When We Were Reckless Quotes

“You’re worth it, Quinn. You’re worth everything.”
― Emery Rose, When We Were Reckless

“Love shouldn’t have to be this hard. You shouldn’t have to work so hard to make someone fall in love with you. I ignored that voice.
Because love was a leap of faith, wasn’t it? It was risky to put your heart on the line.
Love could heal you, or it could destroy you.
What was braver, or more foolish, than offering up your heard to someone and saying, Take it. It’s yours. Treat it with care. It’s fragile and breakable.
Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I knew that because I was that fool.”
― Emery Rose, When We Were Reckless

“What did you want to do?” I knew what she’d wanted, but sick fuck that I was, I wanted to hear her say it. “What did you want to do?” I asked again.
“You know…”
“Not really. No idea what you’re talking about.” She exhaled loudly. “Say it.”
“I wanted to see you…touch you…taste you,” Quinn said, her voice low.
“See what? Touch what? Taste what? I thought you wanted to be a writer. Use your words.”
She hugged out a breath. “Your…” She cleared her throat and averted her gaze. “Penis.”
A laugh burst out of me. “My penis? I haven’t heard that word since Sex Ed in middle school.”

“Love makes you reckless. All logic and reason flew out the window, and you let your emotions take the driver’s seat.
You took your chances, pretending to be brave while you ignored the consequences.
That’s how it was for me, anyway.”
― Emery Rose, When We Were Reckless
