    Melissa Marr
    “She stood in his kitchen, watching him toy with the ring in his lip. It wasn't quite that he was biting it, but sucking it into his mouth. He did that when he was concentrating. It isn't sexy. He's not sexy. But he was, and she was staring at him like a fool. "wow" she whispered (.....)"Wow, huh?" His voice was low, husky. His chair creaked as he stood. His footsteps seemed strangely loud as he closed the couple yards between them. Then he was beside her. "I can work with wow”

    “you're @ home?"She could hear him moving around..."I'll let you go then."
    "What if I dont want you to?"he said.
    She heard the music as he walked toward his room, some sort of jazz.her heart sped up, thinking of him stretched out on his bed too, "Good night, Seth."
    "So ur running again, then? One of his boots thudded on the floor."I'm not running."..
    "Really?"
    "Really.Its just--"She stopped.
    "Maybe you should slow down, so i can catch you."He paused, waiting.He seemed to do that more & more lately, make statements that invited her to admit something dangerous to their friendship.When she didnt answer he added, "Sweet dreams, Ash.”

    Veronica Roth
    “I have something I need to tell you," he says. I run my fingers along the tendons in his hands and look back at him. "I might be in love with you." He smiles a little. "I'm waiting until I'm sure to tell you, though."
    "That's sensible of you," I say, smiling too. "We should find some paper so you can make a list or a chart or something."
    I feel his laughter against my side, his nose sliding along my jaw, his lips pressing my ear.
    "Maybe I'm already sure," he says, "and I just don't want to frighten you."
    I laugh a little. "Then you should know better."
    "Fine," he says. "Then I love you.”
    Veronica Roth, Divergent

    “People tend to overestimate my character," I say quietly. "They think that because I'm small, or a girl, or a Stiff, I can't possibly be cruel. But they're wrong.”
    Veronica Roth, Divergent

    “Okay, okay.” I set my hand on top of his and guide it to my chest, so it’s right over my heart. “Feel my heartbeat. Can you feel it?”

    “Yes.”

    “Feel how steady it is?”

    “It’s fast.”

    “Yes, well, that has nothing to do with the box.” I wince as soon as I’m done
    speaking. I just admitted to something. Hopefully he doesn’t realize that.”
    Veronica Roth, Divergent

    “Wait a second," Four says. I turn toward him, wondering which version of Four I'll see now-the one who scolds me, or the one who climbs Ferris wheels with me. He smiles a little, but the smile doesn't spread to his eyes, which look less tense and worried.

    "You belong here, you know that?" he says. "You belong with us. It'll be over soon, so just hold on, okay?"

    He scratches behind his ear and looks away, like he's embarrassed by what he said.

    I stare at him. I feel my heartbeat everywhere, even in my toes. I feel like doing something bold, but I could just as easily walk away. I am not sure which option is smarter, or better. I am not sure that I care.

    I reach out and take his hand. His fingers slide between mine. I can't breathe.

    I stare up at him, and he stares down at me. For a long moment, we stay that way. Then I pull my hand away and run after Uriah and Lynn and Marlene. Maybe now he thinks I'm stupid, or strange. Maybe it was worth it.”

    “Okay. Then...I can talk. Ask me something."
    "Okay." He laughs shakily in my ear. "Why is your heart racing Tris?"
    I cringe and say, "Well, I...I barely know you. I barely know you and I'm crammed up against you in a box, Four, what do you think?"...
    "Maybe you were cut out for Candor," he says, "because you're a terrible liar.”

    “He turns toward me. I want to touch him, but I’m afraid of his bareness; afraid that he will make me bare too.
    ‘Is this scaring you, Tris?’
    ‘No,’ I croak. I clear my throat. ‘Not really. I’m only…afraid of what I want.’
    ‘What do you want?’ Then his face tightens. ‘Me?’
    Slowly I nod.”

    “I hear my heartbeat. I have been looking at him too long, but then, he has been looking back, and I feel like we are both trying to say something the other can't hear, though I could be imagining it. Too long - and now even longer, my heart even louder, his tranquil eyes swallowing me whole.”
    Veronica Roth, Divergent

    “He gives me a conflicted look and touches his lips to my forehead, right between my eyebrows. I close my eyes. I don't understand this, whatever it is. But I don't want to ruin it, so I say nothing. He doesn't move; he just stays there with his mouth pressed to my skin, and I stay there with my hands on his waist, for a long time.”
    Veronica Roth, Divergent

    “It's not the face, but the expressions on it. It's not the voice, but what you say. It's not how you look in that body, but the thing you do with it. You are beautiful.”
    Stephenie Meyer, The Host

    Stephenie Meyer
    “What was it that made this human love so much more desirable to me than the love of my own kind? Was it because it was exclusive and capricious? The souls offered love and acceptance to all. Did I crave a greater challenge?...Or was it simply better somehow? Because these humans hate with so much fury, was the other end of the spectrum that they could love with more heart and zeal and fire?”
    Stephenie Meyer, The Host

    Richelle Mead
    “What was love, really? Flowers, chocolate, and poetry? Or was it something else? Was it being able to finish someone's jokes? Was it having absolute faith that someone was there at your back? Was it knowing someone so well that they instantly understood why you did the things you did—and shared those same beliefs?”
    Richelle Mead, Last Sacrifice

    Richelle Mead
    “I think you smoke them so you have something to do while thinking up your next witty line."
    He choked on the smoke, caught between inhaling and laughing. "Rose Hathaway, I can't wait to see you again. If you're this charming while tired and annoyed and this gorgeous while bruised and in ski clothes, you must be devastating at your peak."
    "If by 'devastating' you mean that you should fear for your life, then yeah. You're right." I jerked open the door. "Good night, Adrian."
    "I'll see you soon."
    "Not likely. I told you, I'm not into older guys."
    I walked into the lodge. As the door closed, I just barely heard him call behind me, "Sure, you aren't.”
    Richelle Mead, Frostbite

    “I want to know how to make this girl laugh. I want to know what makes her cry. I want to know what it feels like to have her look at me as if I’m her knight in shinning armor.”

