Thomas loved me. He needed me. Maybe I wasn't the first woman he'd loved, and maybe the kind of love a Maddox man felt lasted forever, but I needed him, too. I wasn't the first, but I would be the last. That didn't make me the second prize. It made me his forever. -- Jamie Mcguire

Once in the shower, I let the water run over my face, keeping my eyes closed. The delicate outlines of Abby's features were burned behind my eyelids. It wasn't the first time; I saw her every time my eyes closed. Now that she was gone, it was like being stuck in a nightmare. -- Jamie Mcguire
You just want me to hold you until you fall asleep?"

You can love someone without wanting to be with them. Just like you can want to be with someone before you love them. -- Jamie Mcguire
Abby. She's a pigeon. A demonic pigeon that fucks with my head so bad I can't think straight. Nothing makes sense anymore, Cam. Every rule I've ever made's getting broken one by one. I'm a pussy. No ... worse. I'm Shep. -- Jamie Mcguire
Pigeon," he said, panting, "it doesn't have to be tonight. I'll wait until you're ready. -- Jamie Mcguire

Abby did a little happy dance before jogging down the hall to the bedroom. The corners of my mouth turned up. What other woman would be that excited to see her boyfriend trade punches? No wonder I fell in love with her. -- Jamie Mcguire
Let's get something straight; you're not a piece of shit, you're amazing. It doesn't matter who buys me drinks, or who asks me to dance, or who flirts with me. I'm going home with you. You've asked me to trust you, and you don't seem to trust me. - Abby, Beautiful Disaster -- Jamie Mcguire

Do you trust me, Pidge?"
"Yeah, why?"
"C'mere," he said, pulling me against him. I stiffened for a second or two before resting my head on his chest. Whatever was going on with him, he needed me near him, and I couldn't have objected even if I'd wanted to. It felt right lying next to him. -- Jamie Mcguire
Money was money, but I didn't want to waste any time away from Pidge.
She was happier than I'd ever seen her, and for the first time, I felt like a normal, whole human being instead of some broken, angry man. -- Jamie Mcguire
Travis!"
"Down here, Pidge. Just come in feet first, I'll catch you."

Travis tapped my apple with his fork. "You gonna eat that, Pidge?"
"No, you can have it, Baby."
Heat consumed my ears when America's head jerked to look at me.
"It just came out," I said, shaking my head. I peeked up at Travis, whose expression was a mixture of amusement and adoration. -- Jamie Mcguire
He was the worst kind of confident. Not only was he shamelessly aware of his appeal, he was so used to women throwing themselves at him that he regarded my cool demeanor as refreshing instead of an insult. -- Jamie Mcguire
To douchebags!" he said, gesturing to Brad. "And to girls that break your heart," he bowed his head to me. His eyes lost focus. "And to the absolute fucking horror of losing your best friend because you were stupid enough to fall in love with her. -- Jamie Mcguire
A twitch. Your eyes keep wiggling around." He laughed again when I glared at him. "Those are some amazing eyes though," he said, leaning just inches from my face. "What color is that, anyway? Grey? -- Jamie Mcguire
I hung up the phone, and America glared at me. You SLEPT with him? You bitch! You weren't even going to tell me? -- Jamie Mcguire

I know we're fucked up, all right? I'm impulsive and hot-tempered, and you get under my skin like no one else. You act like you hate me one minute, and then you need me the next. I never get anything right, and I don't deserve you ... but I fucking love you. -- Jamie Mcguire
When we spend time together, I feel this peace that I don't get when you're not around. It's kind of like when you're a kid, and you put on fresh PJs after a bath and get into a made bed with clean sheets straight out of the dryer. That's what being with you feels like. -- Jamie Mcguire

"I'm trying to think of another bet. -- Jamie Mcguire
As hard as I tried to push the thought from my head, I couldn't deny that it was my plans with Travis that had brightened my mood. -- Jamie Mcguire

"I always do when I'm with you. -- Jamie Mcguire
If I had to do it all over again, I'd rather endure the pain in the beginning than have had it easy and then have it all go to shit later on. -- Jamie Mcguire

That's not true. I love you more than my life, Pigeon," he said, hurt.
"That's exactly what I mean. That's crazy talk."
"It's not crazy. It's the truth. -- Jamie Mcguire
She told me to find a girl worth fighting for. The one that doesn't come easy. -- Jamie Mcguire
I will. I've never wanted a girlfriend before, Pigeon. I'm not used to feeling this way about someone ... about anyone. If you'll be patient with me, I swear I'll get it figured out. -- Jamie Mcguire
I won't break his heart to fix you. -- Jamie Mcguire
One of these days you're going to fall in love, son. Don't settle for just anyone. Choose the girl that doesn't come easy; the one you have to fight for, and then never stop fighting. Never -- Jamie Mcguire
I ... can't go to dinner with you on Wednesday."
"It's almost four in the morning, Abby. What's going on?"
"I can't see you at all, actually."
"Abs ... "
"I'm ... pretty sure I'm in love with Travis," I said, bracing for his reaction. -- Jamie Mcguire
He was watching you walk to the apartment this morning. I find that a little predatory. Excuse the fuck out of me for wanting him to think you have a guy around. -- Jamie Mcguire
Travis took a step, but America pointed her finger at him. So help me God, Travis! If you try to stop her, I will douse you with gasoline and light you on fire while you sleep! -- Jamie Mcguire
I don't know why you put up with me, and I don't know what I'd do if you didn't. -- Jamie Mcguire
He managed a single laugh. "Who would have thought from the first time we met that we'd be sitting here? You couldn't have told me three months ago that I'd be this miserable over saying goodbye to a girl."
My stomach sank. "I don't want you to be miserable."
"Then don't go. -- Jamie Mcguire
Abs? What are you, a workout video?" he sneered.
"Pigeon?" I said with the same amount of disdain. "An annoying bird that craps all over the sidewalk?"

Shepley's girlfriend had introduced me to my very own form of crack. I couldn't get enough, and I didn't want to quit. -- Jamie Mcguire
I can't see you at all, actually. I'm . . . pretty sure I'm in love with Travis."
My whole world stopped. I tried to replay her words over. Had I heard them correctly? Did she really just say what I thought she had, or was it just wishful thinking? -- Jamie Mcguire
Would you like to make a wager on that, Abby Abernathy?" he smiled, his eyes animated. I smiled.
"I'll take that bet. I think he'll get one in on you. -- Jamie Mcguire
You're a pig."
Travis shrugged. "I've been called worse. -- Jamie Mcguire
Please?" he asked. He laughed once, nervous. "I'm in love with you"
After a long pause, I cringed at the words I was about to say. "If you knew what I know ... you wouldn't be."
He shook his head. "I don't wanna know. I just want you. -- Jamie Mcguire
Married?" Travis said, his face screwing into disgust. "What the fuck, Cami? I'm nineteen! Nobody gets married at nineteen. -- Jamie Mcguire
Who can tell me which president had a cross-eyed wife with a bad case of the uglies?" Chaney asked.
"Make sure you get that down," Travis whispered. "I'm gonna need to know that for job interviews. -- Jamie Mcguire
I cupped her cheeks in my hand. "What does this mean?"
She smiled. "It means you can stop saying you have yet another convention to go to. Some of your cover stories are downright insulting. -- Jamie Mcguire
It's just you and me against the world, Pidge. -- Jamie Mcguire

America took his face in her hands and smiled. You're an arrogant ass, but I still love you. -- Jamie Mcguire

Teach that asshole some manners."
I winked at her and smiled. "Anything for you, baby. -- Jamie Mcguire
He held the door shut with his hand. "I'll stop fighting the second I graduate. I won't drink a single drop again. I'll give you the happy ever after, Pigeon. If you just believe in me, can do it."
"I don't want you to change."
"Then tell me what to do. Tell me and I'll do it," he pleaded. -- Jamie Mcguire
Don't you remember, Travis? You ruined her sweater."
Travis smiled. "I ruin a lot of sweaters."
"Gross," I muttered. -- Jamie Mcguire
I want to remind you that I love you, and that love is unlike anything I've ever felt before. If you feel unworthy or unwanted in any way ... know that every breath you take is precious to me. -- Jamie Mcguire
Jared, thus far it's my understanding that you've been raised by a family of assassins. You've spied on me, stalked me, installed microphones in my bedroom, and confessed to falling in love with me before I could drive. If I haven't left by now, I don't think I'm going to. -- Jamie Mcguire
I don't think so, Dr. Chaney. Have you gotten a good look at my girl? -- Jamie Mcguire
Travis: Happy anniversary,Pidge.
Abby: One down, forever to go. -- Jamie Mcguire
Happy Anniversary, Pidge."
"One down, forever to go -- Jamie Mcguire

You're everything I've ever wanted, Pigeon."
"Just remember that when I take all of your money in the next poker game," I said, pulling off my shirt. -- Jamie Mcguire
It's us, Trav. Nothing makes sense unless we're together. Have you noticed that?"
"Noticed? I've been telling you that all year!" he teased. "It's official. Bimbos, fights, leaving, Parker, Vegas ... even fires ... our relationship can withstand anything. -- Jamie Mcguire
No. I don't have other plans".
"You wanna lay there and die?"
"Pretty much." I sighed -- Jamie Mcguire
Look at him," she said, shaking her head. "Travis Maddox: Mr. Mom. -- Jamie Mcguire
You're not going to say hi to Thomas?" I whispered.
