Quotes
- marti leonhas quoted4 years ago
Before he could, I held my postcard up, the image of me midair, nearly touching the pool water.
There was no surprise in his smile—not even the tiniest lift of his eyebrows.
I pointed to the picture. “That’s the high dive. Aren’t you shocked?”
“Nope.” He reached for my hand. My face reflected back in his glasses, but I looked past to his familiar green eyes. I could see both of us completely. “I knew you’d get here.”
My hand clasped in his, I could not have known what would happen in the time that followed—how much we could love and hurt each other. How much we could change each other. But even if I could have seen a glimpse of my future, Max was right. Knowing what happens is different from knowing how it happens. And the getting there is the best part. - marti leonhas quoted4 years agoI felt my feet leave the ground, the air beneath me. If I was scared, it was in that pulsing, breathless scared you feel when what you’ve just done might change your life forever. When you know that there’s someone to catch you, and he does.
He set me down, and, the moment my feet hit the floor, I pressed up onto my toes and kissed him for the exact right reason: because I wanted to. Not because he was a silly crush or an item on a checklist. Because he was Max, plaid shirts and robots and airplanes and all. - marti leonhas quoted4 years agoSo I looked up at him, his rumpled dark hair and a flustered smile I knew so well. I almost laughed crazily—with both nervousness and relief—but instead I said, “I think I might love you, too.”
“Oh, please.” He rolled his eyes. “You do.”
I opened my mouth to agree, but before I could, he kissed me again. It was the second of so many—the second of not enough.
