Roommates To Lovers Quotes

“Saying she got under my skin wouldn’t even cut it. She lived
there. Rent-free, lights on, feet on the coffee table, sipping her Sencha
green tea, enjoying one of her books. It wasn’t a crush or anything

“But how do you get someone out of your system when she’s woven into it? We were fifteen when I first saw her and she never once left my head since. No matter how far our roads strayed from each other, how many distractions I found, she was always there, comfortably taking up more and more space. How do you get away from that?

“I couldn’t remember being hugged like this. Like I was worth the effort. Like comforting me wasn’t an obligation the way it was with family. Like my tears weren’t an inconvenience or a childish tantrum. No one had ever embraced the parts of me I hated. The mess, the silence, the moods that came and went without warning. No one had ever looked at the disaster I was without walking away at the first opportunity. Even in the rare moments when I’d allowed someone else to see my tears, I hadn’t asked for the comfort I craved. I wanted to hide, but the truth was, I needed him right now. My body was limp against his, as if it’d already decided that this was it, this was the pillow that would soften my fall.”
― Artemis Watson, Hearts on Lease
