Green Valley Quotes

“To both of our surprises, I gripped her closer and squeezed her until she relaxed back into my arms. "Don't apologize for feeling things freely. Just because I'm bad at it, doesn't mean I don't envy it."
She sniffled and looked up at me. She shook her head and frowned. "Your issue is not that you don't feel, Ford. Your issue is that you feel too much." She smiled and put her head back on my racing heart.”

“I was transfixed. It wasn’t just the way she mastered the room. It wasn’t just how her choreography perfectly correlated with the entrancing music. It wasn’t just her sex appeal. It was that unwavering gaze and focus on her task. To the rest of the room, staring blatantly at her admirable- ahem-assets, she was an object, but I recognize the barely controlled passion rolling under her skin. What would it be like to be that strong? Not just physically, but strong in a way that allowed her to bare her soul to a group of greedy strangers. My passions were locked away safely inside me and yet she had put it all out there. Such bravery and passion.”

“I think you look very...sufficient."
"You can do better than that Ford." She frowned.
I squeezed my fists and on a whoosh of breath said, "You take my breath away every time I look at you." I gently shut the door and jogged around to the driver's side.
I started the car and pulled into the street without a glance in her direction.
After a few minutes, she relaxed back against the seat. "You don't look so bad yourself.”
