After Ben (Seattle Stories, #1) QUOTES

1 " THEO: You should walk a fucking mile before you judge a situation. You should put yourself in someone else's shoes before you blame, or judge, or pity. It takes a long time to wear down someone's confidence, and it takes much more strength of will to walk away than it does to take another punch. "

2 " It was simply that Morgan was right for Theo in ways he couldn’t begin to explain. From little things such as Morgan already knowing so much about Theo—like the fact that he had no siblings—and accepting the way that Ben was still a very important part of his life, all the way through to arguing about absolutely fucking everything, Morgan was just right for him. It wouldn’t have mattered if he’d been twenty-one or sixty-one instead of twenty-eight. He was perfect for Theo. "

THEO: Oh.
MORGAN:Just talk dirty for a while.
THEO: Blue-sky thinking. Thought shower. Full spectrum leadership.
MORGAN: NOT corporate dirty. Sex dirty.
THEO: I wouldn't know where to start. "

7 " THEO: There are times that I hate you — you and your pesky logic. MORGAN: There are times I picture you naked. We all have our crosses to bear. "

8 " Ah, we all die in the end.” Ben had paused before continuing, eyebrows raised as he questioned his word choices. “But sometimes the cast is compelling enough to make living through loss again worth it. "

9 " So you ended up with that… thing… because it was what he wanted? He insisted?” Morgan pulled him close, dark eyes searching his face intently.
“No, I bought it for Ben as a reminder that even when we were ugly to each other, we were still okay. "

10 " THEO: Who do you picture when you think of me?
