1 " Why did you…?” She glanced at his chest. “Can you put a shirt on please?”The night was warm and he was wearing a pair of basketball shorts and nothing else. Cary glanced down at his bare chest. “No.”“You’re not going to put on a shirt?”“It’s hot. Is my chest offending you?”“It’s…distracting.”“Then I’m definitely not going to put on a shirt. "

2 " I’m in love with Jeremy Allen, and I have no idea how to teach a baby how to use a toilet. "
3 " His breath tickled the hair at her temple. “Talk to me.”She shook her head.“Then tell me to leave you alone.”I can’t. "
4 " We can’t do this.”“Fuck that,” he growled. “We already are.”She shook her head.“Stop lying to yourself,” he said. “What are you so damn afraid of?”“Afraid?” A Bitter laugh burst from her. “Oh…you have no idea.” She turned and started walking back to her car.“Fine!” He yelled. “Walk away, but don’t pretend like this is finished, because it’s not. "
5 " One way or another, their self-control wasn’t going to hold out forever. Something was going to snap. He just hoped they were in a relatively secluded place when it happened. "
6 " He was my friend.” Cary blinked hard. “And I miss him, but that doesn’t keep me from wanting you. Or recognizing what’s been growing here for years. "
7 " She kissed him and threw her leg over his hips. “This is giving me all kinds of ideas.”“Keep your ideas to yourself tonight,” he muttered. “I’m being good, but I’m not that good.”“No.” She pulled back and looked into his eyes. “You’re not good. You’re great. I’m sorry it took me so long to see that.”I am yours.I am yours.I am so yours.Cary cupped her cheek in his hand and stared at her. He rubbed his thumb over her lips. I love you like crazy, Melissa Rhodes. "
8 " As you getting weird about the two of us again?” Cary crossed his arms over his chest. “Just give me a heads up if you’re going to freak out, and I’ll plan my response accordingly. "
9 " When she fell for him, he wanted her to fight it. Just a little. It would make the surrender all the more satisfying. "
10 " She unbuckled her seatbelt and scooted closer to him, laying her head on his shoulder. “Don’t crash.”“Don’t do anything crazy and I’ll do my best.”“Was that a veiled reference to road head?”He shook his head and tried unsuccessfully to smother a smile. “Woman, you have a dirty mind.”“I read a lot of romance novels. They’re good for the imagination.”“I’ll remember that. "
11 " How did you make a choice between the life you always wanted and the life you never imagined you’d want? "
12 " The world around her seemed like it was covered in gauze some days. Nothing was clear or urgent. It was difficult to concentrate, and she often lost track of time. "
13 " Cary took a long drink. “Should have asked her out a year ago.”“I’m not twenty-two. I’m not interested in just hooking up anymore. And Tayla was pretty vocal about not wanting a boyfriend.”The corner of Cary’s mouth turned up. “And you thought you’d be the one man who could change her mind?”“Don’t make me sound like an asshole. It wasn’t like that.” It was kinda like that. "
14 " He glanced at her and the corner of his mouth turned up. He’d caught her staring.“You should look outside,” he said. “Enjoy the scenery. The wildflowers are incredible this year.”“I’m enjoying the scenery.” Her eyes didn’t move from his profile.Jeremy chuckled. “I love it.”“You like when I stare at you?”“You play the best games without playing any games.”Tayla burst into laughter. “You’re right. I make no secret of my purely superficial appreciation. You’re an incredibly handsome man.”“Thank you. And you are a very beautiful woman.”“Thank you. We definitely need to take pictures together. "
15 " I don’t want to think about tomorrow. Or next month. I want to be with you right here and now.” His mouth was so close she could feel his breath on her cheek. “You with me? "
16 " Hospice isn’t only for the dying, "
17 " Lily smiled sadly. “She’s ninety-five, Mrs. Brannon. This is up to her now. "
18 " Personally, I think if the world isn’t going to give you want you want, then you make the world your bitch until it gives it up. "
19 " Ben held her as they spun around the room, her body light against his. As they danced, his mind floated on a heady mix of champagne, triumph, and memory. He and Tenzin were laughing in a cargo truck driving through the Chinese countryside. They were dancing to scratched records on a steamy summer in Venice. They were sparring with daggers in a castle in Scotland. "
