1 " The only reason I really believe in my own goodness is because I see it reflected in her eyes-Jake Becker "
― Emma Chase , Sidebarred (The Legal Briefs, #3.5)
2 " She’s my love, my home, the solace to my soul, the keeper of my heart, the center of my entire fucking world. The only reason I really believe in my own goodness is because I see it reflected in her eyes. "
3 " Sometimes I look around and wonder, how the hell did I get here? How is this my life? It all changed so fast. But then I stop wondering. Because how this life became mine doesn’t really fucking matter. I’m just crazy-happy that it is. "
4 " I didn’t plan on you, Chelsea. Or them. and for as long as I live, you will be the best thing that ever happened to me. "
5 " There’s no way the person who made these lists actually has kids. They should be shot. And at this moment, I would defend the person who shoots them, pro bono. Just saying. "
6 " Chelsea’s arms flail out to her sides and she yells, “Who are you?”“I’m your husband.”“Really? I don’t remember exchanging rings with a fucking caveman!”I lean down over her, almost nose to nose. “Then you weren’t paying close enough attention.”...Brent would say this is healthy – getting it all out in the open. That theory can go suck a dick. "
7 " Making love sweetly has its place; long hours of endless foreplay are great, too. Hell, I can even get into the romance stuff – candles and rose petals and warm baths. But hard, fast fucking should never, ever, be underestimated – ‘cause it’s awesome. "
8 " Okay, here’s the deal – your aunt and I have noticed that you and Peter seem…pretty serious. And…we want to make sure you’re being safe. The last word hangs heavy in the air. Like one of Cousin It’s rancid dog farts.Riley’s face turns a startling shade of fire-endine red. “Oh my God. Is this really happening?”I pinch the bridge of my nose. “I know, I know, it’s fucking awful. "
9 " You don’t want to go in there, trust me.”I was Stanton’s roommate for four years. I know him well – I’ve seen things.“What? Are they screwing in there?”“Yep. In the desk chair.” Then he grins. “Did you know Sofia got a tattoo? "
10 " And if anyone ever pressures you or hurts you . . .”I will tie them to a tree and burn them alive. "
11 " Becker. My son’s name is Becker McQuaid. "
12 " Somebody tell me the old-fashioned way!” Regan yells. And Rosaleen gets fed up. “It’s when the man and woman fall in love and the man puts his penis in the woman’s vagina and nine months later a baby comes out of it.” Regan looks at me like I’m a monster. “You put your penis in Mommy’s vagina? "
13 " The other desk is just-dusted shiny and clean-save for the closed silver MacBook Pro laptop sitting dead center. I'm sure some parents would feel guilty about invading their kid's private space, but I'm not one of them. Kids can have privacy when they move out. "
