1 " Although, nothing is really lost forever. When a thing is meant to be found, the right person will find it. "
― Melanie Harlow , Forked (Frenched, #2)
2 " I love you. And I want you. But I don’t want to live this way— being called a liar and an asshole for the rest of my life because of something stupid I did when I was twenty- two. I don’t want every argument we ever have to circle back to it. I’m not that guy anymore, Coco. I’m not perfect, but given the chance, I know I could make you happy. Tell me what to do to get that chance. "
3 " Some girls, like Mia, can’t eat when they’re anxious about something, but not me. I gobble my way through anxiety like a lawnmower, and I fuel it with booze. "
4 " There must be a reason you’re here after all this time.” The mischief was back in his cocky Elvis half-grin, and I felt like punching him. But instead I saw the opening and took it. “If you must know, there is.” “I must know.” “Me too,” said Lou, raising his hand for the bartender to bring him another beer. “Fine.” I glared at both of them before focusing my full attention on Nick. “I need a favor.” His grin widened. “Sexual, I hope. "
5 " You plucked my virginity from me as easily as a ripe apple from a tree?” His jaw dropped in mock outrage. “Easy! I had to work hard for that apple! For months I had to pet the tree, kiss the tree, sweet talk the tree--”…“It was the most delicious apple I’ve ever had in my entire life. I’ve never had one better. "
6 " With a grunt of frustration, he grabbed the back of my head and pulled my lips to his, kissing me hard. “You drive me crazy. Tell me you’ll do it forever. "
7 " We have history. That has weight. It has meaning. And you of all people know that just because something is in the past doesn’t mean it’s dead and buried. "
8 " Coco, not a day goes by that I don’t regret what happened between us. I thought I was doing the right thing, but I made a mistake. And it cost me the love of my life. "
9 " Because this felt real. Familiar. Right. As if we were picking up our story where we left off, but now we had a chance to give it a better ending. "
10 " Don’t you need this? I mean, doesn’t it have your notes on it?” He shook his head. “Nah, I didn’t take any notes.” “You didn’t?” “No. I’m not even in this class.” “Then what are you—” “I saw you walking across campus and followed you in here. I wrote my number down on that piece of paper. "
