22 " This is the best and worst part about having a friend who’s so close to you. You know what to expect from them, and they know what to do to get a reaction out of you. "
23 " Here’s to nipples, because without them, tits would be fucking pointless. "
24 " Time is precious, waste it wisely "
25 " That’s the fix for all of this? Eat Kisses?” I laugh, wishing life were just that easy: all things fixable with chocolate. "
26 " Wild keeps a man on his toes … causes him to always pay attention, not take a single thing for granted. When a man gets complacent, he can lose sight of what matters most. "
27 " She’s hot and cold, but damn, when she’s hot, it’s scorching, and when she’s cold, it’s arctic. "
28 " I’m focused on the sky above us. The clouds float there so nicely, form a set of shapes, and then float some more to change to a different one. Wouldn't it be so easy to be like that—change, shift, adjust — without so much as a thought of the next storm about to roll in threatening to decimate you. "
29 " There is something about saying a hard truth aloud that makes it both more real and more cathartic. "
30 " And each alert, each ding, was like adding salt to my open wound because lying to someone else is one thing, but lying to yourself is impossible. "
31 " Run all you want, Haddie,” he murmurs, his deep cadence a strong sound against the white noise around us, “but you’re going to find yourself all tangled up in those dangling ends you refuse to tie to something. . . . Who’s going to rescue you then? "
32 " Hell yes, I want the man, but if he can’t handle me now at my worst, then he sure as fuck doesn’t deserve me at my best. "
33 " Because in the silence, doubts creep in, memories come, and need swelters. "
34 " tell myself to pull on my big-girl thong and own it like a stripper does her pole, "
35 " Wild keeps a man on his toes . . . causes him to always pay attention, not take a single thing for granted. When a man gets complacent, he can lose sight of what matters most. "
36 " Every good man’s place is behind a woman?"“The only reason for a man to be behind a woman is because he’s checking out her very fine ass.”“Haven’t had any complaints so far, Country...And...uh...there are many more places I’d prefer a man to be "
37 " This is the problem with pussy: When you want it you can’t get it, and when you don’t want it, you get it and then you can’t get it out of your fucking head. "
38 " I choke on my drink. Did I really just call Haddie my voodoo? Oh my fucking God. I’m turning into Colton. "
39 " Remember, Had. Time is precious. Waste it wisely. "
40 " We’ve been to hell and back, and I love you more for every single step of that journey. I only hope you feel half of what I feel when you look at me, when you love me, or when you laugh with me. The world stops for me—time stands still—when I put my arms around you. I love that feeling, and I love that I’ve only ever felt that way with you. I want to be the first thing you touch in the morning and the last thing you taste at night before you dream. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, Had. . . . I want to stop wasting that precious time. Will you marry me? "
