Ann Aguirre
He’s worth fighting for, but I won’t change who I am for any man. No more than he should alter himself to suit me.
Ann Aguirre
How can you miss someone who’s right beside you?
Ann Aguirre
No matter how interminable something feels, there is always, always an ending. Sometimes that's good, and sometimes it's bad sometimes it's a matter of indifference, and sometimes it's heartbreaking, and your life is never the same thereafter.
Ann Aguirre
But it was like a dance across a field strewn with razors, and I bled with every step I took.

Ann Aguirre
As I dive between the legs of a big Gunnar, I see Mair wind up and slam her shockstick hard as she can between the V of another guy’s thighs. Falling, he makes a noise that I can’t say I’ve heard a human utter before, sort of like I imagine a puppy would sound being put through a juicer.
Ann Aguirre
Before he bent his head, I knew what he was going to do. Touch his lips to mine. Oh, and I wanted him to... I stilled, hardly daring to breathe. The old refrain of cant and shouldn't sank beneath the weight of new worlds like please and yes.
Ann Aguirre
I so enjoy it when people assume I'm stupid. Not that, just very focused on killing.
Ann Aguirre
I wanted proof, not promises.
Ann Aguirre
Now you will feel no rain, for each of you will be shelter for the other. Now you will feel no cold, for each of you will be warmth for the other. Now there will be no loneliness, for each of you will be companion to the other. Now you are two persons, but there are three lives before you: His life, Her Life, and Your life together.
Ann Aguirre

Ann Aguirre
