Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Just out of interest, where would you stab me?”
“In the voice box, probably. Seems it’ll be the only way to get you to shut up.”
“Find someone else to stroke your ego, Vincenzo.”
“Where’d you learn to swim like that? Why don’t you like Alex? He’s a good guy, really, you know? Has your roommate stabbed you yet? Have you stabbed your roommate yet? Did you have the salad or the pie at dinner last night? We honestly thought you’d drowned at the swim trials. Alex was delighted. Did you nearly drown? Want some gum? Shit, I forgot my gum. Have you got any gum?”
“Doing a tremendous job of convincing me you’re not obsessed with me, Twist. Do you shout my name in your dreams, too?”
“Only when it’s a nightmare.”
“So I’m on your mind.”
“How old are you, Ophelia?”
“Twenty-one.”
“Quite old.”
“Don’t make me chase you.”
“I have stamina.”
“I struggle with asking for help.”
“Oh my god. She’s becoming self-aware.”
“If you end up being the death of me, Winters, I couldn’t ask for a better end.”
“You are my worst enemy,”
“Then I’ll love you with the same intensity that you hate me. I’ll hold on to you just as hard as you push me away. I’ll fix you like you’re fixing me. I’ll always be here, Ophelia, I’ll sit at the bottom of valleys and stand on the top of mountains with you. We’re too good not to work.”
