“My running theory was that my shyness and introversion were linked to my whole 'never fancying anyone' situation - maybe I just didn't talk to enough people, or maybe people just stressed me out in general, and that was why I'd never wanted to kiss anyone. If I just improved my confidence, tried to be a bit more open and sociable, I'd be able to do and feel those things, like most people.”

“I was curious now, that's for sure.
And I was also terrified.
I mean, that wasn't me. Asexual. Aromantic.
I still wanted to have sex with someone, eventually. Once I found someone I actually liked. Just because I'd never liked anyone didn't mean I never would . . . did it?
And I wanted to fall in love. I really, really did.
I definitely would someday.
So that couldn't be me.
I didn't want that to be me.
Fuck. I didn't know.
I shook my head a little, trying to dispel the hurricane of confusion that was threatening to form inside my brain.”

“What do you loathe?"
"The way you seem to always get under my skin."
"Elsie." His eyes close for a brief moment. When he opens them, stars are born. "You think you don't live under mine?”

“The problem is he thinks he and Eli could be good for each other. Really good. Under different circumstances. In a different life.
Or maybe, if he was just a little braver, in this one.”

“I want you, Elsie. All the time. I think of you. All. The. Fucking. Time. I’m distracted. I’m shit at work. And my first instinct, the very first time I saw you, was to run away. Because I knew that if we’d start doing this, we would never stop. And that’s exactly how it is. There is no universe in which I’m going to let you go. I want to be with you, on you, every second of every day. I think – I dream of crazy things. I want you to marry me tomorrow so you can go on my health insurance. I want to lock you in my room for a couple of weeks. I want to buy groceries based on what you like. I want to play it cool, like I’m attracted to you and not obsessed out of my mind, but that’s not where I’m at. Not at all. And I need you to keep us in check. I need you to pace us, because wherever it is that we’re going… I’m here. I’m already right here.”
