1 " You just never know what hurts people are living with, do you? Were all so good at hiding them. "
― Samantha Young , Down London Road (On Dublin Street, #2)
2 " Some people are born with family, and others have to make family. "
3 " You know, the world will always try to make you into who it wants you to be. People, time, events, they’ll all try to carve away at you and make you think you don’t know who you are. But it doesn’t matter who they try to make you, or what name they try to give you. If you stay true, you can chip off all their machinations and you’re still you underneath it all. "
4 " Be Caledonia. "
5 " I think we need to come up with a child-friendly phrase for f-u-c-k off.""Duck off?""Exactly. Braden, duck off, you sarcastic dastard. "
6 " What I feel for you … It’s all-consuming,he breathed, leaning his forehead against mine again. ‘It’s almost debilitating. It’s too much. It’s … I can’t even describe it, but being with you is … there’s this intensity inside me all the time, this … constant pull, desperation … it’s like you’re branded on me or something. And it bloody well burns. "
7 " Cam and I just broke up."Cam laughed, hugging me even tighter into his side.I huffed, trying to wriggle free. "What are you doing?""Getting back together with you. "
8 " I've never met anyone as quietly brave and strong as you. I've never met a woman so unassuming, so kind, and so selfless. You are a complex lady." His mouth curled up at the corners. "And you are smart, and passionate, and funny, and exciting, and you blow me fucking away. "
9 " People can be … well, they can be wonderful. And sometimes, unfortunately, they can be monsters we hide from inside our homes. We worry that those monsters will find their way inside. We’re not supposed to fear that they already are inside. Your mom and dad are supposed to protect you from that. They’re not supposed to be the monster. "
10 " When his blue eyes met mine, I inhaled sharply at the raw need in them. "You're stunning," he whispered hoarsely. "No man can possibly deserve you. "
11 " I guess that’s the problem when you really get to know someone. You learn all their triggers and emotional buttons, and unfortunately, in times of war, you press them. "
12 " Fuck, man,” Nate breathed, his attention suddenly on the shoes and my legs. “Don’t let her sell those.” His heated eyes devoured me. “Those are shit hot.”“I will seriously hit you,” Cam warned him darkly.Nate shrugged, threw me a cheeky grin, and turned back to the television screen.“Not my fault your girlfriend is so bloody fuckable.”Cole slammed his shoulder into Nate before Cam could retaliate. “Dude, that’s my sister. "
13 " My body was panting, "He's hot. Can we have him?" while my mind was screaming, "Oh, dear God, what the hell are you thinking? "
14 " Perfectly good sex?" Cam interrupted us, drawing both our gazes. His voice was low with some unnamed emotion. "Abstain?" His now heated eyes ran the length of me before returning to meet mine. "Then he isn’t doing it right. "
15 " Now go. Hang out with your friends and be immature. Responsible," I added hurriedly, "but immature."He made a face. "Do those two go hand in hand?""If your immaturity can lead to consequences, then it's irresponsible."Cole grunted. "You should write that shi- stuff down.""I heard the "shit" in there, baby boy, and I'm stealing the last PopTart as punishment.""Harsh, Jo." He shook his head, backing off with a smile. "Harsh. "
16 " Braden, Ellie, and Adam came in and took their usual table directly across from us so that Braden and Joss could screw each other with their eyes. "
17 " A heads up...so you're not too disappointed that Disney lied - no matter how much you wish it, I'll still be here when you open your eyes. "
18 " I love you... So much I want to kill you sometimes. "
19 " Has anyone ever told you, you are the most despicable, judgmental, self-righteous, obnoxious fuckwit that ever existed? "
20 " Violence should never be the answer.Aye, in a perfect world. But sometimes animals don't understand anything but their own language. "
