'I was right.' 'No.' I sniff. 'You were wrong.' sniff. 'I'm just crying'-sniff- 'cause I'm so happy.' My tear take that lie as their cue and start streaming down my cheeks. 'Come on, Princess,' he says, 'You don't need to cry over that loser.'  This only makes me cry harder. We both know who the loser is in this scenario. With a muttered curse, Quince wraps his arms around me and squeezes. It feels remarkably like a hug. 'Don't cry,' he whispers in my ear. 'Please.' I don't know if it's his soft words or the fact that my face is now hidden by his broad chest, but I just let go. Three years of longing and loving from a distance have built to the breaking point, and I let it out all over his west coast choppers T-shirt. 'shhh,' He soothes. 'He's not worth it.","author":"Tera Lynn Childs","tags":["crying","love","soothing"],"id":185847,"author_id":"Tera+Lynn+Childs"},{"text":"All right,' Shannen says slowly, tucking a lock of dark brown hair behind her ear.

Little electric sparks sip through my bloodstream, making sure every nerve in my body is focused on his amazing mouth.","author":"Tera Lynn Childs","tags":["funny","humor","kissing"],"id":337996,"author_id":"Tera+Lynn+Childs"},{"text":"I might not have superpowers, but I know how to knee a guy in the nuts.","author":"Tera Lynn Childs","tags":["humorous"],"id":400374,"author_id":"Tera+Lynn+Childs"},{"text":"Pain is weakness leaving the body.","author":"Tera Lynn Childs","tags":["exercise","pain","phoebe"],"id":403852,"author_id":"Tera+Lynn+Childs"},{"text":"Oh, Lily,' He says shaking his head. 'I know about love. About wanting and dreaming and wishing with every part of your soul. I know enough to reconize the parts that are real and teh parts that are only in my fantasy.' Ge turns his head slightly to face me, and I find myself saying,'L-like what?'Like when she cries and my heart tears in to little shreds, and all I can think of is making her forget the source of her sadness.'
