The wolves knew when it was time to stop looking for what they'd lost, to focus instead on what was yet to come.

What being home-schooled has taught me, more than anything, is what a waste of a life high school is.

I have loved before, but it didn’t feel like this. I have kissed before, but it didn’t burn me alive. Maybe it lasts a minute, and maybe it’s an hour. All I know is that kiss, and how soft her skin is when it brushes against mine, and that, even if I did not know it until now, I have been waiting for this person forever.

Sometimes I think the human heart is just a simple shelf. There is only so much you can pile onto it before something falls off an edge and you are left to pick up the pieces.

Like Connor, Alex protected me -and he was the only person I let close enough to do it. Like Connor, Alex could finish my sentences before I did. But unlike Connor, for whom I had ultimately come too late, I was just in time to take care of Alex.

The saddest day in the world will be the one when she stops pretending.

I wonder if the conversations you've never had with someone count, if you've been over them a thousand times in your mind.
