1 " Your heart is yours to give, it is no ones to take. Not a queen. Not a prince. No one. "
― Stormy Smith , Bound by Duty (Bound, #1)
2 " Now I was falling faster than a comet plummeting to the earth, just waiting to create a giant explosion. Just like a comet, I had no idea exactly how much damage I would leave in my wake. "
3 " Pick me Amelia. Please, pick me. Be the one who finally picks me. "
4 " I had to be the only person on the planet capable of pissing off every guy in my life on the same day while managing to get them to all lie to each other - while lying to them my self. "
5 " I didn’t want to want him, but it was like choosing not to breathe. It just wasn’t possible. My soul kept fighting for him like my lungs would for air. "
6 " I’m going to kiss you again, Amelia. Soon. Very soon. "
7 " I just can’t help myself when I’m around you. It’s like I can’t stop; you’re a magnet and I just want to be near you. To touch you. And, after the other night,” he pulled back to show me that mischievous grin I loved, “kiss you. Again and again. "
8 " Then, Aidan leaned down and whispered, “I guess we’re all a little broken, aren’t we, doll? "
9 " Yes, I’ve heard you each and every time you’ve asked. But, I’m not ready to have that conversation and I have bigger stuff going on right now than having a bonding session with you over things we shouldn’t be talking about in public anyway. "
10 " Couldn’t everyone do this stuff? "
11 " Amelia, I’ve already said more than I should have. I have to go. But think about what I said. Choose your path. "
12 " Amelia, this changes things, right? You don’t have to run from me. I can help. Whatever is happening, I can help. "
13 " Once I had gotten my bearings and turned back to the room in front of me, I found myself staring directly into the eyes of Queen Julia. Well, her and about twenty Hunters who seemed only too happy to display their bouncing balls of crackling orange magic and wicked stares. "
14 " Excuse me. This is a private club and we don’t just allow anyone in here. "
15 " Cursing myself, I realized that I was stupid. This was stupid. "
16 " Then, I was floating ten feet up in the air and couldn’t breathe. I was gasping for air and clawing at my throat, trying to pull in oxygen from somewhere. There was nothing. "
17 " You are going to break Bethany’s heart and I will never trust you again. "
18 " Why did you find me? Why did you date my best friend? Why did you pretend to be my friend? "
19 " When I came out, the dress was waiting. I didn’t know what I was expecting, but a full-length, white, gauzy dress fit for a Roman goddess, wasn’t it. The dress was one-shouldered and had a thick, ropey silver belt around the waist. It was beautiful and set off my dark hair. "
20 " I was being a moron again. Of course, he was just saying what needed to be said. "