He didn't look at me when he spoke, watching his family hug and laugh. "I got one night with you. I'm not going to waste a second of it. -- Jamie Mcguire
You're a pain in my ass!" he yelled, glaring at me. I couldn't stop smiling, and after a few seconds, Travis' mouth turned up. He shook his head again, and then hooked his arm around my neck. "You're making me crazy. You know that, right? -- Jamie Mcguire
I'm going to kiss you now, and I don't know if I'll ever stop. -- Jamie Mcguire
Waiting for her answer was like pulling out my fingernails one by one. -- Jamie Mcguire
I think it's pretty obvious that I don't just want you." He laughed once, nervous. "I can't stay away from you. That qualifies as need. -- Jamie Mcguire
With each passing minute, I expected her to walk away, and every minute she stayed in my arms felt like a miracle. -- Jamie Mcguire
Sometimes good-bye is a second chance. Clears your head. Anyway ... missing someone makes you remember why you loved that person in the first place. -- Jamie Mcguire
You're going to make me dance to this, aren't you?" he asked.
"It's Valentine's Day, Finch. Pretend I'm a boy."
He laughed, pulling me into his arms. "It's hard to do that when you're wearing a short pink dress."
"Whatever. Like you've never seen a boy in a dress."
Finch shrugged. "True. -- Jamie Mcguire
Even though I'd told her that I couldn't walk away from her, I finally realized that I loved her too much to fuck her life by staying, or to lose her completely by forcing us both to hang on until we hated each other. -- Jamie Mcguire
Her phone lay on the table, so I picked it up, turned on the camera, made a stupid face, and snapped a picture. "What the hell are you doing?" Abby said with a giggle.
I searched for my name, and then attached the picture. "So you'll remember how much you adore me when I call. -- Jamie Mcguire
WELL I BELONG TO YOU!" The veins in his neck bulged as he shouted, and I met his glare, refusing to even flinch. He looked at my lips, panting. "I belong to you," he whispered, his anger melting as he realized how close we were. -- Jamie Mcguire
WELL I BELONG TO YOU!" The veins in his (Travis) neck bulged as he shouted, and I met his glare, refusing to even flinch. He looked at my lips, panting. "I belong to you," he whispered ... -- Jamie Mcguire
I'm going to kill David Lapinski!" America announced, shaking snow out of her hair as she approached.
"Direct hit!" Shepley laughed. America shot him a warning glare and his laugh turned into a nervous chuckle. "I mean ... what an asshole. -- Jamie Mcguire
Your brain amazes me. Your thoughts are poetry. -- Jamie Mcguire
We'd had to find each other to finally understand that love could not be controlled. Predictions, assumptions, and absolutes were illusions. My love for him was volatile, uncontrollable, and overpowering, but ... that was love. Love was real. -- Jamie Mcguire
You're going to realize what a pain in the ass I was, and then you'll forget all about missing me," I said into his ear.
He puffed a breath of air as he rubbed my back. "Promise? -- Jamie Mcguire
It's always safe until something bad happens. -- Jamie Mcguire
I do, however, want you . You're not the one I'm stuck with because I didn't get my first choice. If you think you're in love with two people, you pick the second one, right? Because if I really loved T.J., I couldn't have fallen in love with you. -- Jamie Mcguire
I'm not trying to compliment you! I thought I was going to go out of my damn mind thinking about you being in California. I swore to myself that I wouldn't call you, and when you got back, I was going to accept your choice. But you drove to my house. You're here. I don't know what to do with that. -- Jamie Mcguire
I can't stand this, Pigeon. I feel like I'm going crazy."
I threw out my hands and let them hit my thighs. "You can't stand what?"
"If you sleep with him, I don't wanna know about it. I'll go to prison for a long time if I find out he ... just don't tell me. -- Jamie Mcguire
Abigail! I'm not defending him, Stupid! I'm looking out for you! You're both crazy about each other! Do something about it! -- Jamie Mcguire
You won't have to worry about that. I am writing my own story. And in my story, I get a happy ending. No matter what happens, they can't touch me. -- Jamie Mcguire
I had a thing for you since the night of that first fight."
"What?" I said with a dubious expression.
"It's true. You in that cardigan with blood all over you?
You looked absolutely ridiculous," he chuckled.
"Thanks. -- Jamie Mcguire
Don't interrupt my anxiety attack. It's rude. -- Jamie Mcguire
A boy without a mother is a very curious creature. If Travis is anything like his father, and I know that he is, he's a deep ocean of fragility, protected by a thick wall of swear words and feigned indifference." -Diane Maddox -- Jamie Mcguire
Travis was going to be a part of that, and if he wouldn't let me save him, I had to save myself. -- Jamie Mcguire
Trenton raked the strands of hair away from my face and out of my eyes, My entire body was overwhelmed by the most wonderful intensity. It enveloped me, and I cried out as it traveled like electricity throughout my body.
"Goddamn, keep making that sound," he said, breathless. -- Jamie Mcguire
If I was drowning you would part the sea
And risk your own life to rescue me ... -- Jamie Mcguire
The first time I bring a girl home, and not only is she the daughter of a famous poker player, but she could easily bankrupt us all in a single hand. For being the family fuckup, I felt like I had finally gained a little respect from my older brothers. And it was all because of Abby. -- Jamie Mcguire
I'm just trying not to have a Tom Cruise moment
[ ... ]
He was having a very Tom Cruise moment -- Jamie Mcguire
He scanned my face with careful hope in his eyes.
"You love me?"
"It's the tattoos," I shrugged.
A wide smile stretched across his face, making his
dimple sink into his cheek. -- Jamie Mcguire
What kind of husband would I be if I bet against my own marriage?'
I smiled. 'The stupid kind. Didn't you listen to your dad when he told you not to bet against me? -- Jamie Mcguire
I need another drink!" I said as a second attempt to change the subject.
"Shots!" America yelled.
Shepley rolled his eyes. "Oh, yeah. That's what you need, another shot. -- Jamie Mcguire
You're so obvious. Why didn't you just roll in dog shit to make your outfit complete? -- Jamie Mcguire
His laughter bellowed throughout the house, and he patted my hand. You've met my sons, Abby. You should know it's damn near impossible to offend me. -- Jamie Mcguire
Back the fuck up or I'll kill you!" he yelled to those staring at the fallen men. I gripped his arm tighter and he patted my hand. "I got ya, Abby. Just watch the fight. -- Jamie Mcguire
America grinned. "No, it's something else," she said, watching Travis' hand as he patted my thigh. She was right; he was different. There was an air of peace around him, almost as if some kind of new contentment had settled into his soul. -- Jamie Mcguire
Are you moving out?"
"Nope. Lost a bet. -- Jamie Mcguire
I have a jacket. Thank you". He smirked. "Not one that smells like me. -- Jamie Mcguire
She was curled in a ball, waiting for me to come to bed. It irritated me that she'd just rode home with Parker and then undressed in front of me like it was nothing, but at the same time, that was just the kind of fucked-up platonic situation we were in, and it was all my doing. -- Jamie Mcguire
I was just thinking now was as good a time as any to acknowledge that you're perfect and it wouldn't suck if you fell madly in love with me anytime soon. - TRENT -- Jamie Mcguire
She liked it dark when her soul felt black -- Jamie Mcguire
Oh, those Maddox boys," Ellison said, -- Jamie Mcguire
Last night was one of the best nights of my life."
"Sleeping in between the toilet an the tub on a cold, hard tile floor with a vomiting idiot was one of our best nights? That's sad, Trav. -- Jamie Mcguire
Thank you," I said with pride, tucking the money away in my bra.
"You are incredibly sexy right now," Travis said in my ear as we walked to the living room. -- Jamie Mcguire
Your payback? You've made me believe all weekend that you were falling for me!" "I am! I have! Jesus Christ, Camille, how can I get -- Jamie Mcguire
Do your worst, Pidge. I'm tired of your shit."
I released his skin and jerked my arms, struggling against his grip. "My shit? Let me out of this fucking car!"
He pulled my wrists close to his face. "I love you, dammit! You're not going anywhere until you sober up and we figure this out! -- Jamie Mcguire
I love you more than anything on
this earth; more than anything in the universe. I love you more
than life, more than my family, and I love you more than I love
being with you in that way. -- Jamie Mcguire
I was just as in love with her in our eleventh year as I was in the first. Every anniversary was a victory, a middle finger to everyone who thought we wouldn't last. Abby tamed me, marriage settled me down, and when I became a father, my entire outlook changed. -- Jamie Mcguire
I loved a man who I couldn't love, who loved someone else but loved me more ... Love could kiss my ass -- Jamie Mcguire
You're going the right direction. No one does anything perfectly the first time. It's going to be okay. No one could have said anything better to me in that instant. Those three simple sentences set my soul at ease. -- Jamie Mcguire
Marek's expression was murderous; Travis looked mildly amused. -- Jamie Mcguire
She shook her head and hugged me, laying her head on my shoulder. I squeezed her to me, and buried my face in her neck. When we were like that, quiet, happy, ignoring the fact that we weren't supposed to be anything more than friends, it was the only place I wanted to be. -- Jamie Mcguire
You don't scare me," Tyler said, leaning in. "Stop being so damn stubborn. I'm good for you."
- "What if I'm bad for you? -- Jamie Mcguire
Her long platinum blond hair fell in loose waves past her shoulders, with a few black peekaboo strands. She wore a black minidress and combat boots. -- Jamie Mcguire
I'm not sure what I ever did without you," he said, holding me up with one hand and unbuckling his belt with the other, "but I don't ever want to find out. You're everything I've ever wanted, Pigeon. -- Jamie Mcguire
This is the first time I'm meeting your dad and your brothers ... all at the same time ... and you want me to calm down?" I said, climbing onto his bike behind him.
