“He had kissed me. Put his demon tongue in my mouth. I had kissed him back. Yet I had a boyfriend. Adam. Who I believe I’ve mentioned. More than once.
Boyfriend named Adam, demon named Levi kissing me—that pretty much meant I had cheated on my boyfriend, didn’t it?
Didn’t mean to do that. Yikes.
I bit my fingernails and knocked on Brandon’s door and tried to rationalize my way around it. It hadn’t been a premeditated kiss. It hadn’t been initiated by me. Did that really make it cheating? Or just a sort of accidental meeting of the mouths?
Shouldn’t there be like a five-second rule, anyway? Like dropping food on the floor.
If you retrieve it immediately, you can still eat it. If the kiss lasted less than say, a minute, it didn’t count. Right?”

“Kat," Hale groaned, then fell back onto the pillows.
"Funny, I didn't hear a doorbell."
"I let myself in; hope that's okay."
Hale smiled. "Or the alarm."
She stepped inside, tossed a pocket-size bag of tools onto the bed.
"You're due for an upgrade."
Hale propped himself against the antique headboard and squinted up at her.
"She returns." He crossed his arms across his bare chest. "You know, I could be naked in here.”

“Je n'ai jamais osé être ce que je suis vraiment. Toujours enfermée dans ma bulle et dans ma tête, emprisonnée par mes émotions. Je n'ai peut-être jamais su qui j'étais au fond. Je n'ai jamais pris ma place, car je n'ai jamais trop su où elle était. Mais ce que je sais, c'est que je n'arrêterai jamais de la chercher. Et aujourd'hui, j'entrevois mon avenir de façon tout à fait excitante, en pensant que, quoi qu'il arrive, ma place est celle que je déciderai de prendre.”
