1 " Their love wasn’t simple. Practice gave it an effortless appearance, but that was far from the truth. It was a kind word in the morning, a thoughtful meal prepared without request, a kiss before parting ways, a kiss when coming back together. A million tiny kindnesses sprinkled throughout the days, the months, the years. "

8 " What now?”I pretended to consider him. “Tell me you love me and wait to see if I say it back.”The color washed out of his cheeks. “That hardly seems fair.”“That’s how it’s done.” A shrug rolled through my shoulders. “Boys have to go first. "
9 " You might think you’re insulting Linus when you talk smack about him, but you’re really insulting Grier. She wouldn’t be with a guy who treats her like dirt. Note how she’s not with you anymore? "
10 " He had embraced all the broken parts of me, and I was just as willing to love all his jagged pieces. "
