1 " She’s my daughter. The only one I have and the only child I’ll ever have. I see the fear in her eyes, I sense her hesitancy, but when I get her to smile it makes up for all those moments in between. I got this one chance. My last chance. I don’t want to blow what little time I have left with her so no, I don’t want anyone rocking her world. "
― Katie McGarry , Nowhere But Here (Thunder Road, #1)

12 " Eli’s your biological father, but I’m your dad. I’m not asking you to stay here forever. A week. Maybe two. You decide the length, no matter what Eli thinks.

13 " Girls don't go for guys who do magic. If a guy relies on sad shit like that it means he's got no game. "
