21 " I’m sorry, Olivia, for hurting you,” he said hoarsely and my heart heaved in mychest. Why was his voice so gentle? Why wasn’t he screaming at me? I was the onewho did the hurting. It was me. My fault. My sin. My mess. “You will never see me again after today.” He paused and his next words struck me so deeply I would never recover from them. “I will love again, Olivia, you will hurt forever. What you’ve done is…You are worthless because you make yourself that way. You will remember me every day for the rest of your life because I was the one and you threw me away.” And then he left. "

22 " I take my first step and then my second, and right before the door closes, I look once more over my shoulder. Caleb is still under the tree, he winks at me, and I smile. "
23 " Life balances itself on a precarious ledge, we can stay safe up high or propel off the edge. "
24 " Oh what do you know about love ? You've never cheated to have it. "
25 " Handsome, fictional men were so much easier to stomach than real life ones who smelled of Christmas and looked like a Calvin Klein model "
26 " You'll be surprised what someone is able to handle given no other choice. "
27 " Can I be your favorite girl?” “You already are, Duchess. "
28 " You changed everything. I was so frightened of losing you that I did everything in my power to drive you away. I thought that if I didn't, eventually you would see that you were wasting your time with me and leave anyway. "
29 " She is playing games with someone who knows how to play them better. "
30 " Whether I'm standing behind you or facing you, the view's pretty nice. "
31 " Look, when you get your memory back and can divulge all your secrets from the past, we'll have a sleepover and I'll tell you everything; but, as far as I'm concerned, until that day arrives, we both have amnesia. "
32 " Caleb had been my imperfection, with his slightly Americanized British accent, and the way he could play any sport and quote any philosopher. He was such a mix of class and jock, romance and jerk, it made me crazy. "
33 " The kiss. The kiss. The kiss. It was chocolate cake and fizzy passion and goose bumps. No one had ever kissed me like that. "
34 " I hated it when literally was used for non-literal things. I popped the tab on my soda can and returned her grin. Over my dead body... literally. "
35 " My heart clenches. I still love this boy. The realization scares me. I thought I was over it. I thought I could handle something like this; an impromptu run in. "
36 " Damn him. I could love. I had it all inside of me. If he knew so much about me, why couldn't he see that? If I didn't love him, how could it hurt so badly? "
37 " You will forever be loved first, nothing will change that.” “But what does it matter if I can’t be with you?” I wail. “I can’t live without you.” “But you have,” he smiles, though it is a sad smile. “You have and you will. "
38 " Redhead marrying, amnesia getting, bastard! "
39 " You belong with me. Do you believe me? "
40 " A man is only as good as what he loves most, right? "
