“Nicholas had told himself that it was just sex that he wanted, but it was the moments before and after that he really craved: watching her comb out the tangles that he’d put in her hair by pulling on it, the feel of her fingers against his chest when she unbuttoned his shirt. These little moments of forced tenderness were the closest he’d ever been to love.” — Nenia Campbell
