1 " It's fate, but fate just gives us a nudge in the right direction onthe fast lane, I guarantee she doesn't have her hands in your pockets while she's doing it "
― Shelly Crane , Defiance (Significance, #3)
2 " Caleb jerked me into the room and quickly shut the door as he flipped on the lights. “Well, that was just great,” he said sarcastically.“I’m sure she’s seen your cute behind before,” I told him as I went to my suitcase. “I’m sure she changed plenty of your diapers.” He grimaces. “I don’t want to think about it.” I just laughed at him more "
3 " Did anyone ever tell you that you're completely inappropriate?""They have. And you know, I had a little talk with myself about it. It turns out I'm cool with it. "
4 " You can't put fate on a schedule. "
5 " Sweetheart," he chided, making my heart skid. "You'll never need me more than I need you." I didn't argue out loud, though my mind made it clear that he was insane if he thought that was true. "
6 " Truly, all that was missing was Mission Impossible theme music, and if I was being honest, it was playing in my head anyway. "
7 " Do you still want this?" she asked in a whisper. "More than I want to breathe," he said in a groan. "
8 " He was such a…master of kissery. "
9 " The song that was playing above us was You And Me by Lifehouse and he pressed his face into my hair and softly sang the words to me.What day is it? And in what month?This clock never seemed so aliveI can't keep up I can't back downI'm losing so much time'Cause it's you and me, and all of the people with nothing to do, nothing to loseAnd it's you and me, and all of the people And I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of youI could have died... or cried...or sighed. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do more. "
10 " You do realize that you completely ''threw Kyle under the bus,'' I told him. ''Like threw him under and then put it in reverse "
11 " This boy at school taught me. But then he pulled my ponytail on the playground the next day, so I'm not really friends with him anymore.""Why did he pull your ponytail?""Momma says boys are mean when they like you," she whispered in a disgusted voice. "But I think Momma's been misinformed. "
12 " To be all in, no regrets, no turning back, no matter the consequences. It felt a lot like freedom. "
13 " His eyes lit up. "Oh, it's the Vanderbilts! They make these pumpkin and banana pancakes that are so good, they will make you want to slap your momma.""I already want to," I muttered under my breath."What's that?""Nothing. Let's go. "
14 " We'd had a hundred conversations with our eyes, with our senses, with our hands and movements, with not a word spoken. "
15 " Older is better with wine and men "
16 " Whatever happens today, Maggie," Rachel started and I saw her tearing up. I had to look away. "We're here. You will always be our family.""Even if we have to kidnap you and be a rogue clan," Gran muttered under her breath. "
17 " So, you used to come up here, too, and escape all the girl drama?" I said and chuckled when his cheeks turned a little red."Nah," he refuted. "It was always these two the girls wanted. The Jacobsons are hot commodities around here.""Bull crap! You had them eating up those stupid 'I'm a cowboy' stories and you know it," Kyle yelled. "The one about you saving your sister from the bull was classic. Classic!""Eat me," Rodney said, embarrassed. "
18 " Defiance of the way things are is the only way to embrace what's coming. "
19 " Sweetheart," he chided, making my heart skid. "You'll never need me more than I need you. "
20 " Is that cowboy logic? "
