21 " He’s my bodyguard – that’s not changing.It’s not.But I can’t even think about anyone else. He hasn’t just pitched a tent in my brain and dick. He’s built a fucking stone castle. "

22 " Don’t you see, Maximoff? There’s a cement wall in front of you, and you’ve just been told to be satisfied with staring at it … And so you just stand there, not able to see the other side.” ... “It’s my job to help you over the wall ... I’m going to give you what you’ve never been given. "
23 " Thanks for the blue balls.”He fits his earpiece in. “You’ll thank me more when I take all of you in my mouth.”My muscles clench, blood heating at the visual. I look back at Farrow.His lips rise. “You’re easily hot and bothered.”“And you’re not?” I combat.“I conceal mine better. Comes with the territory.” He motions to his radio. “Don’t look so sad, wolf scout. You can’t be the best at everything. "
24 " Charlie waves me on, then leans an elbow on his chair. Propping his head up with a finger by his temple. He's pissed at me. But this is Tuesday and the sky is blue. So everything is as it should be. "
25 " I have comic-book loving, pop-culture-obsessed parents. The coolest. I’m sure the two Meadows girls and the seven Cobalt children would protest and say their parents are cool, but there’s no comparison.Hands down, mine are the goddamn best. "
26 " I know there may be a point where a crisis in my family may conflict with whatever’s happening in your life – and you’re not going to like who I choose.”“You’re going to choose your family because that’s who you are,” Farrow says strongly. “And I will love you for it. "
27 " Thoreau said, ‘Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life. So aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something. "
28 " Bonsoir, ma moitié. Good evening, my other half. "
29 " He leans forward, his lips an inch from mine. And very deeply, very huskily, he whispers, “What do you want, Maximoff? "
30 " You need to do that I only do exclusive. No fucking around. You want me, you only get me, and vice versa.”Exclusive.A relationship.A secret relationship. "
31 " You just need to know that I’m going to get banged up and you can’t run and save me, wolf scout. You have to let it happen.”Maximoff daggers a glare to the ceiling, then the mirror. It finally sinks in for him too. That I’m allowed to protect him, but he can’t protect me. Not in the same exact way. "
32 " Why can’t my successes be associated with the Hale family? Is it so fucking hard for the media to believe that addicts can raise a good man? A good son? "
33 " So this is what it’s like, huh? I can kiss someone the next morning. I can expect to see them in anhour.I can do it all again and again.Something lightens in my chest.Feels like freedom. "
34 " When you’re different from the pack, it takes more guts to be yourself. "
35 " You have friends?” he shoots back, sarcastic. “Moffy!” Her mouth drops. “You’re a Hufflepuff. Be nice. "
36 " Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life. So aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something. "
37 " Go back,” she emphasized. “I didn’t mean to interrupt you. I just had a sudden…” With two hands, she motioned to her body and outward. Jane was rarely lost for words. My brows knotted and I shook my head repeatedly. “You had a creature come loose through your small intestines?” Alright, I wasn’t used to Janie miming. Her tiny smile pulled at her avocado mask. “And you still question why you’re never picked first for charades.” Alright, that too. "
38 " I have no fucks to give because you’ve taken all of them. "
39 " I like that my dad does that. Asks me before going down a cavernous oath assuming shit. He gives me the chance to explain my side. "
40 " Didn't I tell you? he whispers, his gaze nearly glassing. "It's the little things. "
