82 " My heart beats her name "
83 " I politely suggested she drive off a cliff. "
84 " The thing about happiness, though, is that it never lasts. "
85 " Fuck seventeen. "
86 " All I want is you. You don't have to choose me now or ever, but when you choose, I want you free. "
87 " I would wait forever for the promise of seeing Mara, unleashed. "

89 " Well, you are awfully pale." I exhaled slowly. Refused to look up. He reached for my bare foot and squeezed my toes. "And cold." I pulled my feet away. "Bad circulation." "You could always bite me, just to test.I hate you, too, by the way. Just so you know." "Oh, I do. I would suggest make-up sex, but... " "Too bad you have scruples," I said.

98 " I wanted to lose myself and I couldn’t. I’m chasing an oblivion I will never find. "
99 " It's my way of telling you that I can't bear to look at my bed without seeing you in it," he said, and his words made me shiver. " So do try to avoid a lockdown." I felt him withdraw, and I opened my eyes. "I'll get right on that," I breathed. One final wicked smile. You'd better. "
