21 " But with Sydney... with Sydney, I'd had it all- And lost it all. Love, understanding, respect. The sense that we'd both become better people because of each other and could take on anything so long as we were together. Only we weren't together anymore. They'd ripped us apart, and I didn't know what was going to happen now. "

22 " Not what you expected, huh?” she asked in a sad voice.I wrapped a towel around her and drew her close to me. “I expected to see the most beautiful woman in the world, to feel my heart skip a beat in her presence, and to want to carry her off to bed for a night neither of us will forget. So to answer your question, I got exactly what I expected.”A smile split her face, and she leaned into me. “Oh, Adrian. "
23 " Oh, man. You’re him. The cute and brooding vampire boyfriend.”“She said I was cute and brooding?” I asked. “Never mind. Why can’t I reach her? Where is she? "
24 " Do you know where to find a party or something?”“I’m Adrian Ivashkov,” I declared. “The parties find me. "
25 " Adrian, we hashed this out! Everything's gone perfectly until now. Why would you even think about deviating from the plan?''Um, because that's how we roll? "
26 " He is really cute,” I admitted, curious as to how many girls like me this guy had met.He shook his head in amusement as he worked on his painting. “Of course. I guess he’d have to be for you to risk so much, huh? Alchemists never fall for the Moroi who aren’t cute and brooding.”“I never said he was brooding.”“He’s a ‘really cute’ vampire who paints. Are you saying he doesn’t brood?”I felt my cheeks flush a little. “He broods a little. Okay … a lot. "
27 " Because I don’t do things in halves, Mom. Especially when it comes to love. "
28 " Insane is such an ugly word, a voice in my head said. Think of it as obtaining a new look at reality. "
29 " Darling" she said with a small laugh "Love doesn’t have anything to do with this." "It has very thing to do with it!" I exclaimed. "
30 " Adrian.He was the reason I was able to survive in this prison.And he was also the reason I was here in the first place. "
31 " Plus it'll give you a chance to get us a wedding present. We're not registered anywhere, but we could seriously use some china and a blender. "
32 " Lissa looked taken aback, but Jared Sage—my father-in-law now, I realized―showed nothing but contempt. "This is ridiculous. Humans and Moroi can't be married. That's your way, as well as ours. This isn’t a real marriage.""Not according to the state of Nevada," I said cheerfully. "We’ve got the paperwork to prove it. Get us a laptop, and we can all look at the wedding pictures together. "
33 " Rose lit up. “I’d totally help with that. Sydney’s my friend, and I’ve got experience with— "
34 " Why did you become romantically involved with such a foul creature?……..Because he's wonderful and sensitive and funny. Because we bring out the best in each other and are better people because of our love. Because when we're together, I feel like I understand my place in the world. "
35 " Oh my God, I thought. I’m rooming with the Sydney Sage of re-education. "
36 " Wait for me. Be strong, and I’ll be strong too. I’ll fight my way out of whatever they’ve got in store. I won’t forget you. I won’t ever turn my back on you, no matter what lies I have to tell them. Our center will hold. "
37 " The fact that you’re unsure probably means you need food that much more,” he said, which sounded like the weirdest logic I’d ever heard. “At least in my experience.”I wondered how much “experience” he had in these matters. I really didn’t know what he did in his free time. Maybe there was more Russian vodka being consumed than I knew about. I always just figured when he wasn’t working, he and Rose were off grappling on training mats, or whatever passed between those two as foreplay.“You sure you don’t want to go home and cuddle up with Rose?” I asked. "
38 " Beautiful," I murmured."I agree," Adrian said, and I saw his eyes were on me. "
39 " I could see her toughening up, working hard to put all those emotions away because she thought that’s what it meant tobe strong. I wanted to tell her that strength wasn’t about hiding your feelings, that it was okay for her to feel this way after what she’d been through. "
40 " I’ve always made it a rule in my life not to pick fights with children, cute animals, or ignorant old men. I will, however, make an exception for you if you ever touch or insult my wife again. "
