“I didn’t like trusting, I didn’t like setting greater than mild expectations”

“I didn’t mean to suggest there was anything wrong with Victor when we were in the garage,” he started in a growl that didn’t quite sound like an apology. “I’d trust him with your life.”“That’s reassuring,” I muttered with more than a trace of cynicism.“I just wouldn’t trust him with the rest of you.”

“I didn’t like the play, but than I saw it under adverse conditions – the curtain was up. ”

“Also, I didn’t trust any guy who used more styling products than I did.”

“And that was the unusual thing about me. Unlike pretty much every teen I knew, I liked to be doing the right thing. I didn’t like breaking rules. I didn’t like pushing the envelope. I didn’t like trespassing, or sneaking into cinemas, or buying alcohol or cigarettes. I didn’t even feel comfortable running into a cafe to use the toilet without having first bought a drink. Basically, I didn’t like to do half the things all teenagers did almost habitually.”

“I didn’t want or expect this. But I couldn’t resist you.”
