Kindle Notes & Highlights
As far back as my great-great-great-grandfather, it’s been said that Buchanan men fall in love only once, and they fall in love—real, true love—the moment they meet the one.
Then, then she gave me a real smile—white teeth, pink lips, tiny dimple on the right side—and I never, ever got my heart back.
"Sonic," he said quietly. "I hate that nickname." "No, you don't. There's nothing more appropriate for you than a prickly little hedgehog who wheels around like a bat out of hell."

Jocelyn has all this fire in her. It's one of the things I love most about that girl, but sometimes she uses it as a weapon rather than a way to burn off the stuff that holds her back."
And if I love but once in this cruel, weary world, well, I'm glad I loved once with you.
"I don't know what terms to use, Sonic. Fate or destiny or a curse, all I know is that once I met you, there'd never be anyone else. Not ever."
