Cricket Bell Quotes

“I pull back, gasping for breath. Reeling. His breath is ragged, and I place my hands on his cheeks to steady him. "Is this okay?" I whisper. "Are you okay?"

His reply is anguished. Honest. "I love you.”
― Stephanie Perkins, Lola and the Boy Next Door

“I'll only say this once more. I like you. I've always liked you. It would be wrong for me to come back into your life and act otherwise.”

“Cricket tells a joke and turns to see if I'm laughing, if I think he's funny, and I want him to know that I do think he's funny, and I want him to know that I'm glad he's my friend, and I want him to know that he has the biggest heart of anyone I've ever known. And I want to press my palm against his chest to feel it beat, to prove he's really there.
But we cannot touch.”
― Stephanie Perkins, Lola and the Boy Next Door
