61 " It took me a long time to figure out that’s what you were saying. And it seemed that every time one of us came back for the other, we weren’t ready. But, ten years later, here I am. Fighting. I’d like to think I’ve learned from my mistakes.I’d also like to think we’ve finally made it to the point where we are ready for each other. "
― Tarryn Fisher , Thief (Love Me with Lies, #3)
62 " She might not be mine, but I’m hers. "
63 " When I’m with you, every emotion I can possibly feel comes spilling out. I drown in them. I want to run to you, and I want to run away. "
64 " That was the moment my heart threaded with hers. It was as if someone reached down with a sewing needle and stitched my soul to hers "
65 " Then Olivia came back. She came back, dancing like a siren. I knew exactly what she was doing the night she came to my frat house and cocked her finger at me from the dance floor. If she hadn’t come to me, I would have gone to her. Forget all you know — I said to myself. This is the one you belong with. I don’t know how I knew that. Maybe our souls touched underneath that tree. Maybe I decided to love her. Maybe love wasn’t our choice. But when I looked at that woman, I saw myself differently. And it wasn’t in a good light. Not a thing would keep me from her. And that could make a person do things they never thought themselves capable of. What I felt for her scared the hell out of me. It was a consuming obsession.In truth, I’d barely touched on the obsession. That was still coming. "
66 " Life does not accommodate you, it shatters you. Love is mean, but it’s good. It keeps us alive. If you need her, then wait. But, right now she’s getting married. It’s her day and you can’t ruin it. "
67 " Why are you forever comparing me to animals, shoes and food?”“Because, I see the world in different shades of Olivia. I’m comparing them to you – not the other way around. "
68 " I love youDeleteIf you leave him, I’ll leave herDeleteCan we talk?DeletePeter PanDelete "
69 " Olivia was so beautifully broken. The hairline cracks in her personality were more pieces of art than flaws. I loved flawed art. "
70 " I’ve been with many women, and she is the only one who makes me want to be a better person … and a better person for her. I don’t even need to be good, I just need to be good for her. "
71 " Painful truth is ineffable. It swings you around a couple of times until your dizzy, and then punches you hard in the stomach. You don't want to believe it, but it wouldn't hurt so badly if on some level you didn't know it was true. "
72 " Olivia?”“Yeah?”“If I make this shot, will you go out with me?”“Yeah. Yeah, I will. "
73 " This is a fast love culture, where peoplefall in and out of something so sacred you wonder if it has the same meaning it did a hundred years ago. "
74 " Well, look at us … All together again, like eight fucking years of lies and bullshit never happened. "
75 " You broke your own moral code. I figured if someone like you would fight for me, I might actually be worth something. "
76 " She lies about how she’s feeling, how she’s hurting, how she wants you when she tells you she doesn’t. She lies to protect you and herself. "
77 " WTF!” she says, throwing her hands in the air. “I didn’t know this was a fucked-up relationship reunion.”Olivia covers her eyes. “Don’t judge me.”Cammie smacks me on the butt and hugs Olivia. “I told you I’d come right away, you didn’t have to call him.”“I called him first,” she says. “He makes me feel safer than you do.” “It’s his massive penis, isn’t it? He could just smack Dobson with it and he’d- "
78 " I made the decorator use a lot of red, because the color reminds me of Olivia. Leah has red hair, but Olivia has a red personality. And as far as I'm concerned, red belongs to the love of my life. "
79 " I knew I was lying to myself by thinking I could fix her. But, it was too late. I didn’t know how to let go. "
80 " Forget all you know - I said to myself. This is the one you belong with. I don't know how I knew that. Maybe our souls touched underneath that tree. Maybe I decided to love her.
