“Revenge is a dish best served cold... Now that I agree with. It means they forget you're coming for them, and their screams sound so much prettier when the time finally comes.”

“Have you seen my other girlfriends? Have you seen Kennedy Monroe? She's nothing like any of them. She's short. Her teeth are crooked. She barely wears any makeup. She doesn't self-tan, wear extensions, or dye her hair. She's a totally plain, unremarkable person. She's the epitome of ordinary.”

“She's pretty, but her face doesn't transform into sunlight when she talks about music.” He did that clench thing with his jaw and said, “She's funny, but not spit-out-your-drink-in-astonishment funny.” It felt like my heart was going to explode as his eyes moved down to my lips under the glow of the buzzing streetlight. He moved his face a little closer to mine, looked into my eyes, and rumbled, “And when I see her, I don't feel like I have to talk to her or mess up her hair or do something—anything—to get her to swing that gaze on me.”
“Do you realize we could've been doing this for years if you weren't such a pain in the ass?”“Nah—I didn't like you until recently.”
