“I don't want you to ever doubt how much I love you, how much I want you, how much I need you.”

“When you walked into my life, I felt an immediate connection to you. I thought it meant we were destined to work together, but it was more, so much more than I ever expected. One minute you were a friend, and then the next I couldn't stop thinking about you. I wanted to be with you every minute of every day. I wanted to know everything about you. I wanted to hold you in my arms and look into your beautiful blue eyes and tell you how you'd stolen my heart.”

“All I could really think was how much I wanted to sleep. How much I wanted to be in a different world other than the one I was in.”

“Don’t make it a challenge. You know how much I like those.”

“Change: How much do you want it? Change: How much do you need it?”

“Fuck, Avery. You think I don't want you? There's not a single part of you that I don't want, you understand? I want to be on you and inside of you. I want you against the wall, on the couch, in your bed, in my bed, and every fucking place I can possibly think of, and trust me, I have a vast imagination when it comes to these kinds of things. Don't ever doubt that I want you. That is not what this is about.”

“Our evening-long tango of stares had my head spinning.”
