Save One Thing Quotes

“My fingers twitched, wanting to dig. To find her darkness. Expose it to the light. And see if it matched my own. This year. This year, I’d find out.”
― Julia Wolf, Save One Thing

“I will never understand you, Savage.” “You don’t have to. I know what I’m doing and that’s all that really matters to me.” “There are girls who would fall on their knees for you at the snap of your fingers. You know that, don’t you?” “I do know that.” My nostrils flared. “But why in the hell would I want that? They’d do the same for half the seniors here. There would be no meaning behind it.” “The meaning would be having your dick sucked in a consensual act.” He noticed my flinch, but since he did know me well, he didn’t acknowledge it. “Fuck. Forget that. All I’m saying is, things could be a lot easier. You don’t have to choose the most difficult path, though I know you love a challenge.” “Easy paths are boring.”

“What’s happening with you, Beck? You keep disappearing on me lately.” I shrugged. Out of anyone, Rhys was the person I shared the most with. He might’ve been an asshole, but he was a loyal one. “A shrug? That’s all I get? Where did you wander off to this weekend? I know you didn’t go home since I wasn’t treated to a rundown of Gretchen’s latest procedures and how big of a douche Josh is.” I shot him a sharp look. “I’ll be sure to keep my repetitive complaints to myself.” “You misunderstand me, you overly sensitive twat. You complaining about your parents is like a comfort meal to me. Knowing Josh and Gretchen are up to their same old antics means the world is still on its axis, even if it feels like it’s falling apart.”

“I could not believe my ears. “Banter? Insulting a girl’s body is not banter! You and I were bantering but—” “Wait, we’re not now?” “No.” My fingers curved into a fist. “I’m yelling at you.” “You yell very gently.” He scratched the side of his sweaty head. “It’s not unpleasant.” Frustration ripped through me. I hadn’t thought of Beckett often since we first met, having filed him away with Charles, Rhys, and the rest of the rich, stuck-up, egotistical douche lords of his ilk, but for a second, I’d considered maybe he was different. I’d clearly been wrong. Beckett might not have made fat jokes, but he’d stood by while they were being made, and that was just as bad. I stuck my hand out. “Can you give me my earbuds back? I have to go to practice, and so do you.” He made no move to comply. “I thought we were talking.” I shook my hand. “Right, well, that’s done. Earbuds, please.” I felt his gaze on the side of my face for a long time but stared straight ahead. Finally, he sighed, and from the corner of my eye, I watched him stick his hand in his pocket.”

“Out of the group Beckett hung around with, Charles was the worst. He was an eighties high school movie villain. If he had changed his name to Blaine and flipped his collar, he would have fit in seamlessly.”

“You didn’t sit with me at breakfast,” he murmured, pushing my hair back from my face. “I don’t think I’m ready to share meals with Rhys and Charles.” I shrugged. “And I like my girl time in the mornings.” He lifted his chin. “Charles and Rhys are dead to me. You’ll sit with me at dinner.”

“I’m not kissing anyone until I kiss Luciana. No matter how long it takes, she’ll be worth the wait.”
― Julia Wolf, Save One Thing

“Sweat beaded my forehead, and during a time-out, Beckett had produced a hair tie from his pocket for me to pull my hair back in a ponytail.”
― Julia Wolf, Save One Thing

“I’m not, Luc. My patience is miles long when something is important to me. That little scuzzy cunt Johnny is not important to me in the least. There was no way I would let the things he had to say stand.”
― Julia Wolf, Save One Thing

“I rolled down the window. “Need help?” Her fingers raked through her hair. “No. Unless you can change a flat.” “Sorry. Not in my skill set.” I could, but I wasn’t going to. Not today.”
― Julia Wolf, Save One Thing

“Pulling me into the railing, bringing our chests together, he inched the ball from my grasp, rolling it up my back until he had it in his palm, then tossed it over his shoulder, but didn’t seem to be in a hurry to leave.”
― Julia Wolf, Save One Thing

“As if he knew I’d been watching him specifically. I mean, he was right, but he didn’t need to know that.”

― Julia Wolf, Save One Thing
