“I met you soon after and i could never think of touching anyone else.”

“I would never touch anyone else again without thinking about her.”

“He touched you-Noah. He saw your scars, didn't flinch, and then he touched them.""I'm going to sound like a real dick, but i wouldn't have been able to do that. Touch them or pretend they weren't there. I thought i could, but...”

“Sleep, Echo. I'm right here and i swear i'll never let anyone hurt you again.”

“I have never wanted anyone like I want you. There’s nothing you can do wrong when just breathing makes everything right.”

“I won't tell anyone, Echo. I promise." Noah tucked a curl behind my ear. It had been so long since someone touched me like he did. Why did it have to be Noah Hutchins? His dark brown eyes shifted to my covered arms. "You didn't do that-did you? It was done to you?" No one ever asked that question. They stared. They whispered. They laughed. But they never asked.”

“Echo, how could you think I would leave you? How can you doubt how I feel?”
