His hand touches my waist, steadies me. The touch sends a shock through my body, and all my insides burn like his fingers ignited them. I pull close to him, pressing my body against his, and lift my head to kiss him.

Veronica Roth
Can you tell me where to find Tobias'? I ask. When I imagine his face, affection for him bubbles up inside of me and all I want to do is kiss him. 'Four, I mean. He's so handsome, isn't he? I don't really understand why he likes me so much. I'm not very nice, am I?' -Tris
Veronica Roth

Veronica Roth
I'm not Dauntless - I'm Divergent. I am whatever I choose to be.

He turns toward me. I want to touch him, but I’m afraid of his bareness afraid that he will make me bare too. ‘Is this scaring you, Tris?’ ‘No,’ I croak. I clear my throat. ‘Not really. I’m only…afraid of what I want.’ ‘What do you want?’ Then his face tightens. ‘Me?’ Slowly I nod.
Veronica Roth
You won, Four mutters. Stop. I wipe the sweat from my forehead. He stares at me. His eyes are too wide they look alarmed.
Veronica Roth
In the days that follow, it's movement, not stillness, that helps to keep the grief at bay.
Veronica Roth
I choose him over and over again, and he chooses me.