He angled his neck, touching my cheek as he kissed me. "They're going to love you, just like I do. -- Jamie Mcguire
The anger subsided, and my shoulders fell. "I know you didn't. But you have got to curb this overprotective big-brother thing you've got going on."
Travis laughed once. "I'm not playing the big brother, Pigeon. Not even close. -- Jamie Mcguire
I don't even understand life right now. What is going on? -- Jamie Mcguire
It was unforgiveable," I said. "But I forgive you. -- Jamie Mcguire
Abby closed her eyes and leaned down. I knew she meant to kiss the corner of my mouth, but I turned so that our lips met. It was my last chance. I had to kiss her goodbye. -- Jamie Mcguire
You're lucky I love Abby. I wouldn't do this shit for just anyone," Trent grumbled, brushing off his shirt -- Jamie Mcguire
Dr. Webber rolled her eyes, unimpressed with my timing, and probably a little irritated with my lack of materials. I winked, and the slightest smile touched her lips. -- Jamie Mcguire
Do you ever look less than gorgeous?" Parker asked.
"Based on the first time she came over here, I'm going to say yes," Travis said from behind me. -- Jamie Mcguire
My eyes filled with tears. "Get out."
"Pigeon," he said, taking a step toward me.
"Get OUT!" I said, grabbing the glass from the night stand and throwing it at him. He ducked, and it shattered against the wall in hundreds of tiny, glistening shards. "I hate you! -- Jamie Mcguire
It. I don't mean to poke the bear, but I've got one nerve left, and Maddox is dry-humping it. So, could you all move it along? -- Jamie Mcguire
I stumbled into the living room, and Thomas handed me a bottle of whiskey. They all had some in a glass
"You told them?" I asked Trenton, my voice broken.
Trenton nodded.
I collapsed to my knees, and my brothers surrounded me, placing their hands on my head and shoulders for support. -- Jamie Mcguire
You slept just fine in the recliner. Why couldn't you sleep with me?"
"You mean next to a guy who still smelled like the pair of bar flies he had just sent home? I don't know! How selfish of me! -- Jamie Mcguire
I still love you, Pidge."
She didn't look up. "Don't. I'm not doing this for you."
I sucked in a breath, physical pain shooting in all directions in my chest. "I know. -- Jamie Mcguire
Abby opened the box, and looked up at me, tears in her eyes. "You always know just what to get. It's perfect," she said, her graceful fingers touching the three birthstones of our children. She slipped it on her right ring finger, holding out her hand to admire her new bauble. -- Jamie Mcguire
You're really going to cut me out of your life because of one fucking kiss?"
"Was that all it was?" I asked.
Trenton fell quiet.
"That's what I thought." I hit End again. -- Jamie Mcguire
I am the one, Cami. I'm it for you. I know because you're it for me. -- Jamie Mcguire
You're going to be sorry you didn't open the door, because I just crawled along that piss-covered floor and now I'm going to hug you. -- Jamie Mcguire
I'll put everything I have. I don't regret a single second with you, Pidge, and I never will. -- Jamie Mcguire
Canceling on my big sister. I'll bust his fuckin' face. -- Jamie Mcguire
What do you want from me? I keep telling you I don't care about this secret. I'm telling you I want you. I don't know what else to say to convince you. -- Jamie Mcguire
Abby being in my room made it feel like home, and the emptiness no longer seemed right. -- Jamie Mcguire
There's a girl, Dad."
He smiled a bit. "A girl."
"She kinda hates me, and I kinda ... "
"Love her?"
"I don't know. I don't think so. I mean ... how do you know?"
His smile grew wider. "When you're talking about her with your old dad because you don't know what else to do. -- Jamie Mcguire
I told you, Baby. They're gonna love you. Love you like I love you, love you, Shepley said, tucking her hair behind her ear. -- Jamie Mcguire
Have I told you today how incredibly beautiful you are? If I haven't, I deeply apologize. That's something that should be recognized on a daily basis. -- Jamie Mcguire
When the sad went away, i would always play, and i would always fight. Hard. -- Jamie Mcguire
Cami, I could never hate you. Even if I wanted to. Trust me, I've tried. -- Jamie Mcguire
Trav? Are you okay?" I asked.
There was a long pause before he finally spoke. "I've never been less okay in my life. -- Jamie Mcguire
Neither one of you will just come out and say it, that's the problem. You're both so scared of what might happen that you're fighting it tooth and nail. I know for a fact that if you looked Travis in the eye and told him you wanted him, he would never look at another woman again. -- Jamie Mcguire
Travis was still asleep, surrounding me with both his arms and his legs. I maneuvered an arm free to reach over and pound the snooze button. Wiping my face, I looked over at him, sleeping soundly two inches from my face. -- Jamie Mcguire
I'm not your anything," I snapped, glaring up at him.
His eyebrows pulled in and he stopped dancing. "You're my everything. -- Jamie Mcguire
You pussy-whipped douche waffle. -- Jamie Mcguire
I'll see you tomorrow, Mare. You know you want to see my ring."
"And your tat," she said, a smile in her voice. -- Jamie Mcguire
View, Pigeon, he said, mumbling something inaudible before his breathing returned to slow and deep.
I couldn't help but watch him sleep; knowing he was dreaming about me sent a thrill through my veins that I couldn't explain. -- Jamie Mcguire
I'm so sorry, Pigeon. I tried to get to you. I tried ... ." He cleared his throat of the anger and worry that choked him. "I couldn't get to you. -- Jamie Mcguire
You don't care about reputations. What happened to the Travis that doesn't give a shit what anyone thinks -- Jamie Mcguire
I don't understand you, Pigeon. I thought I knew women, but you're so fucking confusing I don't know which way is up."
"I don't understand you, either. You're supposed to be Eastern's ladies' man. I'm not getting the full freshmen experience they promised in the brochure," I teased. -- Jamie Mcguire
I took a deep breath, and shut the bedroom door behind me. Even though we'd put each other through hell, we'd found heaven. Maybe that was more than a couple of sinners deserved, but I wasn't going to complain. -- Jamie Mcguire
My jeans don't know your jean well enough to be washed together. -- Jamie Mcguire
You realize people like you and Trav are going to fight, right?" America said, filing her nails as she chewed the huge wad of gum in her mouth.
I turned over on the bed. "You are officially fired. You are a terrible conscious. -- Jamie Mcguire
He's not an ogre. Actually, at this point, he might think I'm the ogre. -- Jamie Mcguire
I will keep you safe throughout your flight and trip to Jerusalem. Then you must rise above your struggle. Only then will you appreciate your plight. -- Jamie Mcguire
For the first time, he felt like part of my beginning instead of a happy ending. -- Jamie Mcguire
It was as if we had fallen down a rabbit hole and landed in a frat house Fu ll of drunken toddlers. Suddenly, Eat Me had a whole new meaning. -- Jamie Mcguire
Claire freed him, and then lifted Ryan to his feet. She pushed back his head to inspect his wound, overly rough. "You'll live." Ryan winced. "Thanks, Honey, I love you, too. -- Jamie Mcguire
People have forgotten to use their memories. They look at life through the lens of a camera or the screen of a cell phone instead of remembering how it looks, how it smells -- Jamie Mcguire
His eyebrows pulled in, and then he cradled me to him with both arms, still staring out the window. I watch you sleeping a lot. You always look so peaceful. I don't have that kind of quiet. I have all this anger and rage boiling inside of me - except when I watch you sleep. -- Jamie Mcguire
Country's for dancing and crying. AC/DC is for cleaning your truck. -- Jamie Mcguire
Make way! Move it, people! Lets make room for this poor woman's hideously disfigured, ginormous brain! She's a fucking genius! -- Jamie Mcguire
He tossed me over his shoulder, making his way through the crowd behind us. "Make way! Move it, people! Let's make room for this poor woman's hideously disfigured, ginormous brain! She's a fucking genius!"
I giggled at the amused and curious exp -- Jamie Mcguire
Travis watched me pull hair away from my face and then walked to the door, holding it open.
'I wouldn't let anything happen to you, Pigeon. -- Jamie Mcguire
Travis lifted me off the ground, twirling me around.
"Happy birthday, Pigeon," he said with a soft expression.
I stared into his warm, brown eyes for a moment, feeling lost inside of them. The room was frozen in time as we stared at each other, so close I could feel his breath on my skin. -- Jamie Mcguire
I didn't say you're a bad person. I just don't like being a foregone conclusion for the sole reason of having a vagina. -- Jamie Mcguire
She watched me with her big gray eyes, and I melted inside of them. -- Jamie Mcguire
Jesus, Shep. I told you ... "
"I know what you said. You have eighteen missed calls."
"All Trent?"
"One is from Panty Wearers Anonymous. -- Jamie Mcguire
Don't take these from anyone but me or Shep. I don't want anyone slipping anything in your drink. -- Jamie Mcguire
Shep: "You have to overlook his demons. It's the only way he'll know."
Abby: "Know what?"
Shep: "If you'll climb over the wall. -- Jamie Mcguire
I had never been in love before Abby, and no one had even piqued my interest since. My life was the woman standing before me, and the family we'd made together. -- Jamie Mcguire
I'd do anything for that smile that's on your face right now. -- Jamie Mcguire
Really? I'm trying to place you. It seems like we've met before. Did I just issue him a pick up line? Fantastic, I've now sunk to the level of desperate teenage boys everywhere. -- Jamie Mcguire
Did I tell you how incredible you look tonight?
