1 " My home is a little more complicated than coordinates on a map. "
― Jay Crownover , Rowdy (Marked Men, #5)
2 " We might have been on the outside looking in at our own families and our own lives, but at least we could stand outside together. "
3 " Scappare è facile, il difficile è restare "
4 " You're a dumb shit. There's a million first girls for a million different first things.There's the first girl you slow-dance with, and the first girl you go to bed with. There's the first girl to give you a kiss, and then the first one you take home to mama." His amber eyes lit up with humor."There's the first girl you fight with and the first girl you fight for. There's also the first girl you have to let go of. There's the first girl you love, obviously, and the first girl to break your heart.There's always a first girl, Rowdy, but there is also the girl that is going to come after her until you get to the last girl.The last girl is the one that really matters. "
5 " I always thought it was the firsts that matter, but now I know that it’s the lasts that stay with you. "
6 " You are the last person I want to kiss. The last woman I want in my bed. I want you to be the last girl that touches any and all parts of me, Salem, and that means so much more than a first. "
7 " It's okay to be scared, I really think that's how that whatever it is you're meant to be doing matters, but it's not okay to not find that thing you're supposed to be doing because you're afraid of something new. "
8 " I don't think it's where you go that matters, I think it's where you end up. "
9 " You found your family tree, Rowdy, and the branches are stronger and sturdier than most people with blood relatives have. "
10 " I kissed her because I had to. I kissed her because I wanted to. I kissed her because kissing her was starting to make me feel like I had found something I wasn't really aware I had been looking for. Mostly I kissed her because ever time she kissed me back I felt her settling a piece of herself even more deeply inside of me. "
11 " Fighting for everything made fighting for the things that actually mattered get lost in the noise and lose their significance. "
12 " There a million first girls for a million different first things. There’s the first girl you slow-dance with, and the first girl you go to bed with. There’s the first girl to give you a kiss, and then the first one you take home to your mama.” His amber eyes lit up with humor. “There’s the first girl you fight with and the first girl you fight for. There’s also the first girl you have to let go of. There’s the first girl you love, obviously, and the first girl to break your heart. There’s always a first girl, Rowdy, but there is also the girl that is going to come after her until you get to the last girl. The last girl is the one that really matters. "
13 " I feel like you and the past have been chasing me down ever since you walked into that shop, Salem.” She didn’t answer me but I noticed a little pink work its way into her dusky cheeks. “What are you going to do if I decide to let you catch me? "
14 " Dedicated to anyone who is trying to figure out where they are supposed to be. Don’t worry, friends, the universe has a plan for you; you just need to listen to what it’s trying to tell you and you’ll eventually end up exactly where you were always meant to be. "
15 " It might have taken me a long-ass time to figure out the difference between first love and real love, but, Salem, there is nothing more real than what I feel for you. "
16 " There’s always a first girl, Rowdy, but there is also the girl that is going to come after her until you get to the last girl. The last girl is the one that really matters. "
17 " We can know one thing, Rowdy, but our heart holds on to something else.” “I don’t want it to hold on to that anymore. I just want it to hold on to you. "
18 " Dedicato a tutti quelli che cercano di capire dove dovrebbero essere.Non preoccupatevi, amici, l’universo ha in serbo un piano per voi; dovete solo ascoltare quello che sta cercando di dirvi e alla fine arriverete esattamente dove avreste sempre dovuto essere. "
19 " I kissed her because I had to. I kissed her because I wanted to. I kissed her because kissing her was starting to make me feel like I had found something I wasn’t really aware I had been looking for. "
20 " I’ve heard you say my name in a lot of ways, Salem. Gotta say hearing you say it in bed when I’m about to eat you up is probably my favorite to date. "
