He held me against him gently, as if I was glass - as if I could shatter and fall away from him at any moment and leave him breathless and alone once more.

More quotes by Alexandra Bracken
Sometimes the darkness lives inside you, and sometimes it wins.
Alexandra Bracken
I think maybe the most frustrating feeling in the world is to have something to say buy not know how to put it into words. To have lived through something but not be able to get it out of you before it festers.
Alexandra Bracken
Because she knows what it's like to live in a world of black, and black, and the tiny bit of white, but when she escaped it, she didn't find the rainbow of colors, the dresses, the singing, the dancing. She only found ugliness.
Alexandra Bracken
Owain crossed his arms over his chest. I've gone straight. Only good, clean jobs for me now. So, in other words, North said, you're living in poverty?
Alexandra Bracken
Dear Dad, When you sent me to school that morning, I thought you loved me. But now I see you for what you are. You called me a monster and a freak. But you’re the one that raised me.
Alexandra Bracken
The thing that scares me is that some part of me understands where they're coming from. They took everything from us, you know? Why shouldn’t we be able to take it back if we have the power to?
Alexandra Bracken
The darkest minds never fade in the afterlight.
Alexandra Bracken
Maybe we had just gotten too used to being alone-- and maybe that needed to change.
Alexandra Bracken
Seeing that my words had done absolutely nothing to pull North from whatever depths he was clinging to, Owain did what came naturally. He smacked North upside the head hard enough to send him sprawling into the window. And when it seemed that North would turn around and return the favor, Owain hit him again, harder.
Alexandra Bracken
It feels like we should do something, he said. Like, send her off on a barge out to sea and set her on fire. Let her go out in a blaze of glory. Chubs raised an eyebrow. It's a minivan, not a Viking.
Alexandra Bracken
I pulled myself from his mind, day by day, piece by piece, memory by memory, until there was nothing of Ruby left to weigh him down or keep him bound to my side.
Alexandra Bracken
Ruby, give me one reason why we can’t be together, and I’ll give you a hundred why we can. We can go anywhere you want. I’m not your parents. I’m not going to abandon you or send you away, not ever.
Alexandra Bracken
We want you. We wanted you yesterday, we want you today and we'll want you tomorrow. There's nothing you could do to change that.
Alexandra Bracken
—I don't want to lose you —Then why are you the one that keeps letting go?
Alexandra Bracken
What I’m trying to get at is, as bad as everything seems, I think, at its heart, life is good. It doesn’t throw anything at us that it knows we can’t handle—and, even if it takes its time, it turns everything right side up again.
Alexandra Bracken
Everyone is just making the choices they think will help them get by.
Alexandra Bracken
No spinning, I said. I wasn't sure my head or heart could take it. Up close, he was so warm, and so beautiful. I was already dizzy enough.
Alexandra Bracken
I think I'm losing it—I don't know what's happening, what happened, but I look at you, I look at you, and I love you so much. Not because of anything you've said, or done, or anything at all. I look at you, and I just love you, and it terrifies me. It terrifies me what I would do for you.
Alexandra Bracken
A moment later, Liam's bright blue eyes opened, and he was seeing me. He just wasn't seeing Ruby.
Alexandra Bracken
Oh, I'm sorry, Chubs said, 'apparently the middle of my sentence interrupted the beginning of yours. Do continue.
Alexandra Bracken
