“For a moment—not even a moment, a split second—I imagine him saying, 'The truth is, I'm desperately attracted to you.' And then I imagine myself spitting in his face. And then I imagine licking it off his cheek and kissing him. (Because I'm disturbed. Ask anyone.)”

“Snow was a wreck at dinner.

“Sharing a room with the person you want most is like sharing a room with an open fire.

But you do it anyway.
And then...
Well. Then you burn.”
― Rainbow Rowell, Carry On
