So why did you come over?" I said to Max. He turned around and started walking backward. He spread his arms out wide. "For love!" He had to jerk his hands back in when they got too close to the flames.Cole broke out in spasms of laughter."What is it?"Cole looked at me. "I brought him over. Ages ago.

She's dating the school quarterback.""People date all the time. And they break up all the time.""Not these two," Meredith said with a snort. "Their love is epic. Everyone at school knows it. He gave up his philandering ways to be with his longtime childhood bestie."I finally glanced at her sideways. "They're in high school. High schoolers don't philander.""Jack Caputo does. Or did.

Give me your heart,” I said.He tilted his head, leaned forward, watching my eyes the entire time to make sure it was okay, and kissed me lightly on the lips. "You already have it.

I want my heart. I'll trade you for it. I'll give you anything. Almost anything". He tilted his head forward in a challenging way. "Give me you""Anything else". Cole raised an eyebrow. "You think I care about anything else?"I looked down at the floor."Where's my heart" I said."You're always asking the wrong question.

I pushed against him but he held me tight.'You're delusional' I said.'I'm the delusional guy whose going to keep you alive'There was a fire behind his eyes. I set my jaw.'You're the delusional guy who killed me in the first place

He held me back just enough so I could see his face, and his determined frown. "You meant for this life. With me.

I grabbed the sides of my desk, as if I were about to pick it up and move it. Like a crazy person. Cole walked over and noticed how I was grabbing my desk.He raised an eyebrow. "I think when Mrs. Stone said to take our seats, she didn't mean literally take our seats.

Why are you carrying rope around with you?" I asked skeptically."Stop asking me dirty questions," he said with a smirk.
