41 " I take comfort in the stone inside of me. If I don't feel, I don't hurt. "
― Katie McGarry , Dare You To (Pushing the Limits, #2)
42 " The darkness isn't so frightening with Ryan. With him I can believe that I am a princess with a wreath of flowers and ribbons crowning my head and he is my prince sworn to protect me from the evils in the night. "
43 " With one touch, Isaiah could ground me. Keep me from floating away with his arms as my anchor. His steady beating heart the reminder he would never let go. "
44 " Hand off my ass or I'll rip off your balls. "
45 " I don't touch people and they don't touch me. "
46 " Allison's eyes dart between me and the knives. Yeah, lady, a couple of hours in jail and I've moved from destruction of property to sociopath. "
47 " The way he stares at me—it’s as if he doesn’t even see the outside anymore. His eyes pierce me as if he can see my soul and the thought terrifies me. "
48 " I've learned a lot playing college ball," Mark says."What you do in high school doesn't mean shit. You can be the best ballplayer in your high school. The best in the country or state, but when you get to college, you're going to meet fifty other guys who can brag the same thing. You'll meet guys better than you, stronger than you, faster than you, and then you're up against better teams. The world changes when you leave Groveton. "
49 " ...time to tell the prince he rescued the wrong girl. "
50 " It must be a male thing to talk about playing with balls. "
51 " The question isn't what I would have done. The question is what do you want to do? "
52 " Outside the guys' athletic dorms, I attempt to stand in front of Beth as she searches for my brother's room number. Beth wears a cotton T-shirt that hugs her slim form and ends a half inch short of her low-rise jeans. With her smooth skin tempting me in very right, yet wrong, places, I would bet my Jeep that the outfit doesn't have Scott's seal of approval. Don't get me wrong, I love it, and so does every guy walking in and out of the dorms. She's my girl and I prefer to be the only one looking at her. "
53 " Will you shut up?! God, I can't get you guys to say crap half the time I try to actually say something worth saying, one of you interrupts me. So shut up! "
54 " I'm going to say this slowly and use little words in the hope you can follow along. If you call me Elisabeth again, I'll make sure you can never father children. Tell anyone else whose niece I am and you'll be sucking air out of a tube in your throat." Chris laughs and it's the deep, throaty kind that tells me the shit we're entering is bad. "
55 " With a room like this, I bet he buys brand-name cereal "
56 " I could have done so many things and I didn’t. Why am I such a screwup? "
57 " The offers of friendship, the smiles, the nice words – all games. Deep down I always knew it, but part of me hoped for more. I allowed hope. Stupid Beth making another stupid mistake. Story of my life. "
58 " I hear laughter and suck in a breath when I realize it’s mine … and his. Together. It sounds nice. Kind of like music. "
59 " There’s more to her, I know there is. I saw it in her eyes when she laughed with me in the Jeep. Felt it in her touch as we danced. "
60 " The moment my lips found her body, we quickly became an erupting volcano. Hot and fast. Very fast. Fast enough that I would have given her my virginity. "
