“Have you ever seen the movie Taken? Because I have, and my father is no Liam Neeson. He doesn’t have any special skills, and he will definitely not come find me.”
“Meg?” I think that’s the name the guy called her. “I don’t have much. Not even a ring to give you, but I’d be the luckiest guy in the world if you were my wife. Will you marry me?” “Aww,” the girls say in unison behind me. And that’s when Meg slaps me. Not hard, but enough to shock me. “No, I will not marry you. You cheated on me with my best friend, Candi.” “What a jerk,” the girls mumble, dropping their phones in disgust. “Come on. Let’s get out of here.”
“Well, someone should hit that. He’s this school’s McSteamy.”

“How do I look?” “You look like a desperate man who's obsessed with a woman that doesn't like him back,” Logan says.
“Can we pretend that I don’t have any jumper cables? Or pretend that I can’t leave Krew all alone to drive you to your car? Can you just stay here tonight with me? On the couch like this? I swear we won’t do anything but sleep.”
“You’re right. I don’t need you. I see that now. But Meg, I want you. You’re the person I want to be with. The person I want to turn to when I've just won the championship.
