141 " I love watching the sun rise more than watching it set. "
― Becca Ritchie , Hothouse Flower (Calloway Sisters, #2)
142 " Rose claps, excited to have a willing participant. "
143 " I believe in you,' Connor refutes. 'Not your superstition. "
144 " Watching Daisy come is like watching a person discover a new world, seeing fireworks for the first time, lit up and awed. "
145 " None of us are really normal. We're all just strange pieces in the world. And the half that usually connects with me is thousands of miles away, in Paris. "
146 " I shouldn't care how Daisy feels - we're not together - but it's been tearing up my fucking lungs. "
147 " I don’t know what I want to do, but I do know that I have years to figure it out. And that freedom builds my confidence and gives me the wings that I use to fly right on out of this nest. "
148 " Loose gravel embeds in my cheek, and I look out and see Daisy on her knees, Connor crouched behind her, whispering in her ear. She’s crying like this is the end of us. Her grief is like a thousand knives inside my stomach. "
149 " I just want you in my life. I want my son. If that means having to listen to your insults every goddamn dinner we have, fine. But I’d rather have that than nothing at all. "
150 " They hug at the same time. Both magnetically drawn to each other, arms wrapped in such soul-deep comfort that I can’t fucking watch. "
151 " My sister’s strength floods into me, and it propels me to continue, like a gust of wind blowing me in the right direction. "
152 " he hardest things are usually the right things "
153 " Ryke Meadows has invigorated my body and soul.He is more than just my pillow.My wolf.My bodyguard.He’s my everything. "
154 " I never knew that a relationship could be so mental, so emotional before all the physical. "
155 " Promise me that whatever it is, you'll be fucking safe. And be careful on your way out to us. My brother can’t live without you. I'm expendable, you aren't. "
156 " I want you to cut it.' She inhales strongly, as though preparing herself for the moment. 'How many times have you envisioned cutting your hair?' I ask her seriously. 'A million.' And she’s asking me to do it. "
157 " But if I'm you,' he says with the tilt of his head, 'I’ve also been there for that girl. When she had an ape of a boyfriend, when she was alone and all backs were turned, when she was going through heavier things than all of us realized.' His calm tone soothes any anger that threatens to rise. Just like that. 'If I were you, Ryke, I’d stop letting people see the worst parts of me, and I’d finally show them the good. "
158 " her face has never been brighter, even with a scar "
159 " Rose's gaze peels off Loren and fixes on me, as though just now noticing my presence. I think she’s about to cry.I've never seen Rose cry before. "
160 " Rose holds onto Lily like she’s her personal heating blanket, almost dunking her under the water a couple times. But Lily keeps her chin above the surface and elbows her. Rose concentrates on me, or at least tries to. "
