“I think people immediately assumed I was yours so they stayed far away.' He met my eyes and smiled. 'I was. I am.' He leaned forward and brushed his lips to mine. 'Yours.”
Amy Tintera, Reboot

“Do that thing where you look blank, like you have no feelings at all.

Amy Tintera, Reboot

“He turned to me. His expression was serious, but I liked how it softened slightly when he looked at me. Like the way he looked at me was different from how he looked at everyone else.”
Amy Tintera, Reboot
