“In the heights of emotional distress, sometimes your loved ones can’t fill the answers you are longing for to wipe away the tears in your eyes, it’s your friends, somehow, that un-noticeably comforted you. It is to them you could share your hidden sentiments that you are trying to conceal.”

“I do want you, Karlie. More than I should.”

“I knew you’d ruin me … I knew I’d be in over my head … And now here I am, drowning in you and all that you are. And I’ll be damned if I want to break the surface.”

“What would you have me do to prove it? Strip you down ’til you’re wearing nothing but that sassy little smile? Tease you relentlessly until you can’t take it anymore and you’re screamin’ my name?”

“I’m trying to be good here, Karlie. But you’re making it damn hard to resist.”

“You can’t be unlovable, Han, because I f**king love you.”

“How can she take my ‘no’ seriously when my dick is saying, ‘yes?”

“Just putting your acting skills to the test. You adapted and played the role exceptionally well.”

“Marc had grown up, gotten away from the partying lifestyle that made him feel as if his mere presence was a gift to those around him and knew himself for what he’d truly been back then. A fool. Hopelessly in love with a friend who’d never wanted more from him than he’d already given. This weekend, Marc hoped to change that.”

“I realized I’m in love. It’s always been right in front of me.”