I shook my head and hugged him, laying my head on his shoulder. He tightened his grip, and buried his face in my neck, making me forget about decisions or bracelets or my separate personalities; I was exactly where I wanted to be. -- Jamie Mcguire
I wasn't sure if what I was feeling was love, but I'd never felt this way before. -- Jamie Mcguire
You, Mad Dog, are exactly what I came here to protect her from. But you know what? We're all broken some way or another. Even with your epic fuckup, you just might be exactly what she needs. You get one more chance -- Jamie Mcguire
That situation is a broken heart just waiting to happen -- Jamie Mcguire
Travis pushed me behind him a few feet and stood tall. I hope you know, Benny, that when I take out your men, I mean no disrespect. But I'm in love with this girl, and I can't let you hurt her. -- Jamie Mcguire
I wasn't mad at you. I just have a bad habit of lashing out at those I care about. It's a piss poor excuse, I know, but I am sorry, he said, enveloping me in his arms. -- Jamie Mcguire
Turn off your phone, asshole! Some of us have hangovers! Raegan yelled from her bedroom. -- Jamie Mcguire
The entire room exploded into applause, even a few whistles. I shook my after he kissed my forehead, and then stood up to take a bow. When he returned to his seat in front of me, he chuckled.
"They're not looking at you, now, are they?" he panted.
"Thanks. You really shouldn't have," I smiled. -- Jamie Mcguire
Hey! Back up off her!" Travis frowned, shoving anyone who came near me. His stern expression melted into a smile at the sight my shirt, and then he dabbed my face with a towel. "Sorry about that, Pigeon. -- Jamie Mcguire
I'm a mess!" I said, frowning in the mirror.
"Do you even realize how beautiful you are?" he asked, kissing my neck. -- Jamie Mcguire
Sweet potato fries -- Jamie Mcguire
I don't want the whole story. I just want you. -- Jamie Mcguire
You know why I want you? I didn't know I was lost until you found me. I didn't know what alone was until the first night I spent without you in my bed. You're the one thing I've got right. You're what I've been waiting for, Pigeon. -- Jamie Mcguire
I didn't even know I was lost until you found me.I didn't know what alone was until the first night I spent without you in my bed. You're the one thing I've got right. You've what I've been waiting for, Pigeon. -- Jamie Mcguire
He leaned in, seeming flustered. I'll kill him if he touches you. -- Jamie Mcguire
Are you insane?"
"I know. I know what you're thinking, but I had to. It was The One. And I was right! I haven't seen one since that was as perfect as this one! -- Jamie Mcguire
Okay, Trent. Pop my cherry. -- Jamie Mcguire
You're sleeping in my bed."
"Which is more unsanitary than the couch, I'm sure."
"There's never been anyone in my bed but me. -- Jamie Mcguire
It was a surprise party, Parker," America said softly.
"Oh," Parker said, cringing.
"You're throwing me a surprise party?" I asked America.
She shrugged. "It was Trav's idea. It's at Brazil's on Sunday. Six o'clock. -- Jamie Mcguire
It wasn't okay. I didn't want her to leave. I didn't care if Jesus wanted her or not. She was my mommy. He could take an old mommy. One that didn't have little boys to take care of. -- Jamie Mcguire
The reasons leading to the origin of the problem aren't always simple, but the solution always is. -- Jamie Mcguire
I pulled her arms around me without apology, tight enough that it was difficult to expand my chest enough to fully inhale but for the first time all night, I felt like I could breathe.-pg 232/ARC -- Jamie Mcguire
Maybe, but we're the same, Liis. That's why it didn't work out with other people. I'm not going to let you run away, and you're not going to put up with my shit. -- Jamie Mcguire
I had died and woken up in High School Musical -- Jamie Mcguire
Travis walked me to class, his grip tensing a few times when my feet slipped on the ice. "You should be more careful," he teased.
"I'm doing it on purpose. You're such a sucker."
"If you want my arms around you, all you have to do is ask," he said, pulling me into his chest. -- Jamie Mcguire
You're my perfection. I'm all of those things for you, -- Jamie Mcguire
It was getting very difficult for me to keep from being excited in other places. Watching Abby own my brothers - and a poker veteran like my father - hand after hand was turning me on. I'd never seen a women so sexy in my life, and this one happened to be my girlfriend. -- Jamie Mcguire
Fuck no, Trav, you're not pulling this shit! You're in love with Ab ... ," his eyes focused and he recognized his mistake, " ... by. Hey, Abby. -- Jamie Mcguire
Nothing was better than coming up with new ways to make her fall in love with me all over again. I lived for that shit now, and it was way more satisfying. -- Jamie Mcguire
Most girls bored me outta my gourd, but this girl was intriguing. Entertaining, even. I didn't faze her, at least not in a positive way. My very presence seemed to make her want to puke, and I found that strangely endearing. -- Jamie Mcguire
Our next fighter doesn't need an introduction, but because he scares the shit outta me, I'll give him one, anyway! Shake in your boots, boys, and drop your panties, ladies! I give you: Travis 'Mad Dog' Maddox! -- Jamie Mcguire
You don't really hate me ... do you?" he asked.
"Sometimes I wish that I did. It would make everything a whole hell of a lot easier."
"So what pisses you off more? What I did to make you wanna hate me? Or knowing that you can't? -- Jamie Mcguire
C'mon, Mare. I wish I could say I'm sorry, but I'm married to the love of my life."
"The love of your life is a Harley!"
"Not anymore! -- Jamie Mcguire
Good luck,"
Travis grabbed my shoulders and planted a kiss on my lips. He pulled away quickly, nodding once. "That's all the luck I need. -- Jamie Mcguire
Did you freak out this much when you got your tattoos?" I asked him, smiling at the apprehensive expression on his face.
He shifted, seeming to feel my pain a thousand times more than I. "Uh ... no. This is different. This is much, much worse. -- Jamie Mcguire
From this day forward, you won't walk alone. My heart will be your shelter and my arms will be your home. -- Jamie Mcguire
You're turning me into a fucking psycho, Pigeon," he growled over his shoulder. "I don't think straight when I'm around you. -- Jamie Mcguire
I was now in a situation where I didn't have to prove myself, because the one person that fully accepted me, my best friend, was now a permanent fixture in my life. -- Jamie Mcguire
As worried as I was that you'd never speak to me again ... I think it's worse that you're indifferent. -- Jamie Mcguire
I've wanted you for so long, Abby. You're all I want, -- Jamie Mcguire
I am begging you." My arm lowered and tugged as he fell to his knees. "I'm begging you, Abby. Don't do this."
"Let me go, Travis."
Travis was on his knees, palms flat on the pavement.
The sight of him on the ground made the tears I'd been holding back rush down my face. -- Jamie Mcguire
I feel sorry for anyone that thinks they have a chance. I am hopelessly and completely in love with you. -- Jamie Mcguire
The door vibrated with the soft bump of Travis' forehead against the door. "I don't want you leave, but I wouldn't blame you if you did. -- Jamie Mcguire
Let me guess, it's the love of your life?" I said quoting Travis' statement about his motorcycle.
"No, it's a car. The love of my life will be a women with my last name. -- Jamie Mcguire
Cry if you must. Scream. Get it all out of your system, and then we'll have fun. It won't last forever, but it will keep you busy for tonight. -- Jamie Mcguire
And then I saw the worst thing I'd ever seen
in my life: Trenton in a man thong,
covered in about ten pounds of body
glitter. He had on a cheap, yellow wig,
and Cami was laughing her head off,
cheering him on. -- Jamie Mcguire
I squinted against the light pouring into the room. I couldn't sleep all night, knowing when the sun came up, it would be all over. Abby stirred, and my teeth clenched. The few hours we spent together wasn't enough. I wasn't ready for it to be over. -- Jamie Mcguire
I have a bad case of awkward as fuck -- Jamie Mcguire
You said I'd see you tomorrow, and now you're getting on a fucking plane? -- Jamie Mcguire
I turned to watch the women on the dance floor, laughing and smiling and watching Travis and Megan vertically dry fucking. -- Jamie Mcguire
I want you to know that whatever love is, this has got to be it. We were best friends first, and we tried not to fall in love, and we did anyway. If you're not with me, it's not where I want to be. I'm in this. I'm with you. -- Jamie Mcguire
I'm sorry for calling you so early, but this couldn't wait. I can't go to dinner with you on Wednesday."
"I can't see you at all actually."
"I'm ... pretty sure I'm in love with Travis. -- Jamie Mcguire
I've got less than twenty-four hours with you, Pidge. I'm gonna kiss you. I'm gonna kiss you a lot today. All day. Every chance I get. If you want me to stop, just say the word, but until you do, I'm going make every second of my last day with you count. -- Jamie Mcguire
Vegas changed people, creating monsters and broken men. It was easy to let the lights and stolen dreams seep into your blood. -- Jamie Mcguire
The only thing I'm afraid of is a life without you, Pigeon."
"Then you have nothing to be afraid of," I said. "We're forever. -- Jamie Mcguire
Everything inside me wanted to throw a typical Maddox tantrum, but Abby needed me to man up for the moment. -- Jamie Mcguire
Ellie?" he said. Just the reflection of his ice-blue irises seared through me. "Do you know what's coming?" "Goodbye?" I said, only half-joking. Jubal smiled, concentrating again on the road. "Maybe not. -- Jamie Mcguire
Don't flatter yourself. It's hard not to notice when fifty drunks are chanting your name. -- Jamie Mcguire
It's a difference between want and should, isn't it?" "Yes. You should do what you want. -- Jamie Mcguire
It's dangerous to need someone that much. You're trying to save him and he's hoping you can. You two are a disaster." I smiled at the ceiling. "It doesn't matter what or why it is. When it's good, Kara ... it's beautiful. -- Jamie Mcguire
It doesn't make you weak to forgive someone, you know" he said. "No, but it gives people another chance to hurt you. -- Jamie Mcguire
How about you? I asked my third child. I kissed Abby's protruding belly button, and then stood up again. -- Jamie Mcguire
I stepped out of the bathroom in a black dress and hot pink heels.
