I try not to imagine what it would feel like if I leaned forward and kissed her, but with her this close, I’m really wishing I’d have already somehow read every romance novel ever written, because what the hell makes a kiss book-worthy? I need to know so I can make it happen.
Fallon, I’m worked up so damn tight. I’m going to kiss you now and I’m not sorry.
She slams the door shut without saying please or thank you or goodbye. And even though she’s the most inconsiderate person I’ve ever met in real life, I can’t stop smiling. I think we may have just bonded.
I’d rather love you at the bottom than despise you at the top.
One should only walk away from an autobiography with, at best, an uncomfortable distaste for its author.
When I’m with you, I think of all the great things I could be if I were without you.
She’s crying, not because she’s sad, but because she doesn’t know how to express what she’s feeling. She knows there aren’t words good enough for this moment.
My favorite conversations are the ones with no real answers.

Until he comes back for me, I’m just going to keep pretending to be okay. I’ll keep pretending to swim, when really all I’m doing is floating. Barely keeping my head above water.
He presses his palm against my heart. “And no one else deserves to be inside you if they can’t get there through here first.
I keep waiting for the day when it will hurt less. When I won’t miss him as much.
I love you more this year than any year that came before it.
I need you to know that it was always you who had my heart. And I would have never let anyone else borrow it if I knew there was a chance in hell you’d ever want it back.
We’re only given one mind and body at birth. And they’re the only ones we get, so it’s up to us to take care of ourselves.
You warned me. You said one time with you wouldn’t be enough. You said you were like a drug. But you failed to tell me you were the most addictive kind.
You get really angry when you’re hungry. You get hangry. It’s like you’re not even the same person. Can we keep granola bars in your purse or something? It’s just that I worry about my balls.
The lights from inside the gallery are illuminating her skin, giving her a glow that really does make her look like an angel. I want to run my hand across her back and feel for actual wings.
