“I'm not trying to get you to sleep with me. I just literally had to lie down. Thank you for appreciating my face. I've always thought I had an underappreciated face.

- Kenji”
― Tahereh Mafi, Defy Me

“Okay then. Let’s go get our girl back." "My girl," I correct him. "She’s my girl." Kenji snorts as we head in the direction of the compounds. "Right. Minus the part where she’s not actually your girl. Not anymore." "Shut up." "Uh-huh." "Whatever.”

“Oh, you are in for a world of pain, bro. A world. Of. Pain.”

“We’re all too young to have to deal with this shit.â€� Kenji is breathing hard. “Don’t fool yourself, bro. No one should have to see what we’ve seen. No one should have to wake up in the morning and find dead bodies in their living room, but shit happens. We deal with it, and we find a way to survive. You’re not the only one with problems.”

“And that was it. There was nothing we could do. We just had to stand there, watching as they dropped bombs on thirty years of work, killed everyone too young or too old to fight back, and then massacred the rest of our team on the field.â€� He clenches his hand around mine. “I come back here every day,â€� he says. “Hoping someone will show up. Hoping to find something to take back.â€� He stops then, voice tight with emotion. “And here you are. This shit doesn’t even seem real.â€�
I squeeze his fingers—gently, this time—and huddle closer to him. “We’re going to be okay, Kenji. I promise. We’ll stick together. We’ll get through this.”

“I cling to him, wishing I could ease his pain. I wish I could take his burdens and make them mine.
"It's weird, isn't it?" he says.
"What is?"
"If we were naked right now, I'd be dead."
"Shut up," I say, laughing against his chest. We're both wearing long sleeves, long pants. As long as my face and hand don't touch his skin, he's perfectly safe.
"Well, it's true."
"In what alternate universe would I ever be naked with you?"
"I am just ”

“You eat like a caveman."
"No, I don't, " he says angrily. And then a moment later: "Do I?”

“The reason he had to keep wiping their memories was because it didn’t matter how many times he reset the story or remade the introductionsâ€� Aaron always fell in love with her. Every time.”
― Tahereh Mafi, Defy Me

“He had a smile like a hug, a kiss like a blush, and a touch like a blessing. He didn't see a whore when he looked at her. He saw Lizzie. Just Lizzie.”
― Shewanda Pugh, Crimson Footprints II New Beginnings