America whistled. "Hot damn, Mama!"
I smiled in appreciation, and Travis held out his hand. "Nice legs."
"Did I mention that it's a magic razor?"
"I don't think it's the razor," he smiled, pulling me out the door. -- Jamie Mcguire
It was then that I knew. Without a doubt in my mind, without worry of what others would think, and having no fear of mistakes or consequences, I smiled at the words I would say. -- Jamie Mcguire
Shit," he said, panting and frustrated. "I got rid of them."
"What? All of them?" I breathed.
"I thought you didn't ... if I wasn't with you, I wasn't going to need them. -- Jamie Mcguire
I'm going to kill you, Abby Abernathy!" America cried. "Kill you!"
"Technically, it's Abby Maddox, now," I said, smiling at my new husband. -- Jamie Mcguire
It's over. Go home."
His eyebrows pulled in. "You're my home. -- Jamie Mcguire
Being the exception was no longer a mysterious, special thing. I had become his weakness. -- Jamie Mcguire
Hello?" "Hazel said you're not coming in. You okay?" "Uh . . ." "Are you sick?" "No." "Then why aren't you coming to work?" "I have a bad case of awkward as fuck." "Because I kissed you?" he asked, incensed. -- Jamie Mcguire
I wasn't sure what I'd done to deserve such a wonderful gift, and I wasn't sure if it was insolent, but I thanked God for fallen angels. -- Jamie Mcguire
I can't have a life without you. I don't want a life without you. -- Jamie Mcguire
I stared at the couch with revulsion. "She's someone's daughter, Travis. What if, down the line, someone treats your daughter like that?"
"My daughter better not drop her panties for some jackass she just met, let's put it that way. -- Jamie Mcguire
She wrapped her arms around my neck and sighed against my skin. She smelled so good, it was ridiculous. -- Jamie Mcguire
I had never wanted to kiss a girl so much in my life. "Happy birthday, Pigeon," I said, trying very hard not to press my lips against hers. -- Jamie Mcguire
I'm gonna fuck up. I'm gonna fuck up a lot, Pidge, but you have to forgive me. -- Jamie Mcguire
America and Shepley followed behind him. "Let's just hope no one is stupid enough to say anything to him," America said.
"Or her," Shepley added. -- Jamie Mcguire
That was before I saw the look on your face when you heard what everyone's saying. I don't want you to get hurt because of me."
"You would never do anything to hurt me."
"I'd rather cut off my arm," he sighed. -- Jamie Mcguire
She was my opposite: innocent on the surface, and damaged deep within. -- Jamie Mcguire
At night we would lie down and snuggle like an old married couple. -- Jamie Mcguire
I missed a fight tonight," he said. "Adam called. I didn't go. "
"Why?" I said, turning to face him.
"I wanted to make sure you got home. -- Jamie Mcguire
My God you're sexy," Travis said, propping his head up with his hand. "The most beautiful woman at Eastern is my girlfriend. That's insanity. -- Jamie Mcguire
Eleven years today, we were in Vegas. It's still the best day of my life. -- Jamie Mcguire
I've had a year to write this speech, and I wrote it last night. -- Jamie Mcguire
One down, forever to go," I whispered back. -- Jamie Mcguire
The day you appeared on our family tree, I wanted to cut it down. -- Jamie Mcguire
So you like her and you're scared. Now what?"
"Nothing. It just sucks that I finally found the girl worth having and she's too good for me. -- Jamie Mcguire
I Just Want you to know I'm a big fan, even though you're kind of a prick and a cheat. So don't take it personally when yo get KTFO'd tonight. -- Jamie Mcguire
Jesus Christ, Cami, please. I can't do it. I can't be here, thinking about you there, with him. -- Jamie Mcguire
Shepley turned back to America. "I'll walk you there." He looked to the suit. "Nobody touches her. I will fucking kill the first person that does. -- Jamie Mcguire
Did women deserve to be treated like sluts? No. Did sluts deserve to be treated like sluts? Yes. -- Jamie Mcguire
She's taken, shit dick. Go set up your room. Your machine has cobwebs on it. -- Jamie Mcguire
He held me tight against him until I quit struggling, and then he flicked the strap of my dress, causing it to hang off my shoulder.
'Since the word virgin came out of those beautiful lips of yours ... I have a sudden urge to help you out of that dress. -- Jamie Mcguire
It's ... .my God, it's amazing," I whispered as he took my left hand in his.
"Can I put it on your finger?" he asked, peering up at me. When I nodded, he pressed his lips together, sliding the silver band over my knuckle, holding it in place for a moment before letting go. "Now it's amazing. -- Jamie Mcguire
No, sitting up with you when you were sick, and you falling asleep in my lap, was one of my best nights. It wasn't comfortable, I didn't sleep worth a shit, but I brought in your nineteenth birthday with you, and you're actually pretty sweet when you're drunk. -- Jamie Mcguire
Get in the fucking car. You're a mean drunk.
You haven't seen me mean, mama's boy!
I told you we're close!
Yeah, so are me and my asshole! Doesn't mean I'm going to call it twice a day! -- Jamie Mcguire
The volume exploded when Travis appeared in a doorway across the room. He made his entrance, shirtless, relaxed and unaffected. He strolled into the center of the circle as if he were showing up to another day at work. -- Jamie Mcguire
To the next generation of Maddoxes," Shepley said.
Travis's dimple sank in when he smiled. "May their lives be as beautiful as the women who carried them. -- Jamie Mcguire
The Maddoxes could sense trouble. At least it seemed that way, because whenever there was a fight, they had either started it, or finished it. Usually both. -- Jamie Mcguire
I shoved my hands in my pocket, refusing to say, I might be falling for you at this very moment, or any of the other stupid things that were bombarding my mind. -- Jamie Mcguire
I can't lose you, Cami. -- Jamie Mcguire
Travis walked in, and froze in the doorway. "Wow."
"You look amazing," he said as I slid on my heels. -- Jamie Mcguire
Travis sighed. "I just said that because," he scratched his short hair nervously, "I don't want to ruin anything, Pigeon. I wouldn't even know how to go about being who you deserve. I was just trying to get it worked out in my head. -- Jamie Mcguire
So you're the Pigeon, huh?"
"No," I snapped. "I have a name."
He seemed amused at the way I regarded him, which only served to make me angrier.
"Well? What is it?" he asked.
I took a bite of the last apple spear on my plate, ignoring him.
"Pigeon it is, then," he shrugged. -- Jamie Mcguire
I'll give you the happy ever after, Pigeon. If you just believe in me, I can do it. -- Jamie Mcguire
Because I'll be more worried about who's looking at your tits in that shirt instead of Hoffman. - Travis -- Jamie Mcguire
He reminded me of the typical soap-opera star. His words were fake, his smile was fake, and his very presence affected me like nails on a chalkboard. -- Jamie Mcguire
I exist for you. And I live for you. And I live to love you. -- Jamie Mcguire
America smiled at me and wiped my face. "You are such a pain in the ass, Abby. God, I love you! -- Jamie Mcguire
I should say no to prove a point", He said, his eyebrows pulled together. "But I would hate myself later if I said no and you never asked me again" - Travis -- Jamie Mcguire
I'm glad you had a good time, Pidge. You deserve it. -- Jamie Mcguire
If you're not with me, it's not where I want to be. -- Jamie Mcguire
I wasn't sure if seeing Abby hurt would ever make me feel anything less than a little crazy, but she didn't need a hotheaded boyfriend. She needed an understanding husband. -- Jamie Mcguire
I'm so glad you're here, Abby. I feel like I just walked into a Molly Ringwald movie. -- Jamie Mcguire
It looks like Vegas threw up on a flock of vultures. -- Jamie Mcguire
What I do know is that I wasn't happy about the direction my life was going until you got in my truck that first night. I don't know what the hell I'm doing, Erin. I'm just ... I'm winging it. I was kinda hoping you would wing it with me -- Jamie Mcguire
Class starts in five. You
riding in the Charger?"
"Nah. I'm going to see if I can get Abby on the back of my bike again. It's the closest I can get to
the inside of her thighs. -- Jamie Mcguire
If I were going to give you my future, I'd need you to move on from the past. -- Jamie Mcguire
I smiled to fight the tears. "Fifty bucks says you'll be thanking me for this when you meet your future wife."
Travis's eyebrow pulled together as his face fell. "That's an easy bet. The only woman I'd ever wanna marry just broke my heart. -- Jamie Mcguire
In the next moment he was behind me, crossing his arms around my middle. I go where you go. -- Jamie Mcguire
Fuckin' A. Bedtime. -- Jamie Mcguire
I can't believe you gave her the green light to let us have it for an entire hour," I said, following him through the revolving door.
"You don't really think I'm going to let her yell at my wife, do you? -- Jamie Mcguire
Thank Christ!" Marks yelled to an invisible audience, pointing all his fingers in Val's general direction. "A straight fucking answer! -- Jamie Mcguire
That is going to be one pissed off young man when he figures out what you're doing." My chest sank in. "I already feel bad enough. -- Jamie Mcguire
There were worse things than finding your soul mate too early in life, and what was too early, anyway? -- Jamie Mcguire
She had no idea how right - and how wrong - she was. My conflicted feelings about her were maddening. I was in love with her; couldn't imagine a life without her in it -- Jamie Mcguire
He tightened his grip. I'm not good enough for you, Pidge. That doesn't mean I don't trust you, I'm just bracing for the inevitable. -- Jamie Mcguire
I need to hear you say it. I need to know you're mine."
