Cole And Nikki Quotes

“Cole: " There's the old Nik. No 'how do you do', no talk of the weather. Just a good swift kick to the balls."

Nikki: "A kick to your balls is an option?”
― Brodi Ashton, Everbound

“What? What do you want?"
"You, Nik." Cole took a couple of deep breaths. "I want you. Whether we take over the throne or not. I want you in my life, and the only way that will happen is if you become like me. We shared a heart, Nik." He touched his finger to my heart. "Your heart is in me now."
"Not my heart. Just some of my emotions."
"Same thing. It belongs to me. And so I belong to you.”
― Brodi Ashton, Everneath

“.."Find something that reminds you of Jack..."

"Like what?"

"The two of you were lovey-dovey. Didn't he ever give you.. I don't know... a heart shaped locket necklace?"

"No."

"A teddy? With a T-shirt that says I LOVE YOU BEARY MUCH?

I rolled my eyes. "No. He wasn't like that.”

“I would never kiss you!" The siren's screech brought me back to the Everneath, and I drew away from Cole.

He had a devilish grin on his face, and he turned toward the siren. "I know. But the real Nik would - if it was to save my life." He looked back at me. "Hey, Nik.”

“You're not bringing guitar?" I said. I barely saw him without it.

Max and Cole both looked at me with alarmed expressions.
"No," Cole said. "I don't want to die.”

“... I'd never look at a pick again without wondering if it was Cole's heart.
He cocked an eyebrow. "But the look in your eyes was murderous. Do you have a thing against guitar picks, or we're you hoping I'd be stupid enough to still carry my heart around with me?”

“How come you" - I gasped - "recovered so quickly?"

"I dove."

"What?"

"I don't know how I knew. I think I heard lapping water or something right before we hit. So I twisted around and dove. Whereas you went flat as a pancake on your back."

"You could've told me."

"Yeah, because there was plenty of time for that," he said sarcastically.”

“Well, what if he's... old? He's been down here for years. What if he's ninety?" Cole's voice sounded very pleased at the notion.

"I wouldn't care," I said.

"Oh, you wouldn't care if you brought Jack all the way home from the tunnels only to end up sending him off to a rest home? You'd be fine spoon-feeding him mashed peas as long as the two of you were together?"

I grimaced. "Believe it or not, I would. As long as I had him back."

"Kinky." Cole smirked.”

“Good. While you're playing nurse to Cole, tell us another story about Jack. We need to get your tether back."

....

''What should I talk about?''

Cole looked at me with a suddenly hopeful face.

'' Was there ever a time when he didn't resemble a white knight? That would be great about now ”
― Brodi Ashton, Everbound

“Stop looking at it," Cole commanded. "Focus on walking."

I turned to face him and he raised an eyebrow at my appearance. "What is it?" I said.

He bit his lip. "It's okay. I always thought you should have short hair."

My hand flew up to the side of my head. I felt brittle, curly strands that fell away as I touched them.”
