1 " Lily Calloway...all this time, your superpower has been loving me. "
― Krista Ritchie , Addicted After All (Addicted, #5)
2 " The parts of me that I love the most are the parts that belong to her. "
3 " I speak for everyone here today,” he tells us, “when I say that you two—Lily and Loren—are the strongest people we’ve all ever had the honor to meet. "
4 " For the first time, I yearn for tomorrow and cherish yesterday and live for today. It’s peace that no one will take from me. "
5 " In his eyes, I’m some kind of perfect. "
6 " I fell in love with Lo like a little girl opening her heart to magic. "
7 " Life doesn’t stop when you take a new road. It always finds a way to go on. "
8 " Ryke would endure hell for eternity if it meant that I could go to heaven. "
9 " Connor wears a billion-dollar grin. “Words are my favorite sex toy, "
10 " Ryke smiles back, like he’s proud of me. “It’s yours, little brother. I believe in you. "
11 " We have consumed each other from day one. And we truly never let go. "
12 " The bad thing about nerd stars: they’re so high up that it’s hard to hear or see unless you exist in space with them. "
13 " I secretly want to raise my hand and say, introvert in the building! "
14 " Back then,” he says, “I was so addicted to you.” He truly smiles, a very, very rare one. “I still am. "
15 " Lily Calloway…all this time, your superpower has been loving me.” Tears cloud my eyes, and they don’t stop, especially as he adds, “And you’ll be happy to know that I’m not mortal.” “You aren’t?” I choke. “No.” He shakes his head, brushing away the wetness beneath my eyes. “Because my superpower is the love that I have for you. It’s out of this world, extraordinary, incomprehensible kind of love. And no one and nothing on this Earth comes close to it. "
16 " There’s something about Lily that makes all the terrible parts of me seem irrelevant. That makes a bad day momentary and a good one infinite. It’s love like this that’s worth living for. "
17 " He stares down into me and says, “I’ll keep her safe.” My eyes well with tears while my lips pull high. “Against the world, Loren Hale?” “Yeah,” he nods. “Against the world, Lily Calloway. I’m familiar with that battle. "
18 " I knew from the beginning that we’d be addicted after all.” His amber eyes bore straight through me. “I just didn’t know whether we’d be at a better place than we were before.” We are. I don’t even have to say the words. He knows the answer too. We’re at the best place we’ve ever been, reaching a stasis together. It’s beautiful up here, and even if I fear falling, it’s nice to know I’ve been down that road before. And I can always walk to the top again. "
19 " It’s love like this that’s worth living for. "
20 " Wampa cap securely on his little head. I pat mine. It’s still there. All is well. "
