Part of Your World (Part of Your World, #1)

“Don’t let them decide the life you’re going to live. You only get one.”

Then I noticed my black hoodie was missing from the hook by the front door.

“Grace costs you nothing. My grandma used to say it. She especially liked to say it to herself when I was being a little shit.”

Sometimes what you have to give is enough. Even if it’s a rock instead of a diamond.”

My vagina has officially been closed so long I’m afraid a Spirit Halloween is going to move in.”

It’s amazing how someone can touch you, even if you only know them for a moment in time. How they can change you, alter you indelibly.

“I believe you. I can handle anything you need to tell me. You don’t need to protect me from the truth and I’m here to help you in any way I can. It’s not your fault. And you don’t deserve it.”

“I love you,” he whispered. “We are together. This isn’t over. And even if you leave, it won’t be over because you’ll take the love with you and it’ll bring you back.”

Love follows you. It goes where you go. It doesn’t know about social divides or distance or common sense. It doesn’t even stop when the person you love dies. It does what it wants.

This was the price of their prejudice. Grace would have cost them nothing.

There’s something more final than forever. It’s never. Never is infinite.
