21 " She was crazy. I looked at her to see she was grinning like the crazy I thought she was at the windshield. “Keyed his truck, keyed his face. Abuser fuckwad, bested by a girl with curly hair. Totally… fucking… rad,” Tabby decreed. Her words hit me. They soaked in. And I began grinning. She was right. It was. It absolutely was. Totally… fucking… rad. "

22 " Yo, Hawk. "
23 " Before we learn what’s right, we put our trust in the wrong people, and it’s never good to start life’s adventures, especially important ones like marriage, when we’re too young even to know ourselves. "
24 " God took my boy. Then He gave me you. "
25 " So I was in my LeLane’s uniform of polo, khakis, and Converse (though, LeLane’s didn’t require Converse, that was my nod to style because everyone knew Converse rocked). "
26 " He crossed his arms on his chest. “You do know with this shit you’re pullin’ that no way in fuck I’m ever gonna stop and help a woman change her tire again.” “That’s fifty cents.” He stared at me. Then he turned on his boot and stalked to the door, muttering, “Fuck me.” “Sixty cents!” I yelled at his back. "
27 " The good he got from the people who cared about him set him up to return it, maybe not to them, but to people who deserved it. And that was what it was all about. The meaning of life. Why every person on the planet was there. They got what they gave and then they gave what they got, and it was the measure of you if you could endure the shit that came with life and still find it in you to focus on the good and put that out there. "
28 " Joker’s voice was a quiet growl when he stated, “You know you got my love, brother.” “I do,” Tack returned. “And it’s a privilege, Carson. "
29 " Butterfly, advice. Don’t start playin’ new games when you’re already winnin’ the one you’re in. "
30 " it was the measure of you if you could endure the shit that came with life and still find it in you to focus on the good and put that out there. "
31 " That was uncanny in an eerie way, Hawk calling you right when we started talking about him.”“Lee Nightingale is a supreme badass. Hawk’s a bona fide superhero who doesn’t wear a ridiculous suit. This is no joke. He probably sensed our discussion thought powers he got when his mom was pushin’ him out and got struck by lightning or something. I don’t ask. He’s an ally. He’s also a brother of Tack’s. I’m just happy he isn’t an enemy.”“I kinda wanna meet him now "
32 " Right there, his world was done. Because there was nothing that would be better than Carissa Teodoro standing a foot away with her hand warm on his, grinning up at him. Nothing. "
33 " I take it you just etched your name on the invitation list for our little coffee klatch,” Mitch noted, now looking at Sebring. Knight grinned. “I’ll bring the pastries. "
34 " And that was what it was all about. The meaning of life. Why every person on the planet was there. They got what they gave and then they gave what they got, and it was the measure of you if you could endure the shit that came with life and still find it in you to focus on the good and put that out there. "
35 " I was also trying to control my mouth from opening and asking what was happening at the same time control my body from hurling itself in his arms. "
36 " I think I might be falling in love with you,” I blurted and watched his face change to an expression I would have rushed to my phone to capture if I wasn’t captivated by it, not wanting to miss an instant. “Then quit thinkin’, Carrie, because I know I’m fallin’ for you. "
37 " He moved out the door but looked back, doing it over his leather clad shoulder, a sinister biker who had a light touch, a molten look, a way with babies, and a talented mouth. "
38 " Time for you to go all in, Joke. And time for you to stop accepting the dregs, reach for what you deserve, and take hold of butterflies.” Joker "
39 " He knew he was in there. He knew why. He knew that was his place to be. Because he knew he deserved to be there. "
40 " off at home, do you want… I mean, are you in a hurry?” After asking that, she grinned at him. His world ended. Right there, his world was done. Because there was nothing that would be better than Carissa Teodoro standing a foot away with her hand warm on his, grinning up at him. Nothing. “We could go have a Blizzard before you go,” she finished. "
