I get in that kind of situation all the time, Comrade. It's not a big deal. Anger replaced my fear. I didn't like being treated like a child. Stop calling me that. You don't even know what you're talking about. Sure I do. I had to do a report on the R.S.S.R. last year.

Somehow, Sydney had an internal clock that told her when time was up. I think it was part of her inherent ability to keep track of a hundred things at once. Not me. In these moments, my thoughts were usually focused on getting her shirt off and whether I’d get past the bra this time. So far, I hadn’t.

Can't you . . . I don't know. Find a hobby or something? Being charming is my hobby, said Adrian obstinately. I'm the life of the party— even without drinking. I wasn't meant to be alone.

Ever since Dimitri came back...no, scratch that. Ever since you became obsessed with changing him, you've been torn over me. No matter what's happened between us, you've never really given yourself over to our relationship. I wanted to believe what you told me. I thought you were ready...but you weren't.
