Verity

by Colleen Hoover

It’s what you do when you’ve experienced the worst of the worst. You seek out people like you…people worse off than you…and you use them to make yourself feel better about the terrible things that have happened to you.

the idea of me is better than the reality of me.

I’m not looking for my fifteen minutes of fame. I’m looking for a paycheck.

You can’t look at someone the way he looked at me—with the entirety of his past—without also imagining the future.

And that’s what love at first sight is. It isn’t really love at first sight until you’ve been with the person long enough for it to become love at first sight.
