“I just... I can't share you. The thought of you with him, it kills me, now more than it ever did before. I need you. All of you. - Thoughtless”

“I didn't think I'd ever be done kissing him”

“I need you. Let me do this. I can make you forget him. I can make you forget you.”

“Everything about him had screamed, I"m going to take you right here and make you foreget your own name.”

“I actually took a step back as each of their eyes met mine. Evan's was sympathetic; that scared me. Matt's was appraising; that concerned me. Griffins's was irritated; that...was really nothing new.”

“Sometimes family was the cruelest form of love there was, for no one could hurt you more than the people who created you.”

“you were watching me? ceaselessly”

“Can you lose something that was never yours to begin with?" - Keira”

“It was like we were both trying to hold onto something that was slipping through our fingers, and we didn't understand why. I understood more than him, of course, but just barely. I would never fully understand how I could have ever strayed from such a warm, sensitive and caring soul.”

“It was heartfelt, it was heartbreaking. It was extreme joy, it was bone-crushing grief. It was fiery hot, it was icy-cold. It was true love sprouting... it was true love dying.It's like we were both trying to hold onto something that was slipping through our fingers, and we didn't understand why.”

“And of course, the one that I really wanted to see, stayed completely hidden away from me and I let him even though it kind of killed me.”

“Uh, Anna?" Stepping back from her, he poked a finger into her stomach. "What happened to you?" Anna batted his hand away, her lips tightening in a classic, hormonal mood swing. "You happened to me...ass hat.”

“I’mnot a monster, Kiera.”

“I'll have a Denver omelet...thank you.”

“Don't leave me," I begged, when I found air to speak. Kellan wrapped his arms around me just as tight. Voice cracking he murmured, "I won't...I'm yours, Kiera, for as long as you want me." Pulling back I cupped his face. "Forever, I want you forever.”

“I'll still be with you every night, Kiera. Every night, no matter where I am, crawling into bed with you. Our bed will be a lot bigger, miles wide, but it will just be you and me inside it.”

“I know that I have to be with you. Everything else is just...details.”

“Between pants, I continued spewing how much I hated him. Around my lips, he kept telling me I didn't.”

“I don't know how to let you back in." My heart beat spiked and I closed my eyes when he whispered," I don't know how to keep you out either.”

“No time spent with you is wasted.”

“I know there's something here. I know you want more. Tell me...and it's yours.”

“That’s the spirit. Now the next time you say it, say it without looking like your puppy just died.”

“A few months after Julian was safe and sound, Hot Ben kidnapped Tracey. Well, okay, technically he swept her away to Mexico, where they eloped. He just didn’t want to wait anymore. I understood. A lot can happen while you’re waiting. Being the romantic that I always knew he could be, Ben didn’t tell her about it either.”

“You don't suck another person's sucker uninvited.”

“but what it all boils down to is three words that don’t mean nearly enough… I love you.”

“She is a vampire, as are we all, and she needs this. Either deal with it, right now, or leave this room.”

“He was back to ogling Halina, who played with a strand of her wildly free hair and gave him a look that clearly said, 'I have chains in my room, wanna see?”

“I didn't actally sleep naked. Not unless he was there to put me to bed that way.”

“You wouldn't think sex could actally be a workout, but if done right...”

“Nothing in the world was as beautiful to me as that tattoo, except the man bearing it.”

“And he was the reason I felt it. His gaze, his touch, his smile, his laugh, no one had ever made me feel... worshiped... quite like he did.”

“There were so many secrets between us now, it was hard remembering a time when things had been simple & easy, when it had felt like pure puppy love. I suppose all love eventually comes back down to earth.”

“I need you to be there when I die"...... "I need your face to be the last thing my human eyes see.”

“How we got together, the lies, the betrayals.. we doomed ourselves before we even started." He shook his head. "We love each other so much... and we don't trust each other at all.”

“It's okay... it will be okay. You're just young. Your'e young and inexperienced, and Kellan is hotter than all fuck.”

“He said I was his heart, and you don’t leave your heart behind. You can’t live without your heart.”

“I think in the end, you would have stayed with me, out of obligation...or maybe comfort. Maybe I was safe to you, and you needed to feel that. I know how scared you get of the unknown. To you...I must be kind of a security blanket.”

“I know...and I love you. But I don't think we love each other in the same way. And...I think keeping you near me, would destroy me.”

“Where do we go from here?"-Kiera"We go nowhere."-Denny”

“The Headlights lit the path we were traveling down, but only so far. After that, the world was dark and empty, full of possibility and uncertainty...much like the paths of our own lives.”

“Dude, he's Australian...not a pirate.”

“God, you're sucking all the fun out of our friendship.”

“But, if for some reason we're not closer, if something has gotten between us, please, I'm begging you…don't give up on me. Stay. Stay with me. Work it out with me. Just don't leave me…please.”

“Loving you, Kellan, is so easy, it's effortless."His smile matched mine, then I frowned and sighed "Trusting you...that's the hard part”

“They’re promise rings,” he whispered. Picking up the woman’s, he lifted my right hand. Sliding it on my finger, he softly said, “You wear one,” he slipped the man’s on the ring finger of his right hand, “and I wear one.”

“He nodded and leaned down to kiss me. I let him, Dad be damned.”

“Ethics and I had crossed paths recently, and I’m not sure that I fell on the right side of the morality line.”

“Do you really think anyone in this world, compares to you in my eyes?”

“In my most menacing tone, I firmly told her, “I will drag your sleeping ass out into the sun, if you so much as drop a fang at my sister. Play nice.”

“I love you more. I love you enough to let you go and live your dream." I tilted my head and shrugged. "Don't you see....? I love you more."He smiled softly and I brushed some hair off his forehead. Running the backs of my fingers down his cheek, I whispered, "And, yes, I will miss you, more than you could possibly imagine, but I know that you have to do this Kellan. And you know it too."Stubbornly he shook his head. "No, I know that I have to be with you. Everything else is just .... details.”
