Kaely And Noah Quotes

“She reached down and brushed a stray lock of hair off his forehead. She'd done it before and he liked it.”
― Nancy Mehl, Dead End

“His goal had been to protect his own heart before her recklessness cost her life, but he didn't want to hurt her. Last night he'd finally been honest with himself. It was already too late. His connection to Kaely was too powerful. He'd lost the ability to walk away. He was hopelessly in love with her.”
― Nancy Mehl, Dead End

“Noah got to his feet. Then he pulled her up and kissed her like she'd never been kissed before.”
― Nancy Mehl, Dead End

“Yes, I am. And I must be addicted to you. I'm so glad to see you.”
― Nancy Mehl, Dead End

“Kaely hurried out to her car. She really was delighted to see him. And frankly, it worried her.”
― Nancy Mehl, Dead End

“Before she realized what she was doing, she bent down and lightly kissed him.”
― Nancy Mehl, Dead End

“The urge to kiss him was strong. Instead, she patted his unwrapped shoulder. "Be good," she said, her voice husky. Before she said or did anything embarrassing, she left the room, almost running into a woman carrying a tray into Noah's room. Kaely apologized and hurried down the hall. She was having feelings for Noah she couldn't handle. She wanted him in her life, but things couldn't go on like this. They just couldn't. Her job was everything to her, and she couldn't allow anything to get in the way. Even Noah.”
― Nancy Mehl, Dead End

“Noah was quiet, and Kaely snuck another look at him. His expression was taut and his lips were thinned.
"You're really hurting, aren't you?"
"It's not that, Kaely."
"Then what is it?"
"You did it again. You put yourself in danger."
She was startled by the anger in his voice. "Like I said, I wanted to make sure Jack incriminated himself. Then when Sam started to confess-"
"Stop it," Noah barked. "Just stop it."
"I don't understand."
"Yes, you do. We've been over this and over this. You're reckless with your life. You take chances you don't have to. Josh said the same thing, that you should have signaled him earlier. I blame him too. He was in charge. He should have gotten you out of there before things went so far, but in the end, the fault lies with you."
Kaely didn't know what to say. Noah had never been this angry with her before.
"I don't know if I can work with you anymore."
Kaely couldn't believe her ears.
"I'm saying that I care about you. I can't stand by and watch you kill yourself. I won't."
Kaely felt as if her whole body had suddenly grown cold. "Noah, please. We can work this out. You're the only person in the world I trust."
"Trust?" His laugh was bitter and shocked her.
"Yes, I trust you."
"Okay, Kaely. Who is the friend who helped you? The only who tried to steer you in the right direction? As far as I know, the only people who knew what was going on besides me were Josh, Jason, and Tuck. Oh, and Sam, but it couldn't have been him."
Kaely hesitated as she wrestled with what to say. Suddenly the image of the kiss she gave Noah in the hospital popped into her mind. She couldn't lose him. She just couldn't.”
