2 " happiness doesn’t leave scars. "
3 " I'd like to know what you're thinking right now.""I'm not telling you. That's why I didn't say it out loud. Because that's how thingking works."Chase laughed. "Sometimes in interviews they ask you what superpower you'd like to have. I used to choose being able to read people's minds. Then Facebook happend, and I got over that. "
4 " Nobody gets married thinkng it won't work. They get married because they have hope it will. "
5 " If she were on fire and I had a glass of water, I would drink it. "
6 " The best kiss is the one that has been exchanged a thousand times between the eyes before it reaches the lips #Chase "
7 " I want to remember the happy times,” I said. “But all I can remember is when he hurt me. Why is that?” “Probably because happiness doesn’t leave scars. "
8 " Okay, I know it's weird, but whenever I watch a movie like this and someone goes underwater, I hold my breath to see if I would have survived.""It's not weird. I do that too. But I almost died watched Finding Nemo. "
9 " it was the softest material I had ever felt. Like it had been collected from the bellies of baby Angora bunnies raised on organic carrots who had slept on cotton balls. "
10 " I wish I could promise to never hurt you again. But I’ll hurt you. And you’ll hurt me. That’s what happens when people love each other. "
11 " I loved him and wanted a life with him. I knew our lives wouldn’t be perfect, but we would be perfect for each other, and that’s what mattered. "
12 " Every time I thought I couldn’t possibly love him more, he did something to prove me wrong. "
13 " I actually prefer SALTS to LOL. Smiled A Little, Then Stopped. "
14 " So, twelve plus one is the same as eleven plus two, right?” “Right.” “But did you know that when you take the letters in twelve plus one, you can rearrange them to be eleven plus two? "
15 " He seems a little lost without his tablet,” Chase said softly to me. “Right? Like someday I expect to wake up and find that it’s become permanently attached to his hand. I try to get him to go out and do real-life stuff like this. It tends to backfire. Like one night I was feeling inspired, so I told them no devices, no TV. That we were going to play board games.” “How did that go?” “Let me put it this way—now I understand why all those parents in the 1960s were alcoholics. "
16 " He stepped closer, and the air around me forgot how it was supposed to function in providing me oxygen. Either that or my lungs had stopped working. He leaned in, and my entire body cheered, Yes! Finally! "
17 " Chemistry is touching someones mind and setting their body on fire "
18 " I looked like something the cat found in the dump, dragged across town, and then shoved under the dryer. "
19 " I was a font of useless information. The only thing that had ever rivaled my Chase obsession was my love of all things trivia. Trivial Pursuit games ended with me drinking the tears of my fellow players and leaving a trail of their bloodied hearts all over the board.After my grandparents left the Amish in Pennsylvania and moved out to California, one of the first things they bought was a TV. When I lived with them decades later, they still had that same television. The only program they ever watched was Jeopardy!, and I remember sitting on their uncomfortable couch in between them as they missed so many questions. My guess was that my love for weird cultural minutiae came from them. Alex Trebek was kind of my hero.So I tweeted out random facts. Which was better than having to hear Lexi say, “If you say one more thing about stoplight colors, I will slip arsenic into your orange juice.”Twitter was a good outlet for my useless knowledge. "
20 " It was strange seeing him. Up to that point, Chase hadn’t been a real person to me. He was a character in a movie or a faceless entity sending out tweets. It was like it suddenly dawned on me that he was an actual human being. Like me. Or Lexi.Obviously way hotter and taller and more amazing than Lexi or me, but still.In all those years when we planned on meeting him, my imagined reactions usually involved screaming and jumping up and down, with tears streaming from my face.I didn’t feel the urge to do any of those things. Turned out I had some dignity where he was concerned.It was a nice thing to discover. "
