
60 " You're going to have to drive off the road and park behind thoses bushes," I instructed Vee.Vee leaned forward, peering into the darkness. "Is that a ditch between me and the bushes ?""It's not very deep. Trust me, we'll clear it.""Looks deep to me. This is a Neon we're talking about, not a Hummer. "
