“Severine was a greedy, selfish person. She wanted everything. Right now, sitting here with Thayer, she wanted to keep this moment forever. Nothing gave her the right to desire it so much.”

“Not bad? The hot Calvin Klein models we taped in our lockers in high school were not bad."Lily inclined her head in Thayer's direction."That's look-at-the-sky-and-scream, 'Thank you God', as loud as you can!”

“Looking at him made things worse. It wrapped her closer to him and made her want to drag in every breath of air that specifically made him Thayer.”

“When he left her room tonight, she wanted his preference to be only her. His hands would only want her skin. He'd only fit perfectly with Severine.”

“But this feeling with him...Severine closed her eyes and drank the moment in. Some things didn't come naturally for Severine. Yet, right now, it all flowed perfectly. This moment was written before it had ever begun. It was meant for her.”

“Severine pulls the ugly out of me. Emilia pulls everything out of me, and finds it all good— even the ugly side.”
