1 " I am honestly starting to question evolution. We went from cavemen, to homo sapiens, to this incredible society of great minds—Alexander Graham Bell inventing telephones, Steve Jobs inventing…everything. And now we’re devolving. We’ve travelled back to cavemen, only nowadays we call them fuckboys. "
― Elle Kennedy , The Risk (Briar U, #2)
2 " Because I love you. "
3 " Are you gonna talk to her after the game?” Hollis asks expectantly. “Or do we need to bring out a shotgun and—” “Relax, you don’t have to make me talk to her at gunpoint,” I say with a chuckle. “What?” His expression is puzzled. “I was going to say we’d clock you in the back of the head with the shotgun, knock some sense into you.” I turn to Fitzgerald, who shrugs and says, “His brain operates on a level us mortals can’t comprehend. "
4 " Friends who say “I love you” every time you part ways are important. Those are the ones you need in your life. "
5 " Want to make out some more before we go?” Jake’s tone is boyishly hopeful. “Nope.” His gaze turns devilish. “How about a blowjob?” “Aw, I appreciate the offer, but I don’t have a penis. "
6 " A kiss, at its very core, is an emotional experience. Or at least it is for me. Anyone can give me an orgasm, but not everyone can touch my soul. One kiss can make me fall in love with someone. "
7 " Can’t change the past, don’t cry over the present, don’t stress about the future. It’s all pointless, especially regret. "
8 " Safe drive back to Boston, Connelly. I've been told before that the roads get really wet when it's raining. "
9 " Hockey is a game. You’re my life. "
10 " She loops her arms around my neck, wraps her legs around my hips, and clings to me like a monkey, and some happy part of my brain does flips and jumping jacks and fucking triple axels because this is my wife. "
11 " Losing is not supposed to crush your confidence. It’s meant to build it. "
12 " And don’t forget… If you mess with me, I mess right back. "
13 " Anyone can give me an orgasm, but not everyone can touch my soul. One kiss can make me fall in love with someone. I know it, because it happened once before. And that's why kissing scares me sometimes. "
14 " So please just tell me how (to make you love me again) ... to fix this "
15 " And then I head toward our little hut without setting her down on her feet. She’s still wrapped around me like ivy, happy and cozy and warm in my arms. Just where she belongs. "
16 " We root for each other. We’re good for each other. And I can’t wait to find out what the future holds for us. "
17 " And that was like twenty years ago and you still hate him.” “So?” He pops up a cucumber slice into his mouth. “So don’t you think maybe it’s time to bury the hatchet?” “Can I bury it in his skull? "
18 " I’m going to lend you my good-luck charm,” I announce, holding up the tacky pink-and-purple bracelet. She gasps. “Seriously?” “Yup. "
19 " Since I met you, you’re all I think about. I’m fucking smitten. "
20 " You are such a dumbass, Connelly. You made the biggest mistake of your dumbass life when you broke up with Brenna.” “I know.” “First of all, she’s gorgeous. It’s almost disgusting how gorgeous she is. She’s smart and witty and hilarious and—wait, what do you mean, ‘you know’? "
