1 " I’m glad I married you too, Harper,” I whispered into her hair, “because I’m in love with you.” But she didn’t hear, gone into a dream. "
― Fisher Amelie , Callum & Harper (Sleepless, #1)
2 " I have nothing to give anyone, really. It’s the one gift I can give that has any kind of value. It makes me feel worthy. "
3 " One day, you and I are gonna wake up and be alright. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but one day. One day. I promise you. "
4 " He bent his head to mine and kissed the sense out of me. If you’d asked me my name, I’d have told you wrong. He had that kind of ability and he was mine, maybe it was because he was mine and because I loved him the way I did that his spell could cast itself over me with such ferocity. "
5 " He had brown hair, piercing green eyes and jaw line that screamed 'I might just let you kiss me here'. "
6 " And then you met me," I said."And then I met you," she said, smiling softly."And all was right with the world," I joked."Exactly," she said seriously. "
7 " I wanted to know what it was like to lie next to a warm body, to feel close to someone sincere because sincerity is one of those rare human qualities that feels a bit like discovering a lost treasure. It is a rare commodity but once found, is absolutely priceless. "
8 " We may not have known each other our whole lives but we've definitely lived them in parallel "
9 " Sexy. As. Hell. Though, now that I think about it. Is hell sexy? "
10 " My happiness was tied to him in strands of transparent steel cables, nothing could break those ties except for Callum himself and I trusted him so implicitly. "
11 " She threaded her fingers through my hair and I nearly whimpered at the feel of them, my eyes rolling to the back of my closed eyes. I clutched her waist tightly, inhaling her breaths as I practically swallowed her beautiful tongue. "
12 " Everyone’s perception is different; we all see different things. I personally think you see what you want to see. "
13 " It was the fact that she was in every piece, in every corner, on every shelf. She was everywhere, reminding me how much in love with her I was. "
14 " Sincerity is one of those rare human qualities that feels a bit like discovering a lost treasure. It is a rare commodity but once found, it absolutely priceless. That was Callum, pretty much in a nutshell. "
15 " I remembered looking down into her face, her eyes bright with new adventure and a little piece of my heart fell into her hands. My heart tumbled in pieces at her feet as she chipped away at it with her wondrous ways, and it didn’t form a whole again until half a year had passed and the end product was a living, beating organ in the palm of her hands. "
16 " I wanted to make love to her, intertwine my fingers and my body with hers, drink her in and inhale every inch of her, memorize her skin. "
17 " What kind of trouble could you possible make, Harper Bailey? He asked with a raised brow.The kind that changes your opinion of someone, therefore you'll never find out. "
18 " If I was being candid with her, she’d only find out that I felt something for her that could only be the equivalent of a gravitational pull towards the center of the earth. She was a magnet for me and I was powerless to resist. It was more than a mere attraction. "
19 " It's funny how this total stranger could relate to me better than anyone else I'd ever met. It was as if I'd known her my entire life. "
20 " This was it. The beginning of the blasted end. "
