Quote by T.J. Klune

“But that’s not it. At all. I know it’s not because there’s sometimes when he smiles at me, that one smile he only does for me, and my heart starts to race and my skin starts to itch, and I feel sweaty and alive and like I could take on anything that was thrown at me, if only he would smile at me like that again”

It was warm like a summer day. It was candy canes and pinecones, it was epic and awesome, it was dirt and leaves and rain, it was grass and lake water and sunshine. It was a forest so alive, so untouched.”

“After class, if she got out early, sometimes I'd catch her downstairs writing up her notes. And she'd smile and I had to bite back every single corny thing I'd ever wanted to say, like: All off me is an invitation reaching toward you, or my fingertips ache where they haven't touched your skin or I hear the promise of us in the crescendo of every ballad and maybe I was supposed to be a bachatero instead of a pilot because all I had were torch songs for a girl I barely knew.”
