61 " No falling in love.” I scoffed. “Red, you’ll fall in love with me before I ever fall in love with you.” The mere idea was absurd. Jules was the most difficult woman I’d ever encountered. God help whichever poor bastard ended up falling for her. "
― Ana Huang ,
62 " We’re not dating other people, Red. I don’t give a fuck what the original terms of our arrangement were. Do you want to know why? "
63 " I don’t know what you did to me, Red. But somehow, I went from wanting to kill you…to willing to kill for you. "
64 " Some kisses you felt in your bones. This one I felt in my soul. "
65 " Man, fuck having a best friend. They were overrated know-it-alls. "
66 " Sometimes, people change. And sometimes, they meet people who make them want to change.”“And sometimes, people sound like a human fortune cookie. "
67 " Scavenger hunt and puzzle.” Josh’s cheek dimpled. “Have to make sure your brainpower meets my standards, Red. I don’t date dummies.” “Understandable. Someone has to be the brains in the relationship. "
68 " I thought I knew what I wanted before. Becoming a doctor, chasing the next high. Being the most popular, most liked person in the room. I thought those things would make me happy, and they did. Temporarily. But you…” He rested his forehead against mine. “You’re the only thing that could make me happy forever. "
69 " Let’s make another bet, Red. I bet if I bent you over and yanked up that little skirt of yours, I’d find you soaking for me. And I bet I could have you begging for my cock, for me to make you come so hard you’ll see fucking stars before the night is over. "
70 " I’d forgotten how much I loved that sound—the sound of her just existing, reminding me that no matter how fucked up the world got, there was at least one good thing in it. "
71 " I knew what I had to do. I had to tell Josh the truth. "
72 " You’re my personal hell, Red.” He gave my hair another sharp tug. “And God help me, I don’t want to fucking leave. "
73 " Moving on from the past didn’t mean burying it beneath a new foundation and hoping no one found it; it meant exposing the ugliness to the light and taking responsibility.You couldn’t heal from something if you didn’t acknowledge it. "
74 " I did not like Jules. Half our fucks were hate fucks. They were hot, but just because I liked fucking her didn’t mean I wanted anything else from her. "
75 " I hated losing. But I couldn’t even be mad because what she just did? Fucking genius. I rubbed a hand over my mouth, unable to hold back a laugh of grudging admiration. Jules Ambrose was something else. "
76 " I don’t aspire to be the type of person who apologizes so much that they're good at it. "
77 " men possessed nothing if not audacity. "
78 " Christ. It should be illegal for someone to feel that damn good. "
79 " I didn’t know what I wanted from her, but I knew I wanted her. I knew she haunted my thoughts and invaded my dreams until she was the only thing I could see. And I knew that being with her was one of the few times I truly felt alive. "
80 " I firmly believed people didn’t need a significant other to be happy. If someone wanted to be in a relationship, great. If they didn’t, also great. The same went for children, marriage, etc. There were no universal barometers for happiness. A person’s life could be just as fulfilling without a romantic partner as it was with one. "
