“He would kiss me, right now, after everything I'd done. I was poison, and Noah was the drug that would make me forget it.”

“I was poison, and Noah was the drug that would made me forget it.”

“I knew one hundred little things about Noah Shaw but when he kissed me I couldn't remember my own name.”

“What would you do if I kissed you right now?"I stared at his beautiful face and his beautiful mouth and I wanted nothing more than to taste it. "I would kiss you back.”

“Fix me," I commanded him. "This thing, what I've done - there's something wrong with me, Noah. Fix it."Noah's expression broke my heart as he brushed my hair from my face, and skimmed the line of my neck. "I can't""Why not?"

“Noah started this chase and I stood before him, waiting to be caught. He could have me, but he refused to move.Only now did I realize why.He wanted to be caught. He was waiting for me to chase him.”

“I knew Noah worshipped Charlie Parker and that his toothbrush was green. That he wouldn't bother to button his shirts correctly but always made his bed.

I knew one hundred little things about Noah Shaw but when he kissed me I couldn't remember my own name.”
