Dead End Quotes

“She reached down and brushed a stray lock of hair off his forehead. She'd done it before and he liked it.”
― Nancy Mehl, Dead End

“The urge to kiss him was strong. Instead, she patted his unwrapped shoulder. "Be good," she said, her voice husky. Before she said or did anything embarrassing, she left the room, almost running into a woman carrying a tray into Noah's room. Kaely apologized and hurried down the hall. She was having feelings for Noah she couldn't handle. She wanted him in her life, but things couldn't go on like this. They just couldn't. Her job was everything to her, and she couldn't allow anything to get in the way. Even Noah.”

As Noah came back to sit down, Kaely looked away from him. Did she truly love him? It's not possible. She didn't want to love anyone. She wasn't ready.”

“Kaely pushed herself off the arm of the couch and plopped down next to him. She leaned her head against his shoulder.
"Thank you. I'm not sure I could do this without you. I'll be fine. Really."
Her assurance sounded hollow. Kaely would do whatever she had to do to prepare herself for what she would face. But could she pull it off? Noah fought against the urge to stroke her hair. If he said too much, made the wrong move, he could lose himself in her. And he couldn't take that chance. Not now. Not ever. He quelled the rush of emotion that surged through him.
"We're friend and partners," he said in carefully measured tones. "I meant it when I told you I'll always be there when you need me. Always.”