    “We kiss all the time." I clear my throat, then add, "We just...do it in private."
    "A smug expression crosses his face. "I don't buy it for a second, 'cause if you were my girlfriend and a stud like me was livin' in your house, I'd kiss you in front of the guy every chance I got as a reminder."
    "A reminder of w-w-what?"
    "That you were mine.”

    “Do you play football?' Brandon asks.
    'No.'
    'Baseball?'
    'Nope.'
    Brandon is on a roll and won't stop until he's found the answer he's looking for. 'Tennis?'
    'That would be a nada'
    'Then what sport do you play?'
    Carlos puts down his food. Oh, no. He's got a rebellious gleam in his eye as he says, 'The horizontal tango.'
    ...Alex stands and says through chlenched teeth, 'Carlos let's talk. In private. Ahora.'
    ....Brandon turns to my dad with big, innocent eyes. 'Daddy, do you know how to do the horizontal tango?”

    “Listen Chica-" Carlos says when we're driving to my mom's store
    "don't call me that anymore" I tell him
    "what do you want me to call you, then?"
    I shrug "whatever. Just not Chica"
    Carlos holds his hand up "what do you want me from me? You want me to tell you lies? Okay. Kara, without you i'm nothin'. Kara, you own my heart and soul. Kara,, i love you. Is that what you to hear?
    "yes"
    "No guy who actually says those things really mean them"
    "I bet your brother says them to Brittney and means them"
    "that's because he's lost all common sense. I though you the one girl who didn't fall for my bull"
    "I don't. Consider my wanting you as my real boyfriend a lapse of judgement," I tell him "But i'm over it”

    “He opens his window and motions for me to open mine. When I do, he tries to say something. His voice barely carries through the sound of the rain coming down hard between us.

    I lean out the car window. "What?" 

    He leans out his window, meeting me halfway. We're both wet and soaked, but neither of us seems to care. "Don't run away from me when I need to tell you somethin' important."

    "What?" I say, hoping he doesn't notice the tears running down my face, and praying they're getting mixed up with the rain. 

    "Tonight was . . . well, it was perfect for me, too. You've turned my world upside down. I've fallen in love with you, chica, and it scares the fuckin' shit outta me. I've been shakin' all night, because I knew it. I've tried to deny it, to make you think I wanted you as a fake girlfriend, but that was a lie." 

    "I love you, Kiara," he says before his lips move forward and meet mine.”

    “You're beautiful and sad," I said finally, not looking at him when I did. "Just like your eyes. You're like a song that I heard when I was a little kid but forgot I knew until I heard it again." For a long moment there was only the whirring sound of the tires on the road, and then Sam said softly, "Thank you.”
    Maggie Stiefvater, Shiver

    “You two are too cute,” the counter girl said, setting two cups piled with whipped cream on the counter. She had a sort of lopsided, open smile that made me think she laughed a lot. “Seriously. How long have you been going out?”
    Sam let go of my hands to get his wallet and took out some bills. “Six years.”
    I wrinkled my nose to cover a laugh. Of course he would count the time that we’d been two entirely different species.
    Whoa.” Counter girl nodded appreciatively. “That’s pretty amazing for a couple your age."
    Sam handed me my hot chocolate and didn’t answer. But his yellow eyes gazed at me possessively—I wondered if he realized that the way he looked at me was far more intimate than copping a feel could ever be.
    I crouched to look at the almond bark on the bottom shelf in the counter. I wasn’t quite bold enough to look at either of them when I admitted, “Well, it was love at first sight.”
    The girl sighed. “That is just so romantic. Do me a favor, and don’t you two ever change. The world needs more love at first sight.”

    “I fell for her in summer, my lovely summer girl,
    From summer she is made, my lovely summer girl,
    I’d love to spend a winter with my lovely summer girl,
    But I’m never warm enough for my lovely summer girl,
    It’s summer when she smiles, I’m laughing like a child,
    It’s the summer of our lives; we’ll contain it for a while
    She holds the heat, the breeze of summer in the circle of her hand
    I’d be happy with this summer if it’s all we ever had.”

    “As the hours crept by, the afternoon sunlight bleached all the books on the shelves to pale, gilded versions of themselves and warmed the paper and ink inside the covers so that the smell of unread words hung in the air.”

    “One thousand ways to say good-bye
    One thousands ways to cry
    One thousand ways to hang your hat before you go outside
    I say good-bye good-bye good-bye
    I shout it out so loud
    Cause the next time that I find my voice I might not remember how.”
    Maggie Stiefvater, Linger

    “Some days seem to fit together like a stained glass window. A hundred little pieces of different color and mood that, when combined, create a complete picture.”
