Keep in mind that people change, but the past doesn’t.
Being with you never felt wrong. It’s the one thing I did right. You’re the one thing I did right.
All this time I’ve hated myself for it. I thought I’d given it up for nothing. But if I hadn’t fallen, I wouldn’t have met you.
Call me Patch. I mean it. Call me.
The problem with human attraction is not knowing if it will be returned.
What good is a body if I can’t have you?
Patch wasn’t the kind of guy mothers smiled on. He was the kind of guy they changed the house locks for.
I love you more than I think I should.
Killer skirt, deadly legs.
Did I really want to stay on this road longer, knowing it was only going to end in devastation?
The more time I spent with him, the more I knew the feelings weren’t going away.
What was up with class today? It was watered-down porn. He practically had you and Patch on top of your lab table, horizontal, minus your clothes, doing the Big Deed.
If I’d wanted you dead five minutes ago, you’d have died five minutes ago.
Any happiness, no matter how brief, seemed better than the long, simmering torture of waking up day after day, knowing I could never have him.
Because I thought I was in love. And when you think you’re in love, you are willing to stick it out and make it work until it is love.
Thinking. A process by which I use my brain to make a rational decision.
Patch stood over me, and a drop of rain slid from his hair, landing like ice on my collarbone. I felt it slide along my skin, disappearing beneath the neckline of my shirt. His eyes followed the raindrop, and I began to quiver on the inside.
One more secret smile. One more shared laugh. One more electric kiss. Finding him was like finding someone I didn’t know I was searching for.
Patch’s eyes were slate black, darker than a million secrets stacked on top of each other. He dropped his gaze to the ring in his hand, turning it over slowly. “Swear you’ll never stop loving me,” I whispered. Ever so slightly, he nodded.
You’re mine, Angel. And I’m yours. Nothing can change that.
