Quote by Caroline B. Cooney

“Patrick's father yelled, "Hey! You two necking over there? Save it!" Heidi and Patrick looked at each other. Patrick's father yelled. "Get your --- uhhh --- get up here! I got work for you two." "He was about to tell me what part of my body I should get in gear," said Patrick, grinning. "Then he decided not to." "Both of us need to get in gear," said Heidi. "I don't know what I'm doing in Neutral when I have to stay in High." A spotlight caught her; the sopping hair gleamed, the cold ice-reddened cheeks tilted toward him; a smile of mischief teased him. For an entire five or six seconds, he thought about sex instead of rescue.”

“I didn’t cry, nor shed the merest of tears. I wouldn’t allow myself to. Though within, deep within, I was cradled in a little ball with my knees tucked into my chest, a puddle of tears surrounding me, as though I was a little girl who could not handle her emotions. That was true. I could not handle my emotions. Could not handle the weight of the world or the mass of Caspian Marks’ love.”
