Veronica Roth

Veronica Roth
You die, I die too.” Tobias looks over his shoulder at me. “I asked you not to do this. You made your decision. These are the repercussions.
Veronica Roth
We kiss again and this time, it feels familiar. I know exactly how we fit together, his arm around my waist, my hands on his chest, the pressure of his lips on mine. We have each other memorized.
Veronica Roth
He pus his lips next to my ear and says, “You look good, Tris.
Veronica Roth
