Happy Ever After (Bride Quartet, #4) QUOTES

1 " When you find somebody you love, all the way through, and she loves you—even with your weaknesses, your flaws, everything starts to click into place. And if you can talk to her, and she listens, if she makes you laugh, and makes you think, makes you want, makes you see who you really are, and who you are is better, just better with her, you’d be crazy not to want to spend the rest of your life with her. (Carter Maguire) "

2 " Why do we go to all this trouble' Parker asked. 'Men don't notice anyway.'
'Because what we wear affects how we feel, how we act, how we move. And that they do notice. Especially the move. Get dressed, smoke the eyes. You'll know you look good so you'll feel good. You'll have a better time. "

3 " If you’re looking for the full deal, the till-death deal, then look at me. No one’s ever going to love you, stick by you, understand how you work the way I do.

8 " We’re going to get a couple pretty, fluffy inches in the morning for a gorgeous December evening wedding. Go get ready for rehearsal.”

“I’m afraid of rehearsal. My voice is going to squeak. I think I’m getting a zit right in the middle of my chin. I’m going to trip coming down the aisle. It’s okay if Carter trips. People expect it. But –”

…

“Carter isn’t nervous. “Mac narrowed her eyes in a scowl. “I could hate him for that.”

“Mackensie.” Parker turned from the computer. “I was in the kitchen this morning when Mrs. G made him sit down and eat some breakfast. He put maple syrup in his coffee.”

“He did?” She threw up her arms in a cheer. “He is nervous. I feel better. "

9 " And don’t worry.” Bob, Carter’s best man and colleague, held up a notebook computer. “I’ve got it handled on this end. And I memorized the vows just in case he needs me to throw him a line.”

“You’re a treasure, Bob.”

She waited until she was out of earshot to laugh. "

13 " To my mind, reaching out, reaching for one another doesn’t make what happened to those girls less of a tragedy, or make anyone less heartsick for them and their families. But point taken.You don’t want me to listen.You don’t want me to hold your hand. So that makes the need to do those things about me, not you. "

16 " Dacă relaţia lor ar fi rămas una superficială, acea reticenţă nu ar fi contat. Dar nu rămăsese, credea Parker, aşa că era importantă. Conta, fiindcă trecuse de faza de interes, se abandonase atracţiei, explodase în dorinţă, se împiedicase în afecţiune, iar acum derapa necontrolat spre iubire. "

- Vreau o viaţă alături de tine, şi-o să împrumut cuvintele lui Jack şi Del acum - într-un fel. Vreau să încep acea viaţă, fiindcă tu eşti Parker. Tu eşti acea viaţă, eşti totul. Vreau ca povestea noastră să devină adevărată. Vreau - şi de data asta cuvintele îmi aparţin în întregime -, vreau să-ţi fac promisiuni şi vreau să le indeplinesc. Te iubesc şi vreau să-ţi promit că o să te iubesc tot restul vieţii mele. "

19 " I am not glowy.” Laurel simply turned Parker by the shoulders to the big foyer mirror. “You were saying?” Maybe color did glow in her cheeks, and maybe her eyes were a little dazzled, but . . . “That’s irritation.” “I won’t say ‘liar, liar,’ but, Parks, under that skirt, your pants are on fire. "
