Quote by Valenciya Lyons

“He’s quite tall with broad shoulders and an athletic physique that even his suit and tie cannot hide. My eyes continue their upward travel to his strong square-shaped face framed with brown curly hair that falls to his shoulders and deep, piercing blue eyes. The corners of his mouth curve upward when he notices me staring a moment too long.”

“A far cry now that she is in Tajrish. This is District One. The posh end of town. Snuggled deep in between the streets of this bustling roundabout are where the rich live. She looks up, a huge billboard with a blue-eyed model sits there with a phone in his hand. Some brand she’s never heard of. She has never quite understood the infatuation Iranians have with celebrities and colored eyes. To her, it seems like any Iranian with green or blue eyes makes their way either on the big screen or on a billboard. The old traditional concept of Persian beauty, black eyes with a unibrow now replaced with Hollywood-inspired looks. The Leo DiCaprios, Brad Pitts of this world. Still a cheap knock-off of them as well.”

“Good-looking blue-eyed men were usually the least trustworthy of anyone- how many times had she read of a villain with "icy blue eyes"? But Collins's eyes weren't icy at all. They were homey, soft, an old-denim blue like a pair of perfectly worn-in jeans, and they were focused on her now, full of hope. She found she didn't want to say no to him.”

“No, I don't feel ready at all. But I don't think I ever will. Maybe it's what I've been missing the whole time, because...yeah, there has been exactly no point in all this that I've felt ready. Where answers arrived, and clarity struck, and you put a crown on my head or something and said, 'Congratulations, you did it!' I guess I just...have reached a point where someone has to do something, and if I'm not that someone, nothing will happen and nothing will get better, or have the hope of getting better. So, no, I'm sure as hells not ready. Which is why I know it's time to start moving anyway.”
