“«Voglio qualcuno che mi ami così tanto da non sopportare l’idea di doverci nascondere nell’ombra. Voglio qualcuno che mi ami così tanto che tutte le cose brutte e difficili che possono derivare dall’uscire alla luce del sole non lo preoccupino perché le affronteremmo insieme.» Mi sfuggì un piccolo singhiozzo. «Non voglio supplicare per avere tutto questo.»«Con lui avevi la sensazione di farlo?»Un’altra lacrima scivolò lungo il mio viso, scomparendo nei miei capelli. «No. Era… bello. Giusto.» Luke mi mancava. Con lui non mi sentivo una persona diversa. Mi sentivo la versione più forte e più potente di quella che ero già. Adesso ero disposta ad ammettere il mio valore; sapevo che valevo più di una sola notte a settimana.Anche lui, del resto. Solo che non voleva correre il rischio. E io non sarei stata la rete di sicurezza di nessuno, convenientemente piazzata e su cui atterrare in tutta tranquillità.Volevo essere il viaggio avventuroso, la caduta libera, il salto da una scogliera verso qualcosa di esaltante.Prima o poi, sarei stata in grado di stare nella sua stessa stanza senza pensare che lui era stato esattamente quello per me, anche se per breve tempo.«Quindi sei innamorata di lui?» domandò Paige a bassa voce.Mi morsi l’interno della guancia. Non volevo più piangere. Innamorarsi avrebbe dovuto essere piacevole, giusto? Non qualcosa che ti faceva piangere. D’altronde, suppongo che questo fosse ciò che accadeva quando capitolavi nello stesso giorno in cui qualcuno faceva scoppiare una bomba nella tua vita privata.Ma ero davvero innamorata di Luke Pierson?Sì.Doveva essere l’unica spiegazione per cui tutto questo mi rendeva così infelice. Perché, mentre sedevo sul divano nella casa in cui ero cresciuta, non pensavo più all’imbarazzo che avevo provato. Non pensavo a chi aveva visto cosa, o se i tifosi avevano perso il rispetto per me. Pensavo solamente a lui.«Ha importanza?» chiesi a Paige. O all’universo. O a chiunque mi stesse ascoltando.Lei non rispose. Nessuno lo fece. Di sicuro sarebbe stato carino se una voce tonante mi avesse detto cosa fare. Ma non c’era nessuno. Solo io, che cercavo di capire cosa diavolo sarebbe accaduto ora”

“I knew it," I whispered to Lia. "I told you I'd be the only one wearing a dress." People milled around the center, and all those jerks wearing jeans and leggings and cute T-shirts were like one giant taunt when I thought about the fact that I'd shaved my legs for this.”

“Families, especially good ones, are like …” I hesitated, searching for a good example. “They’re like celebrities to me. I’ve heard of them, seen pictures, maybe I’ve even met a few of them. But I wouldn’t have the slightest clue how to act around them or understand what their life is like. Does that make sense?”
