Inconvenient.

True love is usually the most inconvenient kind.

The World.

It wasn’t like I made his world better. It was like I was his world. It wasn’t some explosion; it wasn’t fireworks. It was a fire, burning slowly from the inside out.

Living.

She told me to live. . . . I didn’t know how to tell Her that simply being alive was not enough to be called living.

Books.

Books were a safe place, a world apart from my own. No matter what had happened that day, that year, there was always a story in which someone overcame their darkest hour. I wasn’t alone.

Scarred.

The best people all have some kind of scar.

More.

This isn’t happily ever after.

It’s so much more than that.

Broken

Break my heart. Break it a thousand times if you like. It was only ever yours to break anyway.

Selfless.

Maxon, some of those marks are on your back so they wouldn’t be on mine, and I love you for them.

~The One by: Kiera Cass

Ladylike.

Maxon lowered his lips to mine and gave me the faintest whisper of a kiss.

Something about the tentativeness of it made me feel beautiful. Without a word, I could understand how excited he was to have this moment, but then afraid at the same time. And deeper than any of that, I sensed that he adored me.

So this is what it felt like to be a lady.
