    “Fiction should be a place of lollipops and escape. Real life is depressing enough--I, for one, don't want to read about make believe misery, too.”

    “I thrust the picture at his chest. He takes it and squints at it in the softening light. Then his eyes widen. "Holy shit," he breathes. "Is this the girl that ate you?"

    "Ha, no. You're funny." I snatch my picture back. "So I was super fat. It's my father's fault. He never hugged me."

    "So, what, you ate him?”

    “I keep thinking it's going to come back when I least expect it. When I'm at my happiest. So I'm always afraid to be happy."
    Zane looks out at the horizon. "You know, there are so many things that can go wrong in this world, you could spend your whole life worrying about them and forget to appreciate every moment you have with someone. Then, you're like, 'God, why wasn't I thankful for what I had when I had it?'" He glances over at me. "You know what the secret to a happy life is?" I shake my head, silent tears falling down my cheeks.
    He squeezes my hand. "No regrets. Just live in the moment.”

    “The next night I walk in on Zane just coming out of the shower. He's wearing nothing but a towel knotted low around his waist. Beads of water slide down his tanned muscles, from his chest down to the fascinating ridges along his hips..

    Don't worry, I handle it well. I scream "Ewww" and run from the room.

    No, I really did. I walked into that room and saw the hottest, sexiest guy I've ever seen - wet and half naked. And I said, "Ewww."

    I know. How am I still single, right?”

    “You’re one crazy S.O.B. You stole her right from under the guy she was with,” he whispered in awe. “I can’t believe you got her to go out with you. How’d you do that?”
    “I paid attention to what was going on around me, which is what you need to do. Then you’ll start seeing the things you’re missing.”
    “I have no idea what you mean, but feel free to teach me, Master Obi-Wan.”
    I snorted and Cami looked at me. I smiled and she gave me a shy one back before turning toward the screen again.”

    “You deserve it all - the candlelight, roses, and romance. There's no need for you to rush. The right guy will always wait for you to truly be ready. He should honour you, worship you, and make it a moment for you to remember forever.”

    I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control

    Steve Jobs
    “Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
