81 " I tried to break her before. Now, I just wanted her as she was. I wanted every last beautiful flaw. I wanted the witty one-liners and the coldness that only I knew how to warm. I wanted the fight and the friction and the make-up sex. I wanted her to wake up in my bed every morning. I wanted her shitty cooking and her beautiful, complex mind. "
― Tarryn Fisher , Thief (Love Me with Lies, #3)
82 " I finally felt ready to put my brokenlove to rest. But, you couldn’t put something to rest when it kept coming back to haunt you. "
83 " Hard and fast, Drake and make it last longer than last time. "
84 " That we’re dysfunctional and toxic!”“We were dysfunctional and toxic,” I correct her. "
85 " She says things that genuinely move me. She lets her soul slip through her lips, and it’s always raw and incredibly sad. "
86 " Steve shook his head. “Some people take more work than others. You fell in love with a really complicated woman. You can weigh how hard things can and will be for the two of you, but what you really need to consider is if you can live without her.” I was out the door a second later. No. No, I couldn’t live without her. "
87 " Peter Pan,” I whisper into her ear.“I’m afraid.”“Afraid of what?” I kiss the opposite corner. She’s not as stiff as she was a minute ago. I kiss her mouth full on and close my eyes at the feel ofher lips. God, I am so whipped by this woman.“Of how vulnerable you make me. "
88 " I’ve come to the conclusion that there are no set rules in life. You do what you have to do to survive. If that means running away from the love of your life to preserve your sanity, you do it. If it means breaking someone’s heart so yours doesn’t break; do it. Life is complicated — too much so forthere to be absolutes. We are all so broken. Pick up a person, shake them around and you’ll hear the rattling of their broken pieces. Pieces our fathers broke, or our mothers, or our friends, strangers, or our loves. "
89 " Peter Pan. "
90 " You don’t give an inch. That’s why I like you, Olivia — no middle name — Kaspen. You make me work for every smile, every giggle… "
91 " Sometimes you fucked up enough in life, that you had to bow to your mistakes. They won. Be humble... move on. "
92 " That was the exact moment my heart threaded with hers. It was as if someone reached down with a sewing needle and stitched my soul to hers. "
93 " Addiction,” I say simply. “It can span an entire lifetime if untreated.”“What’s the treatment?”“I don’t really care.”“Me neither,” she says. "
94 " Why do you always try to downplay my feelings for you?”“I don’t trust them,” she says after a minute. “You claim that you love me, but you’ve loved other women in between. "
95 " No podías resumirnos a Olivia y a mí en nostalgia. El día que la conocí bajo ese árbol, es como si respirara parte de ella en mis pulmones. Seguimos volviendo el uno al otro. La distancia entre nuestros cuerpos creció con los años al tratar de vivir separados. Pero esa parte de ella agarró raíces y creció. Y más allá de la distancia o circunstancias, Olivia es algo que crece dentro de mí. "
96 " I knew she loved me, but I wanted to hear it. The more she rejectedme, the more aggressively I fought to tear down her walls. I pushed too far sometimes … like the camping trip. I tried to prove to her that she wasn’t as autonomous as she thought. I wanted to show her that it was okay to be vulnerable and to want me. "
97 " She told me once that every time she saw my name on her caller I.D. she got butterflies. I got this swelling ache in my chest. It was a good ache - like a heart orgasm. "
98 " Ella tiene la clase de amor que puede manchar tu alma, hacerte rogar no tener uno, sólo para escapar del hechizo bajo el que te ha puesto. He tratado de liberarme de ella una y otra vez, pero es inútil. Tengo más de ella en mis venas que sangre. "
99 " Leah wouldn’t tolerate facial hair. She said it chaffed her face. When she used the word “chaffed” I wanted to divorce her. Or maybe I just always wanted to divorce her. "
100 " It’s better that you leave her alone,” she said. “There isn’t just water under your bridge, there’s maggots and shit and dead bodies. Now, get the fuck out of my house before I call the police. "
