“It's the clever and bloody-minded ones that get you in the end. When they let you in, it's better than getting a Nobel Prize."
I enjoyed being called both smart and stubborn, but the rest of Tommy's words left me feeling like I'd been blinded by a spotlight. "We're not..."
"We're not like that." Leo talked over me in a rush. "We're just colleagues."
I nodded, ignoring the feeling that a link was forming between us, something stronger than just saving the store.”

“You know what it's like when you see a rainbow?" I said carefully, like I was walking along a narrow, high wall, resisting the urge to put my arms out for balance.
"Yeah?" she answered just as slowly.
"Like everyone stops to look at it, to appreciate it, because you can't help but take in all those colors? That's what it's been like, having you at the shop. You walk into a room and everything gets more vivid, and people can't help but feel... joyful."
My unspoken words floated in the air between us.
You make me smile. You make me laugh. When you open your mouth and say something saucy, all I can think about is the curve of your lips.”
