"She makes my heart go, like, whoa."

"No, no, no, Da, I'm serious," I slurred. "I think I love that girl."

Huge fucking feelings.

Permanent ones

His blue eyes burned holes inside of me when he said, "Thanks."

"For what?" I whispered.

Johnny smiled. "For being nothing like the rest of them."

"I like her, Gibs. I think I really like her, man. Like really as in a lot. A lot more than fucking like. Christ!"

"It's okay or you're okay?"

Aoif: (like reef without the r)

Aoife: E-fa

Caoimhe: Kee-va

Eoghan: Owen

Gardaí: Gar-dee

Neasa: Nasa

Sadhbh: Sigh-ve

Sean: Shawn

Sinead: Shin-aid

Tadhg: Tie-g (like tiger but without the r at the end)

"What are ya talking about?" Johnny slurred. "I’m not scaring her. I love her."
