― Krista Ritchie , The Failed Audition (Circus Is Family #1)

4 " I’m average. I’ve been average most of my life, but there are moments where I feel extraordinary. Invincible. Able to conquer any fear and step outside any box. There is no illusion, no fantasy. I can climb a forty-foot pole. I can fly eighty-feet in the air. I can be taller than tall. It’s a dream that I’m living. Every day. With him. "

― Krista Ritchie , The Failed Audition (Circus Is Family #1)

10 " I’m in love with you,” I whisper.

― Krista Ritchie , The Failed Audition (Circus Is Family #1)

11 " The things greater than us, Thora, they’re not impossible. It’s just fear talking, telling you that you can’t when you can. I know you can. "

― Krista Ritchie , The Failed Audition (Circus Is Family #1)

12 " Why are you so patient with me?” I whisper.

13 " This was unintentional.”
It became something more without noticing. Without realizing. “Am I a mistake—”
“No, myshka. You’re just the unexpected, beautiful thing in my life. "

― Krista Ritchie , The Failed Audition (Circus Is Family #1)

14 " Trust me.”
“I don’t even know you,” I say softly, adrenaline pulsating through my veins. He has led me to the precipice of a cliff, pushed me off, and now he’s clasping my wrist. He can let go at any moment, and I will fall.
“Every day,” he says lowly, “I hold a person’s life in my hands. The circus is based one-hundred percent off trust. I give it all to someone, and they give it all to me. I’m asking you, right now, to trust me. "

― Krista Ritchie , The Failed Audition (Circus Is Family #1)

15 " He’s made me appreciate myself more, love myself more, and as a result, I’ve come to see him as more than just a great athlete, a charismatic performer.
Nikolai Kotova is the sum of his brothers and sister. And more.
He is selfless, loyal, dedicated and wholly determined—the most responsible twenty-six-year-old, the most mature man. He is power and strength. But most importantly, he is love. And family.
He kisses me again, his hand warming the back of my neck. “Whatever happens, just know that the parts of my life with you have been my favorite. "

― Krista Ritchie , The Failed Audition (Circus Is Family #1)

16 " We’re not going to fit together.”
“We are,” he says lowly. “In all ways. "

― Krista Ritchie , The Failed Audition (Circus Is Family #1)

17 " I’m sure if the carpet had eyes, it’d be fixated on his cock too. "

― Krista Ritchie , The Failed Audition (Circus Is Family #1)

18 " I admire your courage. I know what you’ve given up to be here. I know the kind of artist it takes to land a role. I know that you won’t receive one on your own. And I imagine you, myshka, two years from now, working at Phantom with the same aspirations, the same dreams, in the same place where you are now. It’s wasted courage. And wasted love. You shouldn’t have to waste those things.”
I’m speechless.
And overwhelmed. When someone reaches out and gives you a hand—for no other reason than to see your success—it’s powerful. And rare.
He wipes beneath my eye with his thumb. “I’d rather feed your hunger than watch you starve "

― Krista Ritchie , The Failed Audition (Circus Is Family #1)

19 " You’re supposed to stare at me like I’m a devil, not a god.”
Wittier words actually come to me, my face lighting before I say, “I think you’ve always been both. "

― Krista Ritchie , The Failed Audition (Circus Is Family #1)

20 " He is power. Man. And strength. He is charm and desire and indestructible things.
I want to emit an equivalent passion. I want to be strength and desire. But I’m not sure how to match him and still move. It’s easy to be confident in the face of average-standing competition. It’s hard to pretend you’re something greater in the face of someone who’s already beyond great. "
