1 " It took a pair of ghosts to open my eyes. "
― Kelly Moran , Ghost of a Promise (Phantoms, #1)
2 " Calm down. Ghosts don’t ring the doorbell. "
3 " He looks at you like you’re crème brûlée. "
4 " I think you’ve been lying to yourself so long that you don’t know what the truth is anymore. "
5 " He’d be quoting Yeats any moment now if he kept up this nonsense. "
6 " Love came and went as often as the tide. Feelings changed. He never wanted to fall into that trap. Why allow himself to fall for something as frail as love? "
7 " This was where she belonged. Right here with him. Forever. “I love you,” she whispered. She’d burst if she didn’t tell him, die painfully if he let her go. Emotion clogged her throat. "
8 " I love you, Ava. I should’ve started this whole crazy thing by saying that. I love you and I missed you like mad. It wasn’t a spell. It was you. I found home. "
9 " He’d known it would be good between them, he just wasn’t prepared for how good. Like the-bloody-earth-moved good. "
10 " You have my word, luv.” He kissed her. “And my heart. "
11 " But not once had he almost lost it. Not like last night. Never had he fumbled, laughed and…connected to another like with Ava. "
12 " This wasn’t the first time she saw past his facade. It probably wouldn’t be the last. Yet the intimacy of having this woman know him so damn well was unnervingly welcome. "
13 " And today she looked at him in a way she had yet to before. With acceptance. With affection. "
14 " The woman got to him. Deeply. If she wasn’t spitting fire she was driving him to his knees with her kindness. Such an endearing contradiction she was. "
15 " Something unspoken passed between them, a sensation she couldn’t describe in words. "
16 " This was where she belonged. Right here with him. Forever. “I love you,” she whispered. She’d burst if she didn’t tell him, die painfully if he let her go. "
17 " His voice was cracking and hoarse with fear. Unshed tears shimmered in his eyes. "
18 " She’d burst if she didn’t tell him, die painfully if he let her go. Emotion clogged her throat. Helplessness ached in her stomach. "
