"I wanted to fight all her battles. I wanted to give her all her smiles and make her laugh and snatch her away from the rest of the world and keep her all to myself. I just wanted her. For keeps."

"I just…needed more time with her, you know? Like, it wasn’t enough. I needed more…"
"More? More of what, Johnny?"
"More of her," I replied glumly. "It's all more when it comes to her. Jesus, I want her so fucking bad I can't think straight, Gibs."

"Every time, Shannon like the river," he purred, kissing her neck. "Every time, baby." He pulled back to look at her and released a masculine growl of approval. "You take the breath clean out of me."

"I love you, Johnny Kavanagh," I choked out, clenching my eyes shut as I grabbed his arm and held it to my chest. "Most in the world."

"She makes my heart go, like, whoa. Boom, boom, fucking boom. All the time."

"But don't forget that you'll always be my 13." She sniffled and wiped my cheek with her fingers. "My binding 13." I choked out a pained laugh, thinking about that stupid bet.
"You heard about that?"
"Yeah." Half-sobbing/ half-laughing, Shannon smiled and nodded. "I won."

"I loved her more than I knew what to do with. I could see it all ahead of me: my life, my future, my career, and her. The girl I knew would play the leading role in all of it. I'd thrown it all in with her and I had no doubts. Not a single one. She was my teammate now."

"I think I need you for keeps."
"I think I need you for keeps, too."

"Boom, boom, fucking boom, Da. I'm done for..."
