Charming Quote by Kiera Cass
“He let you have the pants anyway?" she asked. I had started talking about Maxon as soon as I could, eager to know how their conversation had gone. "Yeah. He was very generous about it all." "I think it's charming that he's a good winner." "He is a good winner. He's even gracious when he's gotten the raw end of things." Like a knee to the royal jewels, for example.”

![“Those boys just want to get in your pants," he said. "You know that, right?" [...] "That's not true," Tiffany said. Well, of course it was true. But if Tiffany didn't know this, now was not the time to clue her in. "How do you know we weren't trying to get in their pants?" I asked.” quote by Jennifer Echols](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/bc9/jennifer-echols-943_time_those-boys-just-want-to-get-in-your-pant_1973332.jpg)
