1 " Women are not short. They’re petite. They also are never middle-aged. They’re mature. "
― Kristen Ashley , Soaring (Magdalene, #2)
2 " Fuck yeah,” he answered. “The mistakes we make in life don’t define us, Amy. The way we handle ’em after makin’ ’em do. "
3 " You have absolutely no idea what I need,” I whispered. “And the sad part about that is that you didn’t notice you’d already given me everything I’d ever need just letting me sit at your dinner table with your family.” And on that, I closed and locked the door. "
4 " Life isn’t always beauty,” he returned. “Most of the time it’s shit. But you keep fightin’ to turn it around, that says it all about you. And you’re fightin’. As a fighter too, I fuckin’ love that in you. "
5 " He kept grinning. “Told the guys. They’re pretty happy about the new shit that’s coming.” “Of course they are,” I returned. “It’s a sixty inch TV. A woman is happy with six inches. For a man to get happy, it has to be sixty.” He burst out laughing. “Do I speak truth?” I asked. His brows shot up. “You’d be happy with six inches?” “I was happy with less than that for sixteen years so I guess the answer is yes.” He kept laughing but started doing it so hard the bed shook. "
6 " Love you, Amy.” I stilled completely. He felt it. “I don’t care if that’s too soon for you,” he announced. “You do with it what you want. Keep it and hold it to you and hope like fuck you give it back when you’re ready. But you gotta know, it’s yours. "
7 " He didn't need me in his life. I didn't even like me in my life. Alas, I couldn't escape me. "
8 " Anyone can find themselves in a place they don't want to be, and even knowin' they don't wanna be there, they can't get out. It's findin' it in you to get out that says it all about you, Amy "
9 " You clearly have an overabundance of testosterone in a way it’s harmful to your health. "
10 " I was no longer young. "But I'm not dead yet, "
11 " What looks good to you?” Bradley asked. Mickey Donovan, I did not answer. "
12 " There I was again. Soaring. Though, these days, I’d learned how to live with my head in the clouds. “God, I love you,” I whispered. "
13 " Girl, you got a couch and a bed. You don’t even have a TV. You gotta step this shit up. "
14 " Now that stupid shit is done, "
15 " You know, Stone, just because a pretty girl prefers a firefighter to you doesn’t mean all the boys at that firehouse need to suffer for you bein’ jilted. Far’s I know, you got served this lesson at least once before. Learn, son. You may actually land a girl one day if you stop actin’ like an ass. "
16 " The mistakes we make in life don’t define us, Amy. The way we handle ’em after makin’ ’em do. You made a mistake. Now you’re handling it and doing it the right way and that’s who you are. "
17 " All my life I was the girl who everyone thought had everything or could get it. But the only thing I ever wanted was a man like you. You’re the best man I’ve ever met, Mickey Donovan. And you’re mine. "
18 " There is nothing guaranteed in life. But the only leaps really worth taking are leaps of faith on love. So look where you leap, beautiful, and happy landing. "
19 " She was very right. "
20 " Watch your shit with that guy. He’s a man with a little dick but he still likes to swing it. "
