“Given the choice between eating this cupcake or watching Ryan Gosling and Jon Hamm wrestle each other for the privilege of having sex with me, I’d choose the cupcake.”

“What are their names? Psycho and Killer?"He shook his head. "Cupcake and Twinkie."My mouth dropped open. "You're kidding."A grin flitted across his lips. "Afraid not."If naming them after dessert snacks had been Miss Marva's attempt to make them seem cute, it wasn't working.”

“You seem to think you have a choice," Cam said. "But you have it backwards. Love chooses you. The shadow moves as the sun commands.”

“You've always asked me to wait, as if we had time in abundance. But time is too precious, Perry. We've wasted years, when we could have been with each other. Don't you understand how much even one day of loving each other is worth? Some people are separated by distances they can never cross. All they can do is dream about each other for a lifetime, never having what they want most. How foolish, how wasteful to have love within your reach and not take it!"
