    “Sharing a room with the person you want most is like sharing a room with an open fire.

    He's constantly drawing you in. And you're constantly stepping too close. And you know it's not good--that there is no good--that there's absolutely nothing that can ever come of it.

    But you do it anyway.
    And then...
    Well. Then you burn.”
