1 " I can remember thinking I’d been turned inside out. Kind of like the first time I saw you. "
― Lauren James , The Last Beginning (The Next Together, #2)
2 " All I'm doing is carrying you around, and making a fool of myself. I’m useless. I’m not helping anyone.’’ ‘’Clove Sutcliffe, you are doing things no human has ever done before. You are groundbreaking. You are unique. Do not cease to function due to inappropriate emotional weakness. "
3 " I really am sorry."Clove could feel Ella’s heartbeat thumping against the skin. It sent shivers through her. Her breath came out too sharp. She wanted to cradle Ella’s cheek, to push her fingers into her hair. “I didn’t want to have to regret becoming emotionally invested in you,” she said in a whisper. "
4 " Kate cleared her throat. She looked between the two of them. “Uh, how did you twomeet?”“Ella stalked me,” Clove replied at the same time as Ella said, “I saved her life. "
5 " I’m getting this all wrong. Clove, I’m sorry,” her dad – Tom - said. “Let me explain properly.“ He faltered. Jen patted his hand again. “Maybe it’s best if I just come right out with it. What do you know about Matthew Galloway and Katherine Finchley? "
6 " Phosphenes, they were called - the sparks of colour that lit up your vision, the stars that appeared in the darkness. "
7 " She wasn’t a dazzling lead protagonist in some adventure film. She was the gay best friend. "
8 " Time travel is like knitting. You have to build on what’s come before, and weave the strands together until it becomes something beautiful. "
