That's why I've kept you out of reach. It's like putting something you love away from everything so its beauty won't be tarnished. I want to be with you more, and them less. I want my life to change. ↗

When he turned back toward her, he kissed her deeply. "Don't ever doubt that I love you," he said, cupping her chin in his strong hands. "That will never change." Beck's taught body covered hers, alive and vital, charged with desire. And then they became one. ↗

Everybody in here, there’s gotta be something really messed up that happened to them because that’s the world we live in. It’s sick, it’s messed up. But until we recognize what’s sick and messed up about ourselves, things will never change around us. ↗
