“Watching you guys trying to be friends is like watching porn with no penetration. Really hot, but no climax.”

“The thought of being without her strips away all my bravado. She has no idea how much power she has over me. I’m the famous one. The rich one. The one who has nothing left to prove, but she holds every card. Especially the ones with the hearts.”
“And there, with only our hearts as witnesses, our bodies make a vow that our souls will keep.”
