81 " And with every daring event, I’ve been there, by her side, carrying her almost every time she’s fallen. "
― Krista Ritchie , Hothouse Flower (Calloway Sisters, #2)
82 " We’re both the type of people to never slow down, to run around the bases at high speed. I want that with him. To freakin’ make a home run like we’re track stars on a baseball field. "
83 " I think it takes a really strong person to be that way, to not care what people think, even when you’re better than they say. "
84 " I have carried this girl so many times in my life. But this time—this is the absolute worst. "
85 " I can be unthinking and selfish when I try to live fully. But I've always loved that Ryke never stops me.Whatever wild thing I do, Ryke Meadows does too.Down a ski slope.In an ocean, caged with sharks.Off a cliff.Off a cliff. I was fifteen. I dove into the water. He jumped in after me. I couldn’t imagine any other guy willing to do that for someone they hardly knew. "
86 " He’s unshaven, so he looks a little older than twenty-five, his actual age. And his brows do this thing where they furrow hard, like he’s in a bad mood. But really, he’s just brooding. It’s his normal expression, one that’s insanely attractive in this possessive—I will protect you even if it fucking kills me—quality that I didn’t think I would like until I met him. And it drew me in like this magnetic pull or a moth to a flame. All those cheesy things people say about attraction. "
87 " I am more me now than I was before. "
88 " Friends aren’t forever. They’re not even for a while. They come into your life and they leave when something or someone changes. Nothing grounds them to you. Not blood or loyalty. They’re just…fleeting. "
89 " Severing a relationship with someone who undeniably cares for you—it untethers something in your soul. "
90 " I burn when I watch her, when I hear her, my senses blistering into ash. "
91 " I ride through the night. Daisy sleeps in my arms for some of it, straddled backwards and facing me. "
92 " I turn my head, and my heart pitches to my throat. She’s running towards us, but Connor is faster and stronger. He picks her up while she thrashes in his arms.My eyes soften in thanks. "
93 " I just wish you could love me more than you hate him. "
94 " He’s the worst devil on my fucking shoulder. And I love him. "
95 " SHe's crying in Lily's shoulder while she hugs her close. My heart tears open again, and I have to restrain myself from walking over there and consoling her. "
96 " The past and the present were spread bare in the dirt.Now maybe we can move forward. "
97 " Connor edges closer to her, and she surprisingly doesn't pull away. He cups her face, his thumb stroking her cheek as he says, 'Vous n’avez rien à craindre.' You have nothing to fear. "
98 " I was waiting for the sun to chase me "
99 " I kissed you tonight because I want your lips to only touch mine. From now until forever. That’s the fucking truth. "

100 " Wake me up when you stop flirting with a guy seven years older than you. It’s disgusting. "
