“There's a girl, Dad."

He smiled a bit. "A girl."

"She kinda hates me, and I kinda..."

"Love her?"

"I don't know. I don't think so. I mean...how do you know?"

His smile grew wider. "When you're talking about her with your old dad because you don't know what else to do.”

“I was his exception, and as much as I had tried to fight my feelings, he was mine.”
― Jamie McGuire, Beautiful Disaster

“So you like her and you're scared. Now what?"

"Nothing. It just sucks that I finally found the girl worth having and she's too good for me.”
― Jamie McGuire, Walking Disaster

“I was just as in love with her in our eleventh year as I was in the first. Every anniversary was a victory, a middle finger to everyone who thought we wouldn't last. Abby tamed me, marriage settled me down, and when I became a father, my entire outlook changed.”
― Jamie McGuire, Walking Disaster

“You’re sorry? I damn near drank myself to death, I could barely get out of bed, I shattered my phone into a million pieces on New Year’s Eve to keep from calling you â€� and you’re sorry?â€�
I bit my lip and nodded, ashamed. I had no idea what he’d been through, and hearing his say the words made sharp pain twist inside my chest. “I’m so � so sorry.�
“You’re forgiven,� he said with a grin. “Don’t ever do it again.�
“I won’t. I promise.�
He flashed his dimple and shook his head. “I fucking love you.”

“My palms flat against the wall of the tile, I clenched my eyes shut. "Please come back" I said quietly. She couldn't hear me, but it didn't stop me from wishing she would come and save me from the terrible pain I felt without her there.”
― Jamie McGuire, Walking Disaster

“They don’t want me. They’re curious why you want me. And anyway, I feel sorry for anyone that thinks they have a chance. I am hopelessly and completely in love with you.â€�
A pained look shadowed his face. “You know why I want you? I didn’t know I was lost until you found me. I didn’t know what alone was until the first night I spent without you in my bed. You’re the one thing I’ve got right. You’re what I’ve been waiting for, Pigeon.”
― Jamie McGuire, Beautiful Disaster

“His eyebrows pulled in. “You won’t leave me, right? Even when I’m a pain in the ass?â€�
“I vowed in front of God â€� and Elvis â€� that I wouldn’t, didn’t I?”
― Jamie McGuire, Beautiful Disaster

“Well, hell yeah! I’m gonna kick your ass, too!â€�
I narrowed my eyes at him. “Not this time you’re not. I have a new superpower.�
He laughed. “And what’s that? Harsh language?�
I leaned over to kiss his neck once, and then ran my tongue up to his ear, kissing his earlobe. He froze in place.
“Distraction,� I breathed into his ear.
He grabbed my arms and flipped me onto my back. “You’re going to miss another class.”

“Even though we’d put each other through hell, we’d found heaven.”
― Jamie McGuire, Walking Disaster

“The anger subsided, and my shoulders fell. “I know you didn’t. But you have got to curb this overprotective big-brother thing you’ve got going on.â€�
Travis laughed once. “I’m not playing the big brother, Pigeon. Not even close.”
― Jamie McGuire, Beautiful Disaster

“After climbing off his bike, I smacked his shoulder. “Did you forget I was with you? Are you trying to get me killed?â€�
“It’s hard to forget you’re behind me when your thighs are squeezing the life out of me.� A smirk came with his next thought. “I couldn’t think of a better way to die, actually.�
“There is something very wrong with you.”
― Jamie McGuire, Beautiful Disaster

“I know you know I love you. What you may not know is that there is nothing I want more than to be your husband. But if you’re not ready, I’ll wait for you, Pigeon. I’m not going anywhere. I mean, yeah. I want this, but only if you do. I just . . . I need you to know that you can open this door and we can walk down the aisle, or we can get a taxi and go home. Either way, I love you.”
― Jamie McGuire, A Beautiful Wedding

“You’re everything I’ve ever wanted, Pigeon.â€�
“Just remember that when I take all of your money in the next poker game,â€� I said, pulling off my shirt.”
― Jamie McGuire, Beautiful Disaster

“The only thing I'm afraid of is a life without you, Pigeon."

