  • “Bowling is evil.”
    Zara
  • ““I will find your wolf. I want you to want me because you want me, not because of grief, not because he is not here. I want you to love me for me. I want you to kiss me first and not because you need me to help you, but because you need to kiss me.” He lifts his eyebrows just a little bit and his lips open. I drop my hand, reach for him, but he steps back and whisks away, dodging behind cars, before I have a chance to say that I don’t want to lose him too.”
    Astley & Zara
  • “" 'They aren't even big balls,' - Devyn'Big balls." Issie starts snortingI snort too.'You guys are not mature" - Devyn”