"I've been yours since the second we met. -- Jamie Mcguire
Dude, you got your girl's name on your wrist? What in the hell possessed you to do that?" Brad said.
Travis proudly turned over his hand to reveal my name.
"I'm crazy about her," he said, looking down at me with soft eyes. -- Jamie Mcguire
The guests cheered, and America started a drunken rendition of Happy Birthday. I laughed when the part came to say my name and the entire room sang "Pigeon". -- Jamie Mcguire
No, I can't die because there are too many jackasses falling over themselves to take my place! I may live forever just to spite them! -- Jamie Mcguire
I'm not afraid of them. I refuse. No matter what they do to me, I am in control of the way others make me feel. They can't hurt me if I don't let them. -- Jamie Mcguire
It was almost laughable trying to intimidate two men wearing togas, but I still unleashed my full-on I Will Kill You expression. -- Jamie Mcguire
I would do anything, go anywhere, suffer anything to make you happy. You know that, right? That's all I want. -- Jamie Mcguire
He kissed me as if I was the air he'd gone without for five days. -- Jamie Mcguire
It's a Harley Night Rod. She's the love of my life, so don't scratch the paint when you get on. -- Jamie Mcguire
Travis shrugged. "She's not my girl, anymore."
I kept my features smooth, but he had said the words so matter-of-factly, it caused a stabbing sensation in my chest. -- Jamie Mcguire
One down, forever to go. -- Jamie Mcguire
I thought of all the times I had insisted being with Travis was the wrong decision, and how much time I had wasted fighting my feelings for him. Looking across the table at his soft, brown eyes, and the dimple dancing in his cheek as he chewed, I couldn't remember what I was so worried about. -- Jamie Mcguire
With each step she took that brought her closer to where I stood, my heart pounded harder against my chest. -- Jamie Mcguire
Or your arms," Trenton added. "Because if you ever talk to her with anything less than a respectful tone again, I will rip those fuckers off and beat you with 'em. Do we understand each other? -- Jamie Mcguire
Women usually justify their actions with whatever they make up in their heads. -- Jamie Mcguire
I walked out into the living room and Travis smiled, not the reaction I expected at all.
You ... are beautiful. -- Jamie Mcguire
I couldn't imagine being a girl. The bullshit routine they had to go through just to get out the door consumed half of their lives. -- Jamie Mcguire
My wish for both of you is that the biggest fight you have is over who is the most forgiving. -- Jamie Mcguire
No, it's not okay. You said you wanna be friends, but we can't hang out?" I rolled my eyes, and Travis huffed. "Don't roll your eyes at me. Are you coming or not? -- Jamie Mcguire
You have said from the beginning that this was all happening exactly the way it was supposed to. You can't pick and choose. It's either fate, or it's not. -- Jamie Mcguire
It wasn't just me, and it wasn't just him, it was what we were together that was the exception. -- Jamie Mcguire
I felt I was on some sort of Maddox suicide watch. -- Jamie Mcguire
I fucking love you -- Jamie Mcguire
Her personality was charming to those she loved, and repellent to those she didn't -- Jamie Mcguire
I have motherfucking finesse. Just because I speak my mind means I'm not tactful? -- Jamie Mcguire
My sluts? They weren't mine. Hence them being sluts. -- Jamie Mcguire
Oh my God, dude! You were beginning to freak me out. Don't do that to me! What do you really need to talk to me about?" His laughter faded when Thomas didn't crack a smile. "Tommy, knock it off. -- Jamie Mcguire
Even though we'd put each other through hell, we'd found heaven. -- Jamie Mcguire
Are you okay?" Travis asked.
"My hand stings."
He smiled. "That was bad ass, Pidge. I'm impressed. -- Jamie Mcguire
I said I wasn't going to fight with you about Jared anymore, I never said I wasn't going to fight for you. -- Jamie Mcguire
I offered one of my best smiles, but this time it was genuine. It was another one of those Happy Abby moments I sort of wished for these days. -- Jamie Mcguire
Are we going to tell him?"
"It'll be hard to deny with that big-ass rock on your finger. -- Jamie Mcguire
I was in trouble. Big, disastrous, Maddox trouble. -- Jamie Mcguire
You must have voodoo in your hoohoo. -- Jamie Mcguire
That morning, lying with the woman I loved, a silent promise was formed in my head. I was going to be a better man for her, someone she deserved. No more flying off the handle. No more temper tantrums, or violent outbursts. -- Jamie Mcguire
I felt like Winnie the Pooh trying to squeeze into the honey tree. -- Jamie Mcguire
Falyn," Taylor said through his teeth, "I see you've met my brother Tyler." "Tyler?" I asked, wiping his lips from my mouth. "My twin brother," Taylor clarified. -- Jamie Mcguire
If you're that hard up for money, Pidge ... "
"I'm not borrowing money from you," she sneered.
"I was gonna suggest pawning that bracelet." I smiled. -- Jamie Mcguire
I could spend a thousand years trying to block that moment from my memory, and it would still be burned into my mind. -- Jamie Mcguire
And when a Maddox boy falls in love, he loves forever. -- Jamie Mcguire
The snow began to fall again, drifting against the windows, politely begging entrance and then falling with
disappointment to the ground -- Jamie Mcguire
You need to get one thing straight. I am not bossy. I'm the fucking boss. -- Jamie Mcguire
She's not just a Porsche. She's a Porsche nine-one-one GT-three.
There's a difference.Let me guess, it's the love of your life?" I said, quoting Travis'
statement about his motorcycle.
"No, it's a car. The love of my life will be a woman with my last name. -- Jamie Mcguire
My palms flat against the wall of the tile, I clenched my eyes shut. "Please come back" I said quietly. She couldn't hear me, but it didn't stop me from wishing she would come and save me from the terrible pain I felt without her there. -- Jamie Mcguire
This ain't fucking right. He shoulda never been there."
"It was an accident, Travis. You couldn't have known something like this was going to happen," I said, touching his cheek. -- Jamie Mcguire
You were going to make me earn it. You would require a reason to trust me. -- Jamie Mcguire
Say you forgive me. Say you'll take me back. -- Jamie Mcguire
My room was made up of strange, random things, but then, so was I. -- Jamie Mcguire
But Travis Maddox wasn't afraid to fight, or to defend someone he cared about, or to look into the humiliated and angry eyes of a scorned woman. -- Jamie Mcguire
Tell him that I'll keep my promise. By this time tomorrow, he won't miss me. -- Jamie Mcguire
As far as everyone is concerned, I'm in love with you today and tomorrow. -- Jamie Mcguire
A Maddox boy will take you all the way to the edge, but if you go with him, he'll follow you anywhere ... -- Jamie Mcguire
I'm a lesbian." "No, you're not." "Right, but the chances are better for me to become a lesbian than for me to have sex with you. -- Jamie Mcguire
So how you're gonna play this?" Trenton asked.
"Divide and conquer."
"Divide what?"
"His head from the rest of his body."
Trenton nodded quickly. "Good plan. -- Jamie Mcguire
Every anniversary was a victory, a middle finger to everyone who thought we wouldn't last. -- Jamie Mcguire
Like I would buy a beer for some chick at a bar," he said, shaking his head. I held up my beer, and he pulled up one side of his mouth into a half-smile. "You're different. -- Jamie Mcguire
Finch?" I ask him with my best fake smile. "Will you go to the stupid Sig Tau Valentine's Date party with me?"
Finch hugged me to his side. "Yes, But only because you called it stupid. -- Jamie Mcguire
You're my home." -Travis Maddox -- Jamie Mcguire
When I throw a punch they take it and try to reciprocate. That's not gonna win a fight. -- Jamie Mcguire
It means I'm a fuckup, but I'm going to get it figured out. I swear. Just ... don't give up on me, okay? -- Jamie Mcguire
Someone knew I'd need to hold your hand before I ever had one. -- Jamie Mcguire
She did some sort of magic bra trick to get it off and out of her shirt. All women seemed to know the same maneuver. -- Jamie Mcguire
So you would literally take a bullet for me."
"No," Claire said, with zero emotion.
"No?" Ryan said, surprised at her answer.
Claire rolled her eyes, annoyed that she had to answer. "If I have time to stand in the way of a bullet, you have time to move. -- Jamie Mcguire
If you think I'm happy when you're not around, it's because I'm thinking of you. -- Jamie Mcguire
Because, once in a while, Liis, I just need to see your face. I need to hear your voice. Some days are tougher for me than others. -- Jamie Mcguire
I perched my chin on his shoulder and smiled. "That was because you were trying to win our bet."
He angled his neck to face me. "Damn right I was. -- Jamie Mcguire
You have to overlook his demons. It's the only way he'll know."
"Know what?"
"If you'll climb over the wall. -- Jamie Mcguire
Do you two live to torture each other? Shepley frowned. -- Jamie Mcguire
I was annoying her and found it pretty amusing. Girls didn't usually treat me with unadulterated loathing, even when I was showing them the door. -- Jamie Mcguire
I got in so many fights over him and fought next to him. -- Jamie Mcguire
Holy flippindip! It's colder than a frog's ass in January! -- Jamie Mcguire
America's eyes darted in Kara's direction. Good idea, Kara. The fact that you're a total bitch comes in handy sometimes. -- Jamie Mcguire
I didn't sleep with him, Parker. He held my hair while I hurled a pint of Petron in his toilet. That's as romantic as it got. -- Jamie Mcguire
His baby brother is getting married next month - well, not married but remarried. No, that's not right either. -- Jamie Mcguire
Finch eyed me suspiciously, and then smiled. "You are officially the coolest person I know."