"Then you have nothing to be afraid of," I said. "We're forever.”
― Jamie McGuire, A Beautiful Wedding

“I still love you, Pidge.â€�
She didn’t look up. “Don’t. I’m not doing this for you.�
I sucked in a breath, physical pain shooting in all directions in my chest. “I know.”
― Jamie McGuire, Walking Disaster

“Look at him,â€� she said, shaking her head. “Travis Maddox: Mr. Mom.”
― Jamie McGuire, Beautiful Disaster

“She told me to find a girl worth fighting for. The one that doesn’t come easy.”
― Jamie McGuire, A Beautiful Wedding

“Losing Abby wasn't a story I remembered from early childhood--it was in my face, debilitating me like a sickness, robbing me of my senses and physically, excruciatingly painful. My mother's words echoed in my ear. Abby was the girl I had to fight for, and I went down fighting. None of it was ever going to be enough.”
― Jamie McGuire, Walking Disaster

“He watched me rake my fingers through the tangles in my hair and smiled.
“Quit it. You’re fucking beautiful.�
“Just point me to the nearest eighties rock video,â€� I said.”
― Jamie McGuire, Beautiful Disaster

“Yo supe en el momento en que te conocí que había algo en ti que yo necesitaba. Resultó que no era algo de ti. Eras sólo tú.”
― Jamie McGuire, Beautiful Disaster

“First of all . . . I have standards. I’ve never been with an ugly woman.
Ever. Second of all, I wanted to sleep with you. I thought about throwing you over my couch fifty different ways, but I haven’t because I don’t see you that way anymore. It’s not that I’m not attracted to you, I just think you’re better than that.”
― Jamie McGuire, Walking Disaster

“My brothers nodded their heads in unison. All of them but me. It wasn’t okay. I didn’t want her to leave. I didn’t care if Jesus wanted her or not. She was my mommy. He could take an old mommy. One that didn’t have little boys to take care of.”
― Jamie McGuire, Walking Disaster

“When Pidge wakes up, let me know, okay?â€� he said in a soft voice. “I got spaghetti,
and pancakes, and strawberries, and that oatmeal shit with the chocolate packets, and she
likes Fruity Pebbles cereal, right, Mare?� he asked, turning.
When he saw me, he froze. After an awkward pause, his expression melted, and his
voice was smooth and sweet.“Hey, Pigeon.�
I couldn’t have been more confused if I had woken up in a foreign country. Nothing
made sense. At first I thought I had been evicted, and then Travis comes home with bags
full of my favorite foods.
He took a few steps into the living room, nervously shoving his hands in his pockets.
“You hungry, Pidge? I’ll make you some pancakes. Or there’s uh…there’s some oatmeal.
And I got you some of that pink foamy shit that girl’s shave with, and a hairdryer, and a�
a�.just a sec, it’s in here,� he said, rushing to the bedroom.
The door opened, shut, and then he rounded the corner, the color gone from his face.
He took a deep breath and his eyebrows pulled in. “Your stuff’s packed.�
“I know,� I said.
“You’re leaving,â€� he said, defeated.”
― Jamie McGuire, Beautiful Disaster

“I don’t want you to be sorry. I don’t want you to be anything,â€� I snapped. Her expression was the final straw. Of course she didn’t want to be around me. I was an infantil asshole that had the emotional control of a three-year-old. I shoved away from the table and pushed through the door, not stopping until I was sitting on my bike.”
― Jamie McGuire, Walking Disaster

“Shut the door when you're finished being in my business," I said, resting my head next to Abby's.”
― Jamie McGuire, Walking Disaster

“Yo supe en el momento en que te conocí que había algo en ti que yo necesitaba. Resultó que no era algo de ti. Eras sólo tú”

“You realize people like you and Trav are going to fight, right?" America said, filing her nails as she chewed the huge wad of gum in her mouth.

I turned over on the bed. "You are officially fired. You are a terrible conscious.”
― Jamie McGuire, Beautiful Disaster

“¿Sabes por qué te quiero? No sabía que estaba perdido hasta que me encontraste. No sabía lo solo que me encontraba hasta la primera noche que pasé sin ti en mi casa. Eres lo único que he hecho bien. Eres todo lo que he estado esperando, Pigeon.”
― Jamie McGuire, Beautiful Disaster

“One of these days you're going to fall in love,son. Don't settle for just anyone. Choose the girl that doesn't come easy, the one you have to fight for, and then never stop fighting".”
