Would serve him right for breathing the same air as someone as exquisite as she is.
I don’t know what I’m afraid of. Just that I am.
“I’m not going to fight with you over her—” “You’re right, you’re not. We aren’t fighting at all. You were just leaving.”
“You mean that asshole felt you up, but didn’t offer a beverage first?”
Fuck, how I could ruin this man.
drinking was never a problem for me. Not like pills were for her. It was always just something I did in an attempt to make the emptiness inside me a little less glaring.
“You paid five million dollars for a night with a stranger?” “I paid for an adventure.”
“Do you realize how many girls would kill to be in your position right now?” Shifting my weight from side to side, I purse my lips. “Why don’t you go hang out with one of them?” “No refunds

Wish I could erase that night after the charity gala from my mind for good. But when sleep overtakes me, it’s thoughts of her I drift off to.

And when an artist has a muse, even if that muse is toxic and life-ruining, they don’t stop seeking them out.
I’m pretty sure seeing a therapist would only result in me being committed.
every cell in my body screams out for her, like sheep helpless against the slaughter.

when you spend so long adopting everyone else’s resentment, that bitter, insecure feeling becomes part of you.
“You didn’t think I’d forget, did you?”

“Do you make a habit of going around and kissing girls in random restaurants, or is Dahlia’s special?” Dahlia’s isn’t. Riley is.
“You make me uncomfortable.”
