I just wanted to make sure you were . . . okay.” He shoved away from the door as he took a long stride toward her, letting the door slam behind him. “I should be asking you the same thing,” he said, cringing, his voice filled with concern. Violet knew how she looked. The bruise on her cheek had turned a strange combination of green, yellow, and purple. The swelling had gone down, but not enough for anyone else to notice. “I’m fine.” She hedged and then tried to shrug it off. “If you like bar-fight chic.” His face darkened. “I wasn’t really talking about what’s on the outside.” “You mean, like, it’s what’s on the inside that counts?” Rafe grimaced, the ghost of a smile finding his lips. “Well, when you put it that way, it sounds sort of . . .” “Sweet?” “I was gonna say lame. But, yeah, that works too.” “Yeah? Well, you look . . .” She was going to say better , but she practically stumbled over the word. He looked anything but better. If she looked beat-up, he looked downright thrashed. Even behind the bandages, Violet could see scrapes and mottled skin. “Terrible. You look terrible.” She moved closer to him on the landing as he unlocked the closed door. “But better than the last time I saw you, I guess.” Rafe tried to laugh, but winced and grabbed his ribs. “Damn, V, I wouldn’t plan on a career in nursing if I were you; your bedside manner stinks.” His eyes clouded over when he saw her stroking the black onyx hanging from around her neck. “Krystal?” he asked. “For protection,” Violet clarified. “Um, yeah, I got one too. Mine’s for healing.” He tugged at the silver chain around his neck. He held up an irregular-looking stone that had been tucked beneath his shirt. It was cloudy—opaque—and Violet wondered at the mystical qualities Krystal believed it possessed. “I meant it’s from Krystal. Right?” “Oh, yeah . . . right.” She nodded, realizing she’d misunderstood his question.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Kimberly Derting" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/kimberly-derting/i-just-i-just-wanted-to-make-sure-you-were-okay-he-shoved-away-from/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/104/kimberly-derting-2436_closed-door_i-just-i-just-wanted-to-make-sure-you-we_62988.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/104/kimberly-derting-2436_closed-door_i-just-i-just-wanted-to-make-sure-you-we_62988.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/104/kimberly-derting-2436_closed-door_i-just-i-just-wanted-to-make-sure-you-we_62988.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“I just . . .

She didn’t have to reach far; he was already meeting her halfway, his arm snaking around her waist. They didn’t speak for several long seconds as Violet savored the feel of his lips against hers, soft and familiar and achingly tender. She shivered inwardly, both loving and hating the way her body reacted—almost instantaneously—to his. She had very little control over herself when he touched her. She felt like a puppet, at his command. But they couldn’t stand there for long, pretending that no one could see them, when everyone could. She kissed him one last time . . . lightly, softly, sweetly. “So, now are you gonna tell me?” she teased, slipping her hand beneath his T-shirt so she could feel the warmth of his bare stomach. One side of his lip twitched upward. “There’s really nothing to tell, Vi. I don’t have any deep dark secrets or anything. What you see is what you get.” “How can you be so sure? What did she say exactly?” Violet’s fingers danced along his waistline, tracing a path to his back. Jay grinned down at her, reaching for her hand and leading her toward the lunchroom. “Nothing, really. She just kept saying ‘interesting,’ over and over again. If you ask me, she just noticed what everyone else already knows, that I’m incredibly interesting.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Kimberly Derting" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/kimberly-derting/c-mon-i-won-t-tell-anyone-your-secrets-even-if-they-re-really-really/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/bfb/kimberly-derting-2436_dark-secrets_c-mon-i-won-t-tell-anyone-your-secrets-e_2128820.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/bfb/kimberly-derting-2436_dark-secrets_c-mon-i-won-t-tell-anyone-your-secrets-e_2128820.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/bfb/kimberly-derting-2436_dark-secrets_c-mon-i-won-t-tell-anyone-your-secrets-e_2128820.