Quote

What did he have to mope about, really? What more did he want?...Love. Purpose. Those are the things that you can't plan for. Those are the things that just happen. And what if they don't happen? Do you spend your whole life pining for them? Waiting to be happy?

I miss you. That's stupid, she said. I saw you this morning. It's not the time, Levi said, and she could hear that he was smiling. It's the distance.

Months are different in college, especially freshman year. Too much happens. Every freshman month equals six regular months—they're like dog months.

Levi's smile broke free and devoured his whole face. It started to devour her face, too. Cath had to look away.

Cath wanted to go back and rewrite every scene she'd ever written about Baz or Simon's chests. She'd written them flat and sharp and hard. Levi was all soft motion and breath, curves and warm hollows. Levi's chest was a living thing.