"That's sad, Finch. You should get out more," I said, stopping at the cafeteria entrance. -- Jamie Mcguire
I exist for you, Nina. This mortal being so precious to the Creator of the Universe that it allowed for my existence. Tell me that's not incredible. -- Jamie Mcguire
I don't know. Everything's better when you're around. -- Jamie Mcguire
When I'm around you it's all right there for me in an irresistible, tattooed package. -- Jamie Mcguire
Tyler shook his head. "We started out together. We go out together, right?"(...)
Tyler stood up and walked around the table. He held out his hand, and when I grabbed it, he yanked me to my feet. "It's just a desk. You're my brother. -- Jamie Mcguire
I'm done, Travis."
"Don't say that."
"It's over. Go home."
"You're my home. -- Jamie Mcguire
Ugh! Why can't Hell stay where it's at? Why does it always have to break loose? -- Jamie Mcguire
We're over at Dad's. James just won another hand of poker. I'm starting to worry."
"He's your son, Pidge. Does it surprise you that he's good at cards? -- Jamie Mcguire
Abby's lips were locked in a smile, and I couldn't help but stare at her all night. -- Jamie Mcguire
The only thing that made sense were the thoughts on repeat inside my head: I was about to become the husband of the second woman I'd ever loved.
It was almost time. Damn. Shit, yeah! Fuck, yes!
I was getting married! -- Jamie Mcguire
Jared gently pulled my chin to face him. "He said he wouldn't make you choose. But if you don't have a choice, I'm the one that loses. So I'm going to make you choose, Nina. Choose me. Please ... choose me." He shook his head. "I can't live without you. -- Jamie Mcguire
The Red Door was a part of me and being there was an escape right up until the doors closed. I didn't want it to be over. Not even just for the night. After -- Jamie Mcguire
Travis' expression was a mixture of surprise and gratitude. "Now I've seen it all. I was just defended by a girl," he said, standing up. -- Jamie Mcguire
Raegan and I were on the opposite side of town, strutting across the gravel lot of the Red Door, slowly and in unison, as if we were being filmed while walking to a badass soundtrack. -- Jamie Mcguire
I said no strippers, I said, watching dumbfounded as Trenton danced around the room to Britney Spears. -- Jamie Mcguire
No, I like it ... a lot ... but that's a helluva tattoo for a virgin."
He popped the pen back in, freeing up his hand to move the mouse.
I smirked. "If I'm going to lose it, I want to be broken in right."
The pen fell from Trenton's mount to the floor. -- Jamie Mcguire
If I'm going to lose it, I want to be broken in right." The pen fell from Trenton's mouth to the floor, and he bent down to pick it up. "Uh . . . any, uh . . . any special font? -- Jamie Mcguire
Travis smiled. So you wanted to be here with me. I think I just fell in love with you all over again. -- Jamie Mcguire
I think you're making a mistake," she whispered. "You don't need to go that party to meet a guy, you've got one that's crazy about you right here," she said, leaving me alone. -- Jamie Mcguire
Maybe he used a bit too much hair spray, but the James Dean coif flattered him. -- Jamie Mcguire
The only thing I'm thinking about right now is holding you in my arms all night. -- Jamie Mcguire
Abby's expression made me falter; she was afraid of what she'd just seen. She swallowed, and took a step back. Her fear only made me more angry, not at her, but because I was ashamed of myself. -- Jamie Mcguire
I awoke on my stomach, naked and tangled in Travis Maddox's sheets. I kept my eyes closed, feeling his fingers caressing my arm and back.
He exhaled with a deep, contented sigh, speaking in a hushed voice. I love you, Abby. I'm going to make you happy, I swear it. -- Jamie Mcguire
Oh, this sounds promising. I guess we should have known two control freaks weren't going to get along. -- Jamie Mcguire
I don't want to sleep with you, Pidge. I like you too much. -- Jamie Mcguire
It'd better. God owes me one, more than one. -- Jamie Mcguire
This place is going to be destroyed in the morning. The cleanup crew is going to be busy."
"You have a cleanup crew?"
"Yeah", he smiled, "We call them freshmen. -- Jamie Mcguire
God, I want you so fucking bad. -- Jamie Mcguire
I wish you could see yourself through my eyes. Every woman who's met you wants a shot at you. How could you ever think you're the consolation prize? -- Jamie Mcguire
Bagged her? What does that even mean?" I asked, already wishing I hadn't. "Intimate relations. Intercourse. Coitus. Doing the deed. Nookie. Fornicating. Laying pipe. Screwing. Sex. Tapping that ass. Fucking. Need I go on? -- Jamie Mcguire
He watched me rake my fingers through the tangles in my hair and smiled.
"Quit it. You're fucking beautiful."
"Just point me to the nearest eighties rock video," I said. -- Jamie Mcguire
You're not a fucking backup plan, Cami! Why are you letting someone treat you like one? -- Jamie Mcguire
I loved him, and no matter what my reasons were to live without him, I knew it wasn't what I wanted. -- Jamie Mcguire
Travis: We have to be friends. I won't take no for an answer.
Abby: I don't mind being friends, but that doesn't mean you have to try to get in my panties every five seconds. -- Jamie Mcguire
Ssh, I'm counting." Travis watched me for a moment, and then leaned down to kiss my neck. "I can't concentrate while you're doing tha ... -- Jamie Mcguire
You're a lunatic!"
Travis chuckled, leaning his bike onto its kickstand before dismounting. "I went the speed limit."
"Yeah, if we were on the Autobahn! -- Jamie Mcguire
Jared cupped my jaw and his thumb brushed my cheek. 'As long as you heart is beating, so is mine -- Jamie Mcguire
Is that from the fight or the window?"
"The window," he answered, frowning at my bloodied nails.
"You saved my life, you know."
His eyebrows pulled together. "I wasn't leaving without you."
"I knew you'd come," I smiled, squeezing his fingers between mine. -- Jamie Mcguire
Pros before bros. -- Jamie Mcguire
I'm not trying to bag you. I just wanna hang out."
"Bag me? How do you ever get laid talking like that? -- Jamie Mcguire
Together we kept that machine greased like a stripper in a plastic pool full of baby oil. -- Jamie Mcguire
Abby pulled me closer to her. Each movement she made was further affirmation of her answer. She felt the same. She cared about me. She wanted me. I wanted to run around the block screaming in celebration, and at the same time, didn't want to move my mouth from hers. -- Jamie Mcguire
I'm not her buddy. I'm her boyfriend, and I'll knock you the fuck out before you can scratch the paint. -- Jamie Mcguire
Who would have thought from the first time we met that we'd be sitting here? You couldn't have told me three months ago that I'd be this miserable over saying goodbye to a girl. -- Jamie Mcguire
You are a complete asshole, you know that?"
"I've been called worse," he said, helping me off the stool. -- Jamie Mcguire
I even got a pretty good handle on which week I shouldn't give her any extra shit, which fortunately for Shepley, was the same week not to fuck with America. That way, we had three weeks to not be on guard instead of two, and we could give each other fair warning. -- Jamie Mcguire
We're not wounded, Liis. We're matching scars. -- Jamie Mcguire
I lost someone I loved before, and it changed me. I gave up someone I loved before, and it crushed me. I know that when you leave, Liis, however it goes down ... it will end me. -- Jamie Mcguire
I loved her first," Thomas said. "But you, Liis ... you are the last woman I will ever love. -- Jamie Mcguire
It hasn't seemed like home since you left, he said, kissing my lips. -- Jamie Mcguire
Although he seemed frustrated with the situation regarding Parker, I had the distinct feeling he enjoyed seeing me so happy. -- Jamie Mcguire
Mrs. Maddox?"
I smiled. "Yes?"
"Nothing. I just wanted to call you
that."
"Good. I kind of like it. -- Jamie Mcguire
I shot it back and closed my eyes, considering a trip to the liquor store. But there wasn't enough whiskey in the universe to help me make my decision. -- Jamie Mcguire
Fuck you, whore, I am not a mean drunk . -- Jamie Mcguire
He was afraid of nothing. Until he'd met me. -- Jamie Mcguire
What are we doing, Cami?" he asked. "What is this? -- Jamie Mcguire
Travis punched his palm. "Do you want me to go beat the piss out of Finch? Teach him a lesson? I'll take him out."
I couldn't help but smile. "If I wanted to take Finch out, I'd just tell him Prada went out of business, and he'd finish the job for me. -- Jamie Mcguire
I love you no matter what, but you need to wake up, Ellie."
My eyebrows pulled together as I stared at the wall. "I can't wake up. This isn't a dream. -- Jamie Mcguire
Watching Abby own my brothers
hand after hand was turning me on. I'd never seen a woman so sexy in my life, and this one happened to be my girlfriend.-pg 257/ARC -- Jamie Mcguire
Why buy the cow if you get the milk for free?' I bet she woulda said yes if you woulda made her wait to share your bed." I -- Jamie Mcguire
Each time I did something to push him away, I was terrified it would work. -- Jamie Mcguire
I shut the door behind me. "Are you listening?"
