41 " Everything changes,” I told him. “Eventually. "
― Megan Hart , Tempted (Alex Kennedy, #1)
42 " It was a kiss perfect in length and pressure and emotion, but unlike in the movies it didn’t make everything all better. "
43 " The circular conversation wasn’t new. Instead of feeling annoyed, I felt only sad. This man, for better or worse, was my father. "
44 " To those who’ve touched my life and made me who I am today, I say this: A different person could have told this story, but only the woman I am because of knowing you could have written this book. "
45 " I didn’t want to love him, but I didn’t want him not to love me. "
46 " Shadows suited him. On James they skittered and fled, even in the dark, leaving him bright and shining. On Alex they clung and caressed, dressing him in mystery. "
47 " I wanted to be angry with him, but since my love for him had burned to ash, I couldn’t find anything to mold into fury. "
48 " I turned only halfway, gave him half my attention. Half of myself. “Are you ever going to be happy again? "
49 " It was a doll’s smile. Plastic. She added a head-tilt and blank gaze. "
50 " Perfection is too high a goal to strive for. Sometimes working hard brings more satisfaction in the end. We appreciate what we’ve almost lost more than what we’ve never doubted. "
51 " It couldn’t last forever. It wasn’t meant to. So at last I rolled onto my side to face him. I let myself drink in the lines and curves of his face. "
52 " I didn’t have much in common with them aside from our gender, "
53 " I’d been a substitute for something they both wanted and neither could have. "
54 " James had eyes of summer-sky blue, ringed with deep navy. The contrast could be startling. The dark fringe of his lashes swept down as his eyes narrowed. He licked his lips. "
55 " is an intense butterfly, flitting from focus to focus and giving each his undivided attention. It’s flattering when it’s you. Not so charming when it isn’t. "
