“If it was anyone, it would’ve been you.
It was you from the moment we met.”


STOP IT IM SOBBING MY EYES OUT

“I knew she’d poison me in the end. She warned me a hundred times, but I didn’t listen. My lungs are so full of her, there’s no more room to inhale.” — Alex about Ophelia

I’m bawling my eyes out

oh this author is so evil

“Let’s go home,” he whispers.
“Home?”
Each gentle kiss on my hair mends another crack in my heart. “Wherever you want, love. It’s home if we’re there.”

ill sob

“So what does this make us? Study buddies that bury bodies together?”
I can’t fight my smile. That feels like a lifetime ago. “The day I bury a body with you, Alex, is the day I’ve lost my mind.”
He flutters long, black lashes at me. “You lost your mind, angel?”
“I lost it the day I got into your car.”
His grin pulls in his dimples. “Really? I think I found mine that day.”

my babies😭😭

“So what does this make us? Study buddies that bury bodies together?”
I can’t fight my smile. That feels like a lifetime ago. “The day I bury a body with you, Alex, is the day I’ve lost my mind.”

😭😭

“Cool. Cool, cool. Nice. Good for you, I mean. Get in there, man.”

IM CACKLING
shes so awkward and relatable

“Then I’ll love you with the same intensity that you hate me. I’ll hold on to you just as hard as you push me away. I’ll fix you like you’re fixing me. I’ll always be here, Ophelia, I’ll sit at the bottom of valleys and stand on the top of mountains with you. We’re too good not to work.” — Alex to Ophelia

😭😭😭 my heart

“You make me finally understand what people mean when they say life isn’t long enough.” — Alex to Ophelia

😭😭😭 my heart

“Give me until midnight. For my own sanity, let yourself be loved until midnight.”
I surrender myself to his stupid plan. “Midnight.”
“Midnight, a hundred years from now.”

😭😭😭 babies

“Ophelia is my deadly nightshade. She’s bad for me. I know what she’ll do to me, but she’s too beautiful. Too enticing. She’s too deep in my bloodstream already, painful and ecstatic all at once.”

UNTIL MIDNIGHT😭😭😭

“Ophelia feels like finding another human after months in the desert. A light permeating the thick black cloud. When my wayward mind wanders, it staggers back home to her. 
She’s everything I’ve been asking the universe for, and she fucking hates me.”

im sobbing

“You occupy my mind. 
Those stupid crosswords. You’re those for me. You’re the cage for my thoughts.”

the flipping crosswords😭😭😭

“I cope with the stress of life by clinging to one thing all the time. It was drinking, then it was smoking, then it was running, drawing, working. Now, I think it might be her.”

“I drink in every minute detail like I’m dying and she’s the cure. Somewhere in the last few days, I’ve ventured so far into denial that I’m out the other side.”

“Nine letters. First letter U. I’m not wearing any.”
“Two words. Five and six. First letters H and A.
I’m about to have one.”

I love their crossword bit

“I’m just dying to know the reason you are lying beneath me right now.”
“Can you shift to the right a bit? You’re right on my fucking lungs.”
“In the nineteen times it’s happened in my head, my first time on top of you didn’t look like this.”

“He didn’t deserve it.”
“The date?”
“The dress.”

😭😭😭

I love their little crossword thing

“Because for some reason, I’m willing to be your alibi.”

Alex I love you

“So what are we now? Study buddies who bury bodies together?”
“What? The day I bury a body with you is the day I lose my mind.”

“So what are we now? Study buddies who bury bodies together?”
“What? The day I bury a body with you is the day I lose my mind.”

“I wasn’t always close to them—geographically, that is, thanks to their jobs at Sorrowsong—but they were always on the other end of a string. If I tugged it hard enough, they’d be there. If I tied a paper cup to each end, they’d be listening on the other side. When it felt like the world was crumbling, they’d stick it back together again with homemade apple pies and weekend camping trips.”

sobs

“Alex?”
“Doing a tremendous job of convincing me you’re not obsessed with me, Twist. Do you shout my name in your dreams, too?”
“Only when it’s a nightmare.”
“So I’m on your mind.”

Gosh I love them already
