1 " I'll try to leave my club in the cave. "
― L.A. Fiore , Beautifully Forgotten (Beautifully Damaged, #2)
2 " Even from her distance, Darcy heard Trace yelling at Ember loud enough to shake the building.Kyle leaned up against the wall with a slight grin on his face. "Understand now?""Yeah, she's going to go deaf.""Probably, but she totally had it coming.""It must be nice to have someone love you so much to shout at you until you're disabled," Darcy said almost dreamily. "
3 " We have no idea who the fuck we are dealing with, but based on what they've done to us so far, I'm betting there is very little this person wouldn't do to get whatever the hell it is they are after. If you think for a second that I am going to sit back and watch as you step into potential danger, you are out of your fucking mind."Her anger rose to match his. "And if you think that I'm going to take a step back just because you and I are sleeping together and your inner caveman is coming to the fore, you are out of your fucking mind."His voice turned icy. "If I were being a caveman, I would have already knocked you over the head with my club and put you over my shoulder. Not that the idea doesn't have some merit. "
4 " The day we were going to meet, I was going to give this to you. I wanted to give you something that conveyed how I felt about you and this was the only thing I had of value."Tears filled Darcy's eyes, but they never left Lucien's gaze. "You were going to give me her necklace?""It was all I had to give."She was about to throw herself into his arms. Oh my God. What a gesture. .But he stopped her. "I'm not done.""Sorry," Darcy said, but she couldn't manage disgruntled. She was just too damn happy."I was going to give this to you as a promise, a promise to never hurt you, to never leave you, to always find my way back to you even when we were pissed off and wanted to kill each other. A promise to love only you as long as I drew breath."His hand closed over the necklace. "But you didn't show up.""What?" And then she punched him because he had made her cry again with the most perfect words ever.He laughed before he unhooked the clasp and secured it around her neck. "I was a kid then." He climbed from bed and returned with a small box in his hand.He handed it to her. Her hands shook when she lifted the lid to see the sapphire, the color almost the exact shade of her eyes, surrounded by diamonds."But the man I've become still loves you as desperately as the kid I was. Marry me, Darcy. "
5 " You, Ember. It’s you I don’t want put in danger. I can’t live without you. You burrowed yourself so deeply into my soul that I can’t exist without you. Don’t you get that? It’s fucking you I need. "
6 " It’s crap when people say you shouldn’t try to change someone. The whole nature of a relationship is compromise, and compromise is change. It can be scary as hell changing what you know to fit with someone else, so I think you’re entitled to drag your feet a bit. "
7 " Maybe we should find "
8 " It burned all the way down her throat. She was pretty sure it was even now disintegrating her stomach lining and yet it didn’t stop her from ordering another one. After two, she felt a lightness she hadn’t felt in a long time. After three, she was smiling for no particular reason, and after four, she was downright happy. "
