1 " I never thought that this moment would come for me. My whole life has been shaped to protect me and keep my heart safe. I know that I’m about to change all of that and I should be terrified. I lean forward and brush my lips across his. The fact that the fear never comes and all I can think about is Connor and his mouth on mine gives me the courage to speak. “Connor, make love to me.” I say against his lips. "
― Devon Herrera , Sapphire Universe (The Universe Series, #1)
2 " I will always carry you Princess. Not everyone can say they have held their entire Universe in their arms. "
3 " What do I need to do to get you to trust me? What do you want from me?” He yells. I steel myself and look up into his panicked eyes and fight the pull I feel at coming in contact with those sapphires again. “Nothing! I don’t want anything from you!” I shout out the biggest lie I have ever told in my entire life. Connor’s eyes widen at my words and his face falls, every ounce of fire gone from his gaze. He backs away then smiles weakly at me.“Well, Merry Fucking Christmas Nina, because you have it all anyway. "
4 " Princess, the whole idea of one grand gesture is bull shit. Ifyou’re with someone who never shows you they care in the littleways and then they do one huge drastic thing, that’s not love,that’s desperation." -Connor Wright "
5 " Come on Nina, you can’t avoid doing things just because you’re afraid you will get hurt.”“I’ll fall. I always fall and I don’t do it gracefully. I land hard and I usually break something. I’m a walking disaster just waiting to happen. Don’t you understand?”“I understand Nina, but this time it’s different.”“Why? How could this time possibly be any different than the others?”“It’s different, because this time I’m here to catch you. "
6 " It’s a message from the Universe. “The best relationships begin as friendships. "
7 " In ancient times a sapphire was given as an oath oftrust, honesty and loyalty. Sapphire is the original “true blue,”symbolizing sincerity and the soul. "
8 " I know it’s a lot to ask, but I’m asking anyway. Trust me. Trust me without knowing all the facts. "
9 " I always thought the allusive “O” that girls always talked about was an urban legend, but Connor is quickly turning me into a believer. "
