1 " I thought winning the World Championship was the best thing, the only goal I had for a long time. Shit, was I wrong. I realize today that the best thing includes winning with your loved ones. "
― Lauren Asher , Throttled (Dirty Air, #1)
2 " I think love is about happiness and sacrifice. Comprising instead of arguing. Having someone who is always there for you even when you don't deserve it. Loving someone means you want to spend the rest of your life with them on the good days and the bad days and everything in between. "
3 " If it were another life, I’d probably do right by you. I’d take you on dates and try harder. But that’s not who I am or how I was raised. I don’t know how to be the kind of emotional guy you desire. "
4 " Because I already called dibs on you.” His intense gaze makes me shudder. “You can’t call dibs on people. You sound like a B-list rom-com.” “But I fuck like an A-list porno. "
5 " Closure is a funny concept. Everyone talks about how cathartic it feels, but no one describes the pain you experience before. The courage needed to push through tough situations. How much it rips a person up to know they need to let go, not because they want to, but because they have to. "
6 " I think you’ve ruined me. "
7 " I could never win again and be perfectly fine so long as you're by my side. In my bed. I like you a lot. "
8 " I look up into Noah’s eyes and immediately regret it. His shade of blue easily becomes my favorite, reminding me of Barcelona’s coastal waters. "
9 " I'm into Maya. Like really into her. "
10 " Santiago, please come collect your sister. She fucks up everyone’s work schedule. "
11 " And if I learned one thing in therapy, besides the fact that crying makes my face puffy as fuck, is how love doesn’t come with conditions. No ifs, ands, or buts. It should make you a better person—not because you have to be, but because you want to be. "
12 " Basically, Noah is a heartache disguised in pretty packaging. He has the same allure as a pint of Chocolate Fudge Brownie ice cream. And no sex on Earth is worth his kind of trouble. See, Mom, I told you I would try to be more responsible! Look at me go. "
13 " El miedo no siempre es una debilidad. Es lo que haces con el miedo lo que muestra tu verdadera fuerza. "
14 " Hermoso imbecil. "
15 " His intoxicating cologne short-circuits my brain cells. "
16 " I look up into Noah's eyes and immediately regret it. His shade of blue easily becomes my favorite, reminding me of Barcelona's coastal waters. "
17 " Except he isn't in his chair anymore.He looks up at me with the smirk I love, while he's down on one knee, holding a ring box. "
18 " No puedes ser corrompido por algo que te hizo. "
19 " Me gusta considerarme como mi mayor amenaza. "
20 " I realize the blue matches the color of Noah’s eyes. Fuck me. A fashion equivalent of a Freudian slip. "
