1 " You're the one I like. Maybe love. "
― Jenna Evans Welch , Love & Gelato (Love & Gelato, #1)
2 " Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, I really like you. A lot. But if you don't feel the same way about me, it's okay. Because you're really important to me, and I hope we can still be friends. "
3 " Before I could catch it, my heart slammed straight down to my feet, leaving me with a massive hole in my chest. It was amazing how I could just be going along, doing okay, and then suddenly-wham-I missed her so much even my fingernails hurt. "
4 " And why did he have to call me “quiet”? I hated being called quiet. People always said it like it was some kind of deficiency—like just because I didn’t put everything out there right away, I was unfriendly or arrogant. My mom had understood. You may be slow to warm up, but once you do, you light up the whole room "
5 " I thought I wanted caprice and fire, but it turns out that what I really want is someone who will wake me up early so I don't miss a sunrise. "
6 " He turned around and I felt the shards of my broken heart crumble to dust. "
7 " Well, in that case, no. I’m not your father. But if you go with another definition, meaning ‘a man who wants to be in your life and help raise you,’ then yes. I am. "
8 " Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end. "
9 " Woah! Lina, you look . . .” Thomas’s jaw literally dropped. But then he noticed Howard looking at him like he was a deer during hunting season and he quickly cleared his throat. “Sorry. Nice dress. You look really pretty.” “You look nice too.” Gray fitted suit. Hair styled messily. I could practically hear Addie spontaneously combusting from here. "
10 " He took one look at Mimi and wilted. “Whoa. What did I miss?” “Shut up, Thomas.” She turned and flounced away. "
11 " So... Italian gelato. Take the deliciousness of a regular ice-cream cone, times it by a million, then sprinkle it with crushed-up unicorn horns. "
12 " Hey what's the matter? Are you crying?"I shook my head, slowly opening my eyes and smiling at him again. "No, it's nothing."But it wasn't nothing. I didn't want to ruin the moment by explaining to him, but suddenly it was like I had a zoomed-out view of this moment and I never, ever (ever) wanted it to end. I had Nutella on my face and my first real love sprawled out next to me and any minute the stars were going to sink back into the sky in preparation for a new day, and for the first time in a long time, I couldn't wait for what the day would bring. And that was something. "
13 " Tonight I watched the sun set at Ponte Vecchio. I think its safe to say I have finally found the place that feels right to me. I just can't believe I had to come halfway across the world to find it. "
14 " You know, people come to Italy for all sorts of reasons, but when they stay, it's for the same two things.""What?""Love and gelato. "
15 " You're baking?""Yes.""It's almost midnight.""I specialize in late-night kitchen disasters. "
16 " You know, people come to Italy for all sorts of reasons, but when they stay, it's for the same two things.""What?" "Love and gelato. "
17 " I scowled. "Shut up.""We should play Go Fish later.""No.""Mah-jong? Bridge?""What are you, an old lady? "
18 " He made out with my mom in a public park? Totally not the kind of think you should have to know about your parents. "
19 " I looked back toward the door. Creepy staircase or overly friendly international teenagers? I guess I'd take my chances with Ren. "
20 " „O viaţă fară dragoste e ca un an fară vară. "
