“James is why I never left. I should have left.”

― Kate Avelynn, Flawed

“However he'd found his way here, it didn't matter. I knew then that the boy under the tree had to be mine. That floppy hair should be mine to touch. That big, knuckly boy hand should be mine to hold. That gruff voice should be mine to hear, and those ears should be mine to tell all my secrets to. Except for the biggest secret. That I loved him. More than the crush I was dealing with for years. More than I should've loved a best friend. More than he would ever love me back. I was gone for him.”
― Brodi Ashton, Everbound

“I’d rather freeze to death than hibernate with you.”
― Veronica Rossi, Through the Ever Night
