1 " So, tell me, Ford—is that a family name? Or did your parents just like trucks? "
― J.A. Huss , Manic (Rook and Ronin, #2)
2 " Because Spencer is a certifiable genius, Ford is as ruthless as they come, and I'm an accomplished liar. "
3 " Spencer repeats, a little harsher now. "I want kissing, I want mad fucking passionate kissing. The kind of kissing I've seen in all those other photos of you, the kissing that is so filled with emotion and longing and lust, I'm instantly hard. Kiss me like that, Blackbird. "
4 " You," he answers softly. "I'm not trying to fix you, I'm just trying to give you the tools to fix yourself. "
5 " Where's Spencer?" I ask after looking around. "And everyone else?" It's just me, Ronin, and this asshole named after a truck. "
6 " If she can be stolen, then she was never yours to begin with. And do not insult my skills or question my ability to come through. I always come through. "
7 " Incapable of emotion—high-functioning Asperger's Syndrome with areas of prodigious savant skills. "
8 " And it might be sitting in non-traceable off-shore bank accounts. Because we might've stolen all his money while we were at it. Serves him right since the only reason he got caught is because he tried to steal yours. Paybacks are always a bitch. "
9 " Because your future is making itself right now, this very moment. And you have no idea it's happening. I want you so completely it hurts. But you and I are in two totally different places. "
