Tied Up In You Quotes

“If there was anyone who could sniff out Malina's self-doubt and tear it to shreds, it was me. It was just that sometimes it was easier to avoid thinking about home when I was several states or countries away. It made the distance sting less.”

“Despite what she said, it wasn't okay. I'd kiss my best friend. I acted like an idiot who didn't know how to human, not the confident hockey player who kissed girls all the time.

“Jackson and I had started to grow apart the past year as he focused more on hockey and I focused more on school. It sucked and I would have liked to hear from him a whole lot more than I did, but I also knew it was inevitable.
