Amie Knight Quotes

I'd never seen the man smile in the month he'd been living next door to me and for some reason that made me all the hotter for him. He owned that scowl. He freaking rocked it.

She was the shining light in all of my grim days since my mom had passed.
And I'd never give her up. I'd swim and drown. I'd jump and I'd fall. I'd try and I'd fail. But I'd just keep going. For her. Because Ella was my everything even when I felt like I had nothing.

You and I, Liv? We're just not written in the stars," I choked out the lie. It left a horrible taste in my mouth.
But she had an answer for everything. "Then we'll rewrite them.

The drums give life to music. And the heart, it's the music of life.

Kelly was back. Only she was different and so was I, and for fuck's sake, I was supposed to save her baby's life. She was just another patient's mother, or at least that's what I told myself. But I knew better; she was the one who got away. The one I'd let get away. It had been a mistake.

She was mine. She'd been mine since I was nineteen years old. And I still couldn't let her go. She'd still be mine when I was ninety, too.

You could have any girl in the world."
He laid his forehead to my right temple, his hands still held to the sides of my face delicately, and whispered right into the shell of my hear, "But I don't want just any girl, Hazel." He leaned in even closer until his lips were a breath away from mine. "I want you.

I wanted his hushed conversations, his stories that transported me to another place. A place where homeless girls didn't live in train stations. A place where there wasn't hunger or cold. A place only my cowboy had taken me. I needed to figure out how to get there, and I needed more info on Cole to do that.

We're gonna be fine as long as we stick together." She ran her hands through my hair and I closed my eyes. I fucking melted.
"It's you and me, Nova. You and me against the world.

Cole'd been eating his Wheaties or drinking the hell out of some milk, because my cowboy had turned into...well, a cowman. And I wasn't the least bit made about it.

I could still feel it, though. That inevitable pull between Luk and me. It had always been there, the undercurrent of us being something more. And now was no exception. It was there whether I liked it or not. Just like always.

Have I ever once let you fall?"
Her tender gaze fell on mine, years of friendship swirling in their brown depths. "Never.

I should have known it was going to happen. After all, she'd stolen my heart in just one night years ago. It shouldn't have been a surprise, her ability to totally obliterate my soul. And she had, a little at a time, day by day, until she owned me.

Every minute I'd spent waiting for Hazel had been worth it. I would've waited a thousand times over to experience this.

No regrets, only happiness.

She was fearless and brazen and wonderful. And she was mine if I wanted her. I didn't deserve her.

It wasn't that I was playing for a mediocre football team or that I'd had to uproot my life. I'd do it again in a skinny minute for Ella. It was that Ella was floundering and I had no fucking idea how to fix it. She was breaking my damn heart.

You're my best friend in the world. You're my everything. You're my Mae.

I didn't know how to stop loving her, but I didn't know how to love her anymore, either.

I was tearing down walls and feeling damn good about it. I had a feeling I was pretty close to getting a kiss, too. I'd never been this excited for a simple kiss, but I guess that was what happened when the woman you were falling for all over again withheld something you really fucking wanted. And I wanted her kiss like I wanted my next breath.

Sunshine, I'm going to kiss you. I can't stop. I know it will change everything. But I can't not kiss you. Not for one more minute.

It's always been you, Ainsley. For me, it's always been you.

I should have known I'd never be able to come home and not have her. Not want her. She was in my blood. In my soul. Livingston had been my one for as long as I could remember. And now as a grown woman she was impossibly more beautiful, more honest, more everything. More her. I didn't know how I'd survived the years without her.

I laid my forehead to hers, breathing hard. Fuck, I wanted her. I wanted her more than anything in the entire world. "'I'm not good for you, baby. I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know what this thing is between us. I just know I don't want it to stop.

His baby sister had hit the jackpot with his one. Because as far as I could figure, there probably wasn't anything in the world better than being unconditionally loved by Lukas Callihan.

My memories of her were laced with lust, heat, laughter, and something on the cusp of young love. She remembered the ending. Not the beginning or all the good stuff in between. It was my fault.

I thought my life was full. But in that moment, I was acutely aware of how wrong I'd been. I'd been missing her all these years and didn't even realize it.

She thought I didn't remember her. The truth was, I couldn't forget her.

I never expected you to willingly leave me, Ainsley. You weren't supposed to do that. You were supposed to be there for me like you'd been for ten damn years. I couldn't fucking come after you because you'd crushed me. I couldn't come to you after that. I still can't. I'm still too damn hurt.

You're still a fucking wreck, and it kills me that, even as shattered as you are right now, I still want you more than my next breath. Because I can see through all of this shit you try to cover up with. I see through straight to the heart of you. Straight to my Ainsley . The girl who rescued me time and time again as a kid. And I can't help but still fucking love her. And I hate myself for it.
