1 " That obnoxious fucker. As if he got a pass on his obnoxious fuckery because he capped it off with Miss Treloff. "
― Kate Canterbary , Professional Development (Benchmarks, #1)
2 " I’d wanted to unload the fires of hell upon this douche canoe every day for the past two years. "
3 " I hated Tara Treloff and I prayed for the day when I wouldn’t have to see her huge brown eyes glaring at me, sizing me up, seeing through me anymore.I prayed for that day almost as much as I dreaded it. "
4 " The entire situation was bad enough but after we’d stopped at a sandwich shop for a quick meal, he’d rolled his shirtsleeves up to his elbows and drove the remainder of the distance with bare forearms.The audacity of that fucker. Really. "
5 " We hated each other, that was fact. But there were instances like these where I wondered if I understood the full spectrum of hate.… Maybe hate wasn’t hate at all. "
6 " Unfortunately for me, I didn't live in a simple world.I lived in a world where I wanted my colleague so much, I plowed all the way through lust and came out the other side in the deep end of resentment. "
7 " I couldn’t stand this, not any longer. I couldn’t protect myself by simply hating her because it wasn’t enough. If anything, I’d travelled the circumference of hate and built an uncomfortable home for myself on the antagonistic asshole edge of love. "
8 " Is it possible to worship someone and wreck them at the same time? Do you feel that? "
9 " I don't want to think about the terrible things I've said to you and the inexcusable way I've behaved. I know what I've done. I want to pretend I'm allowed to love you and maybe, in some wild version of my life, you love me too. "