Thomas lifted his chin. "I'll start listening when you do. -- Jamie Mcguire
Taylor's truth was just out of reach, like my own, so I knew where to look and how to find it. The only way to see into someone's soul was with your own. -- Jamie Mcguire
We weren't rich, but I don't remember wanting for anything. -- Jamie Mcguire
Your observations aren't always correct. Sometimes, things go deeper than what you see on the surface. -- Jamie Mcguire
My front door had seen jean skirts, dresses, even a see-through tube dress over a string bikini. A handful of times, spackled-on makeup and glitter lotion. Never pajamas. -- Jamie Mcguire
You made plenty, Abby. We just wanted to tide ourselves over until next year ... unless you'd like to do this all over again at Christmas. You're a Maddox, now. I expect you at every holiday, and not to cook. -- Jamie Mcguire
It's good for him. No man should get every woman he wants. Keeps their douchebaggery to a tolerable level. -- Jamie Mcguire
Should be a pleasant flight, Mr. and soon-to-be Mrs. Ryel," the pilot said. Jared's grin stretched the width of his face. "I might have paid him extra to say that." "I figured as much," I teased. -- Jamie Mcguire
Our love, in all its imperfection, was perfect. -- Jamie Mcguire
It was a running joke; everyone was aware of how ridiculous the rumor mill was, and yet they all shamelessly participated in it. -- Jamie Mcguire
He was mine, and I was his. If I knew anything at all, it was that only those two things mattered. -- Jamie Mcguire
I guess the beautiful disaster turned into a beautiful wedding."
"Miracles do happen," I said remembering the conversation she and I had what seemed like a lifetime ago. -- Jamie Mcguire
But I knew that it wasn't fair to either of us to hold on just when he had let go. - Abby Abernathy -- Jamie Mcguire
Shut the door when you're finished being in my business, I said, resting my head next to Abby's. -- Jamie Mcguire
In another life, I could love you. -- Jamie Mcguire
My need to be around Abby Abernathy overruled any rational thought. It had always been that way, and I imagined it always would. -- Jamie Mcguire
I stood my ground, staring straight into his eyes. "You didn't do anything to me. Since when is sex so life or death to you?" -Abby Abernathy
"Since it was with you!" -Travis Maddox -- Jamie Mcguire
It's over. Go home.
You're my home. -- Jamie Mcguire
I don't need you to save me. I just need a little help to save myself. -- Jamie Mcguire
I'm just so bwessed. -- Jamie Mcguire
He pulled my chin up so that I would face him. I know you deserve better than me. You think I don't know that? But if there was any woman made for me ... it's you. I'll do whatever I have to do, Pidge. Do you hear me? I'll do anything. -- Jamie Mcguire
Goodbye, Ellie Edson. It's been fun." "Fun Ellie is dead. All that's left is broke-and-alone Ellie," I teased. Tyler stopped. "She's not dead. Just transitioning. Like a butterfly." "That's deep, Maddox." "I've been deeper," he said with a smirk, -- Jamie Mcguire
The women that were worth that kind of heart-break wouldn't let you fall for them so easy. They wouldn't bend over your couch, or allow you to charm them into their bedroom on the first night - or even the tenth. -- Jamie Mcguire
My God, that woman was fucking sexy. She didn't even have to try, and all I wanted was to be all up in her business. Now that we were engaged that didn't sound like such a bastard thing to think. -- Jamie Mcguire
He squeezed my hand. "All I am is all we are. -- Jamie Mcguire
The moment. When I watch you sleeping, that peace on your face? This is it. I haven't had it since before my mom died, but I can feel it again. -- Jamie Mcguire
I belonged with them because I belonged to them. -- Jamie Mcguire
Say what you want. Being a psychotic asshole has it's perks. -- Jamie Mcguire
I have to say, I was a bit nervous about picking up the woman Travis Maddox is in love with ... from his apartment. You don't know how many people have accused me of insanity today. -- Jamie Mcguire
Did you just insinuate I'm comparable to Chuck Norris? Because I'll take that. -- Jamie Mcguire
I don't blame you for wanting to defend your brother, Jess, but you have to let him fight some battles on his own."
"I will. Just not when he's on the ground. -- Jamie Mcguire
I have been salivating. Whatever you're making smells so good. -- Jamie Mcguire
Because even if we were struggling, we had goals. It didn't matter that we weren't there yet. What mattered is that we both experienced setbacks, and full-blown failures, but we got up, brushed ourselves off, and kept going-and were making the best of it. -- Jamie Mcguire
Everything that's happened since we met has led to this moment. There is only one woman I've loved before you, and there will never be another after you. -- Jamie Mcguire
I thought I was going to sweat five years before I'd feel like this."
"I wanted it as much as you did. I've just got a hell of a poker face" I smiled, pressing my lips against his. -- Jamie Mcguire
You're supposed to be Easterns' ladies man. I'm not getting the full freshman experience they promised in the brochure. -- Jamie Mcguire
I turned away from his grip, ashamed that I couldn't tell him the truth. I was the one that wasn't good enough. I would be the one to ruin everything; to ruin him. He would hate me one day, and I couldn't see the look in his eye when he came to that conclusion. -- Jamie Mcguire
You found a dress?" he asked, smiling.
"Yeah," I wrapped my legs and arms around him. Tomorrow it's going to be your turn to be freaked out."
"I'm looking forward to it. -- Jamie Mcguire
He'll make it beautiful, won't you?" I asked.Trenton turned on the machine, and then looked at me with a soft expression. "You're already beautiful. -- Jamie Mcguire
You know what I hate?" I asked.
Trenton had desperation in his eyes. "Me. I know. I just ... I'm a selfish, insecure idiot."
"Yes. -- Jamie Mcguire
It's not funny. Do you want the whole school to think I'm one of your sluts?"
Travis frowned. "No one thinks that. And if they do, they better hope I don't hear about it. -- Jamie Mcguire
I've never understood how something could be considered a curse that requires me to spend every moment with you, and that grants me the mercy of leaving a world that doesn't have you in it. -- Jamie Mcguire
Lie." "Well, now," she said, sitting up and crossing her arms, "look who is honing her craft. -- Jamie Mcguire
I shut the door and turned, crossing my arms. "I am not in the mood to Dr. Phil you two. I can't figure out my own shit. -- Jamie Mcguire
Love isn't about predictions or behavioural markers. It just happens, and you have no control. -- Jamie Mcguire
His jaw was tensed, but it was no longer the frightening expression he had in the cafeteria. He seemed sad. The deep, hopeless kind. -- Jamie Mcguire
Mick called Benny. Passed accountability onto me."
"I'm gonna kill him! I'm going to kill that sorry son-of-a-bitch!" America shouted. -- Jamie Mcguire
If it feels this good to have this on my arm, I can't imagine how it's going to feel to get a ring on your finger. -- Jamie Mcguire
I've heard you're the only person who's allowed to put Travis in his place. That's an honorable title. -- Jamie Mcguire
You are the most confusing woman I've ever met. -- Jamie Mcguire
I've loved every version of you there's ever been. I'll love whoever comes back. My -- Jamie Mcguire
You are the weirdest couple, I said over the bass. It was buzzing in my chest, and I was fairly certain every beat made my bones shake. -- Jamie Mcguire
Comfortable? I'm fucking cashmere. -- Jamie Mcguire
You two have just reached the level of annoyingly cute, America grinned. -- Jamie Mcguire
I now understand the whole jumping on the couch and punching the floor thing. I don't know how to express how I feel! Where's Oprah? -- Jamie Mcguire
Hazel said you're not coming in. You okay?" "Uh ... " "Are you sick?" "No." "Then why aren't you coming to work?" "I have a bad case of awkward as fuck. -- Jamie Mcguire
The blue lights reflected on Abby's face, and I had to really concentrate through the liquor not to kiss her. -- Jamie Mcguire
His features were taught, unaffected by my expression. If this is really it ... if you're really done with me ... will you let me hold you tonight? -- Jamie Mcguire
I'm a firefighter, Ellie. I do the saving in this relationship. -- Jamie Mcguire
You have to weigh the joy against the risk. -- Jamie Mcguire
Once she kissed me, my heart slowed, and every muscle in my body relaxed. How much I needed her terrified me. -pg 252/ARC -- Jamie Mcguire
Abs? What are you, a workout video? -- Jamie Mcguire
I pressed my lips against his shirt. When I think about my future I see you. -- Jamie Mcguire
Don't you know by now?" Thomas said, touching his lips to my hair. "It's somewhere in the unforeseen when the best, most important moments of our lives seem to happen. -- Jamie Mcguire
Is your ass jealous of the amount of shit that comes out of your mouth? -- Jamie Mcguire
Abs - all the assholes had them. Four to six muscles were like a graph chart to show just how big of a douche bag the guy was. -- Jamie Mcguire
You look lost," Benji said. "Isn't everyone? -- Jamie Mcguire
Even when we wanted to look away, we would have to stare ugly things in the face just to stay alive. -- Jamie Mcguire
It would never work, Ellie." "Why?" "Because we're friends, and I want to continue to be friends." "You just told me to kill myself." He chuckled. "I didn't mean it. -- Jamie Mcguire
He laughed once. Unbelievable. The one girl I want, and she doesn't want me. -- Jamie Mcguire
He expects me to believe he is a ... he's my ... guardial angel! -- Jamie Mcguire
I choked back something welling up in my chest. Every few minutes, the pain renewed itself. I missed her. God, I missed her, and everything we'd gone through played over and over inside my head. -- Jamie Mcguire
Can you believe how ridiculous they are? The girls here are shameless," America said. Finch shook his head in awe. "It's Travis. I think it's the bad-boy thing. They either want to save him, or think they're immune to his wicked ways. I'm not sure which. -- Jamie Mcguire
I was in love with her; couldn't imagine my life without her in it; but at the same time, I wanted her to have better. -- Jamie Mcguire
If you don't back away from my girl, I'll rip out your fucking throat. Right here on the dance floor. -- Jamie Mcguire
Travis grabbed my wrists and wrapped them around his middle. "There's nothing to hold on to but me, Pidge. Don't let go," he said pushing the bike backward with his feet. -- Jamie Mcguire
Don't leave this time, okay? I wanna wake up just like this in the morning."
