I loved you!โ he yelled. He jumped up out of his chair so quickly I never saw it coming. โI loved you, and you destroyed me. You took my heart and ripped it up. You might as well have staked me!โ The change in his features also caught me by surprise. His voice filled the room. So much grief, so much anger. So unlike the usual Adrian. He strode toward me, hand clasped over his chest. โI. Loved. You. And you used me the whole time.
Richelle MeadI clung to that spark of hope, nurturing it into a small flame that chased some of the shadows in my heart away.

Richelle MeadI nearly dropped the plate I held. "You've asked me out tons of times." "Not really. I've made inapproprite suggestions and frequently pushed for nudity. But I've never asked you out on a real date. And, if memory serves, you did say you'd give me a fair chance once I let you clean out my trust fund." "I didn't clean it out," I scoffed.
