Vol I Quotes

“Are you scared?” He taunted, an amused smirk lifting the corner of his mouth.

I raised my chin a fraction. “No. I…just…I haven’t ridden a horse before.”

He leaned forward and patted the horse’s neck. “Prism is gentle. You have my word.”

I wasn’t worried about the horse. “And you?”

Ry shrugged, his facial expression remained shuttered. “I’d never make that a personal promise, but I will get you to a phone.”

“Christ, Heather, I know what I look like. And you’re…” His words dropped off lifting a hand towards me and looked away.

I folded my arms in front of me. “I’m what? I’m nothing but an ex-fat child who’s completely familiar with self-esteem issues–don’t kid a kidder, Ry, I’m not perfect either.” Thoughts of my tantalizing stretch marks flitted through my mind. Yeah I’m far from perfect.

His amazing green eyes flipped back to me, a wary pain etched in his face. “So, I’m to believe you’re not repulsed by the sight of me?”

“He cupped my face between his hands. "Is it because Mac’s good looking to a fault, damned bastard or because I’m a moron, and read the signals wrong?" He steamrolled ahead before I could respond. "I get it, I’m the beast of jackass past and present, but I’m sure I didn’t read you wrong, Heather. Fuck..." Ry closed his eyes in pain.

Oh no, he’s doubting himself and me all because I didn’t follow my self-guided principles of right and wrong. "Kiss me," I whispered.”

“Whenever thy soul is truly humbled in the sense of sin, look not p 358 at sin in thy conscience (thy conscience is a bed for another to lodge in), but at Christ. If thou be a broken-hearted sinner, see thy sins in Christ thy Saviour taken away; see what he hath endured and suffered for them; see not the law in thy conscience, but see it discharged by Christ; see death disarmed through him, and made an entrance into a better life for thee. Whatsoever is ill, see it in Christ before thou seest it in thyself; and when thou beholdest it there, see not only the hurt thereof taken away, but all good made over to thee; for ‘all things work together for the best to them that love God,’ Rom. 8:28. The devil himself, death, sin, and wrath, all help the main; the poison and mischief of all is taken away by Christ, and all good conveyed to us in him. We have grace answerable to his grace. He is the first seat of God’s love, and it sweetens whatever mercy we enjoy, that it comes from the fountain, God the father, through Christ unto us. I beseech you embrace the comfort that the Holy Ghost affords us from these sweet considerations.”
