“Wilson, think of this as the beginning. Not the end.”
“There are a ton of reasons why I shouldn’t be with you, but none are convincing enough to keep me from being here, tonight.”
“Is this how you see me – as your government teacher? Because if I saw you as a student I wouldn’t be here right now. When I look at you I see the girl I want to be with. Have since the first day you walked into my room.”
“His career, my education, his freedom, my innocence…all tied together in a nice little package of morality.”
“I stood watching the warm glow of light pouring through the glass of the front door. stared at my hand as I clutched the frigid knob and wondered if, by opening it, I’d be stepping into a situation that would heal my heart or shatter it completely.”
“I don’t want to ever have to imagine a moment without you next to me ever again.”
“I loved him so much, more than any moment or event could ever render. He was my air, my water, my blood pumping through my veins. I gave him every hidden spoke in my wheel. Every little thing that meant anything to me was nothing compared to him. To see him in so much pain cracked my soul.”
“It was perfect. You took me to a place where I didn’t have to worry about being healed or fixed. It wasn’t about that. We experienced something nobody will ever be able to touch or take away. What you gave me I will cherish for as long as I live.”
“When everything in my gut is telling me it’s right, how can it be wrong?”
“Yeah, well, if it wasn’t your birthday and I wasn’t so madly in love with you-” his voice trailed off…”
“Well, put it this way--I don't want to ever imagine a moment without you next to me ever again.”
“Max ran his fingers across his temple as he tugged his hair away from his bottomless, green eyes. I was so caught in his web. He could devour me and there was nothing I would do to stop him. I couldn't flutter free or escape the trance he had over me.”
“Frickin' hit me with the speeding car, now. Take away my intense craving to force myself against him and taste his lips.”
“We all have skeletons in our closets. Some of us are just better at hiding them behind the hangers filled with clothes." "Yeah, right, you don't seem like the type of guy who has a pile of femur bones stuffed behind your collared shirts and navy blue blazers." Nick and Wilson”
“It hasn't been just a weekend for me, Wilson. I've wanted you for so long. I fought off the thoughts every day, exhausting every option to keep you off my mind; I can't do it anymore. I want you right here.”
