“Sydney: Don’t try to use my own words against me.
Adrian: Why? They were damned good ones. You’re not a victim. You’re not a captive to that lily. You can be what you want. You can choose what you want.
Sydney: You’re right. And I don’t choose you. That’s what you’re missing in all of this.
Adrian: I don’t believ you.
Sydney: Let me guess. Because I kissed you back?

Adrian: I don’t think I need to.
Sydney: If you know me so well, then you’ll understand why I’m leaving.
Adrian: Sydney …
Sydney: Goodbye, Adrian.”

“Adrian: No, you will listen. For once, you’re going to hear somethin that doesn’t fit into your neat, compartmentalized world of order and logic and reason. Because this isn’t reasonable. If your’re terrified, believe me – this scares the hell out of me, too. You asked about Rose? I tried tob e a better person for her – but it was to impress her, to get her to want me. But when I’m arbound you, I want to be better because … well, because it feels right. Because I want to. You make me want to become something greater than myself. I want to excel. You inspire me in every act, every word, every glance. I look at you, and you’re like … like light made into flesh. I said it on Halloween and meant every word: you are the most beautiful creature I have ever seen walking this earth. And you don’t even know it. You have no clue how beautiful you are or how brightly you shine. And i know, Sage. I know how you guys feel about us. I’m not stupid, and believe me, I’ve tried to get you out of my head. But there isn’t enough liquor or art or any other distraction in the world to do it. I had to stop going to Wolfe’s because it was too hard being that close to you, even i fit was all just pretend fighting. I couldn’t stand the touching. It was agonizing because it meant something to me – and I knew it meant nothing to you. I kept telling myself to stay away altogehter, and then I’d find excuses … like the car … anything to be around you again. Hayden was an asshole, but at least as long as you were involved with him, i had a reason to keep my distance.”

“Adrian: Not even Moroi give licenses to infants, Sage.
Sydney: Don’t dodge this. You know what I mean. You’ve known how to drive stick for years. Why? Why would you do that? Why would you act like you didn’t know how to drive?
Adrian: Isn’t it obvious, Sage? No, of course it isn’t. I did it so I’d have a reason to be around you – one I knew you couldn’t refuse.
Sydney: But … why? Why would you want to do that?
Adrian: Why? Because it was the closest I could get to doing this.”
