1 " And it made me wonder if sometimes the greatest loss you ever feel is something that nobody will see when they look at you. "
― Rachel Van Dyken , Fraternize (Players Game, #1)
2 " Because when your heart breaks, somehow it keeps beating. "
3 " Who quite possibly could end up being the right one. Because no matter how damaged your heart may be, it never loses its ability to choose again, to try again, to want love even after loss. "
4 " You like me because I find your faults?” “Hell no.” He laughed. “I like you because you make me want to fix them. "
5 " Because no matter how damn bad I wanted to be the guy sharing her present, I’d lost that opportunity the minute I walked away in her past. "
6 " Right now, I want to take care of you. Just you. And then I want to hold you, in my bed. And not sleep a room away from you, wondering if the last man you think about is the same one I have to get along with for the next sixteen games without ripping his head off or wondering if he misses your taste the way I would. If he thinks about you naked like I’m going to. I can’t do that now. Not after tonight. Probably not ever. So don’t analyze this, don’t make this about you. Let it be about me, this man sharing a bed with you, and his jealousy over a past he was never a part of—and the fear he has over the fact that the past could still unfairly dictate his future. "
7 " You refused to be my friend. And everyone wants to be my friend, for whatever reasons they have. But you pushed, which meant you were the good ones. And when you looked at me, It wasn't about what I had. It was what I was lacking.""You like me because I find your faults?""H*ll no. I like you because you make me want to fix them. "
8 " Because every time I tried to erect a wall, he made me feel stupid for having one in the first place. "
9 " If you need to cry, I’ll hold you until you’re done. Sometimes the only way to get over things is to walk through them, but that doesn’t mean you have to do it on your own. "
10 " Because one day, he’s going to regret walking away from you. And I want to be there when it’s too late—when you’re in my arms, my bed instead. "
11 " Loss is loss, allow yourself to feel it so you can deal with it. "
12 " Eat the fries before I orgasm in front of the whole resturant, Em. "
13 " What? You're not going to ask me to have sex with you?""Nope. Because when you actually like a girl, you're willing to wait until she's ready. "
14 " Does that mean you're going to walk with me?""That's all I've wanted since meeting you. You know, other than sex. "
15 " I would have fucking run back to you. "
16 " And it made me wonder if sometimes the greatest loss you ever feel is something that nobody will see when they look at you.Because when your heart breaks, somehow it keeps beating. "
17 " Will you please move into my apartment and share this amazingly comfortable ten-thousand-dollar bed with me? "
18 " You realize that when I asked you to move in with me, it's with full knowledge that together we're going to figure out how to get your dad the best care he needs, right? "
19 " Please tell me that you'll do that to me in bed sometime. I love a good...tackle. "
20 " I know you guys have a past. But can you leavve it there? So I can be your future? "