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“C’mon, I won’t tell anyone your secrets . . . even if they’re really, really bad,” she promised, raising an…” — Kimberly Derting", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“Nothing had changed in that moment when Violet and Jay had finally decided to have sex. Nothing-and everything. Violet was amazed by what they’d done. Amazed that they’d shared themselves with each other, like that. It was wonderful, and beautiful, and not anything that Violet had expected it to be. The pain had been more intense than she could have imagined, and she’d done her best not to cry out. But, of course, Jay had noticed as her body tensed, and then she shuddered. Tears dampened her lashes, yet she’d refused to let them fall. Jay had insisted that they stop, but Violet wouldn’t let him. Instead they’d waited, with Jay holding her, stroking her hair, her shoulders, her face, until the pain subsided, becoming something… less. Later, when she was lying in his arms, she shuddered again. Jay hugged her tight. “What’s wrong? You’re not sorry, are you?” The tenderness of his words made her heart twist. “Of course not. How could I be sorry for that? ” He kissed her eyes, gently. “Then why are you shivering? I didn’t mean to hurt you, Vi.” She shook her head, clumsily bumping his chin. “I don’t know why.” She ran her fingertips over his arm, memorizing the feel of his coarse hairs, his skin, the muscles beneath it all. “It’s just…it’s a lot. You know?” Jay smiled. It was a satisfied smile. “Yeah.” He leaned back and pulled her to him, tucking her against his shoulder. “It was a lot. A really good lot.” She wanted to shove him, to banter, to play, but she was too exhausted. When Jay finally got up to leave, Violet leaned up on her elbow and watched as he buttoned his jeans. She wished they could stay like that-together-for longer. Forever. She already missed the feel of him beside her, and the scent of him around her. She sat up to give him back the T-shirt she was wearing. His lazy smile was far too beautiful to be real. “Keep it,” he insisted. “I like it better on you anyway.” The way he stared at her made her stomach flip. It was a look brimming with tenderness.

I don’t know, but maybe you should ask us again in five minutes. We haven’t had enough time to think about it since the last time you asked.” Chelsea’s mood had gone downhill quickly during the car ride into the mountains, and she had lost her patience for everyone- including Claire-who was usually safe from her temper. “ Effin’-A , Chels, I was just asking.” Claire’s lips drew together tightly as she crossed her arms in front of her. It was as close to swearing as Claire ever got. Claire must have really been tired of Chelsea’s snippy tone. Chelsea didn’t apologize; instead she closed her eyes and took another deep breath, leaning her head back against her seat. “Do you want me to pull over again?” Jay asked, glancing anxiously at Chelsea in his rearview mirror. He shot a nervous look at Violet, and Violet knew exactly what he was thinking. He didn’t want Chelsea to puke… in his car. Chelsea sighed with annoyance. “Why, Jay? So I can walk around in the cold again, talking about how fucking-yeah, that’s right, Claire, I said fucking -sick I feel? No, thank you. Just keep driving. The sooner we get there, the sooner I get out of this hellhole.” “No offense taken. Right, Jay?” Mike laughed, hitting Jay’s headrest playfully. Apparently he thought he was safe from Chelsea’s caustic remarks. He wasn’t. “That’s too bad,” Chelsea shot back without opening her eyes. “Maybe someone should take offense. Maybe it’s not the car making me sick, maybe it’s the driving.” Violet started to laugh but caught herself, just barely, in time to stop the sound from actually escaping her lips. She covered her mouth with her hand so that only those with their eyes open could see her. Ha-ha, Jay mouthed, when she glanced sideways in his direction, making it even harder to contain herself. Sorry, she mouthed back to him, when she finally felt like she had enough control not to laugh.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Kimberly Derting" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/kimberly-derting/so-what-do-you-guys-want-to-do-first-claire-asked-excitedly-from-the/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/336/kimberly-derting-2436_enough-time_so-what-do-you-guys-want-to-do-first-cla_2912611.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/336/kimberly-derting-2436_enough-time_so-what-do-you-guys-want-to-do-first-cla_2912611.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/336/kimberly-derting-2436_enough-time_so-what-do-you-guys-want-to-do-first-cla_2912611.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“So what do you guys want to do first?” Claire asked excitedly from the backseat. “Oh my God, Claire.
