1 " I can’t live my life waiting for it not to hurt before I start existing again. "
― Jay Crownover , Leveled (Saints of Denver, #0.5)
2 " Bad stuff happens sometimes and it happens to people we care about. You can’t live life insulated because you are scared of getting too close. "
3 " Most things that are easy aren’t worth much. It’s the things you have to work for that matter the most. "
4 " How can things begin if you're already planning the ending? "
5 " There is no going back but there is accepting your new normal. "
6 " In my experience as long as he treats you right and appreciates you then no man is the wrong kind of man. "
7 " I'd kissed plenty of boys in my time but never one that made my head spin to the point that it made me forget where I was. "
8 " Since the beginning is where things seem perfect and the ending is always tragic, why don't we skip to the middle? There're good things in the middle. "
9 " If the guy across from me was a cherry-red Ferrari, then I was a rusted-out and battered John Deere tractor in comparison. "
10 " Who knew freckles could be so sexy? "
11 " Most things that are easy aren't worth much. It's the things you have to work for that matter most. "
12 " Bad things happened, it was how we navigated the fallout afterward that really defined what our new normal would be. "
13 " Anger takes up a lot of space if you let it. "
14 " How can things begin if you’re already planning the ending? Doesn’t seem fair.” His breath was warm and tingled the skin at the side of my neck. “You’re right. It doesn’t, so since the beginning is where things usually seem perfect and the ending is always tragic, why don’t we just skip to the middle? There’re good things in the middle. "
15 " It felt like the most meaningful conversation I had ever had was happening even though no words were exchanged as we looked at each other. "
16 " You won’t be my client forever, Dom, but you will be a cop for the foreseeable future. I already lost someone I cared about and I barely came back from the pain of that. I’m not a strong enough man to care about someone that purposely puts themselves at risk . . . even if you are more than tempting. "
17 " It took me a second to realize he was taking the time to brush his fingers over each and every single freckle that dotted my skin. There were a lot of them so by the time he got to the ones below my bellybutton I was kiss drunk and sex stupid. "
18 " He might look distinguished and fancy, but he kissed rough and dirty. "
