I raise an eyebrow to match his expression. “Holder?”
“What are you up to?”
“I do not know what you are talking about,” I reply innocently.

I ponder his observation for a few seconds. Is that true?
Shit. It’s true.”

“I'm really hoping he’s being genuine because I can already tell he isn't the kind of guy a girl gets a simple crush on. He’s the kind of guy you fall hard for, and the thought of that terrifies me. I don’t really want to fall hard for anyone at all, especially someone who’s only making an effort because he thinks I'm easy. I also don’t want to fall for someone who has already branded himself hopeless. But I'm curious. So curious.”
― Colleen Hoover, Hopeless

“I've learned over the past years what it really means to be able to miss someone. In order to miss someone, that means you were privileged enough to have them in your life to begin with. And while seventeen years doesn't seem like near enough time to have spent with you over the course of a lifetime, it's still seventeen more years than the people that never knew you at all. So if I look at it that way ... I'm pretty damn lucky. I'm the luckiest brother ever in the whole wide world.”
― Colleen Hoover, Losing Hope

― Colleen Hoover, Hopeless

“No, I mean earlier. Where’d you go? You weren't here with me because no, nothing happened. I could see on your face that something was wrong, so I didn't do it. But now you need to think long and hard about where you were inside that head of yours, because you were panicked. You were hysterical and I need to know what it was that took you there so I can make sure you never go back.”
― Colleen Hoover, Hopeless

“Les, I want to kiss her so fucking bad, but I'm too scared. I'm scared if I kiss her too soon, it'll feel like every other kiss she's ever received. She'll feel nothing. I don't want her to feel nothing when I kiss her. I want her to feel everything.”
― Colleen Hoover, Losing Hope

Thank you so much for loving me, Linden Sky Hope.”
― Colleen Hoover

It would be nice to see a laid-back, calm side to him. I wonder if he even has an in between. I wonder...because that's all i can do Silently wonder about the hopeless boy who somehow burrowed himself into the forefront of my thoughts and go the hell away.”
― Colleen Hoover, Hopeless

“Bu beni öldürüyor, çünkü senin için hissettiklerimi bilmeden bir gün daha geçirmeni istemiyorum. Ama sana âşık olduğumu söylemeye hazır değilim, çünkü âşık değilim. Henüz değil. Ama bu hissettiğim her neyse hoşlanmaktan çok daha fazla. Çok daha fazla. Son birkaç haftadır bunu anlamaya çalışıyordum. Neden tarif edebileceğim başka bir kelime olmadığını düşünüyordum. Sana tam olarak ne hissettiğimi söylemeyi istiyorum, ama lanet olası sözlükte hoşlanmak ve sevmek arasındaki noktayı tarif edebilecek bir kelime yok, ve o kelimeye ihtiyacım var. İhtiyacım var, çünkü söylediğimi duymanı istiyorum.”
Yaşamak.
Kelime sanki hep orada, sözlükte ait olduğu yerde, hoşlanmak ve sevmek arasına saklı kalmıştı. “Yaşamak,” dedim. "Bu kelimeyi kullanabilirsin."

“Sarhoş musun?" diye sordum.
Parmaklarını dudaklarıma bastırıp gülmesine engel olmaya çalıştı, ama beceremedi. "Hayır. Evet."
"Ne kadar sarhoş?"
Başını boynuma yaklaştırıp dudaklarını köprücük kemiğimde hafifçe gezdirince içime bir sıcaklık yayıldı. "Sana kötü şeyler yapmayı isteyecek kadar sarhoşum, ama sarhoşken yapmak isteyecek kadar sarhoş değilim," dedi. "Ama yaparsam, yarın yaptıklarımı hatırlayacak kadar sarhoşum.”
― Colleen Hoover, Hopeless

“Seni üzdüğünde gökyüzünü düşüneceğine söz verir misin?"
Benden neden bu sözü vermemi istediğini bilmiyordum, yine de kafamı salladım. "Ama neden?"
"Çünkü." Başını yıldızlara çevirdi. "Gökyüzü her zaman güzeldir. Karanlık, yağmurlu ya da bulutlu olsun, bakmak her zaman keyif verir. Bu en sevdiğim şey, çünkü kaybolursam, kendimi yalnız hissedersem ya da korkarsam, tek yapmam gereken kafamı kaldırıp bakmak, ne olursa olsun orada olacak... ve her zaman güzel olacağını bileceğim.”
― Colleen Hoover, Hopeless

“Beni çekici bulduğuna inanamıyorum."
"Kapa çeneni."
"Sırf çekici, terli ve erkeksi kollarımda seni taşımam için geçen gün bayılma numarası yapmış olmalısın."
"Kapa çeneni."
"Bahse girerim geceleri bu yatakta beni hayal ediyorsundur."
"Kapa çeneni, Holder."
"Hatta.."
Uzanıp elimle ağzını kapattım. "Konuşmadığın zaman daha çekici oluyorsun.”
― Colleen Hoover, Hopeless

“Ağzıma o kadar odaklanmıştı ki, okuduğumun tek kelimesini bile duymadığını düşünüyordum. Kitabı kapatıp karnıma koydum. Kitabı kapattığımın bile farkında olduğunu sanmıyordum.
"Neden konuşmayı kestin?" dedi, ne ifadesi değişmiş ne de bakışlarını dudaklarımdan ayırmıştı.
"Konuşmak mı?" diye sordum merakla. "Holder, kitap okuyorum. Arada fark var. Ve görünüşe bakılırsa, hiç dikkat etmiyorsun."
Gözlerimin içine bakıp sırıttı. "Ah, dikkat ediyorum," dedi. "Dudaklarına. Ağzından çıkan kelimelere dikkat etmemiş olabilirim, ama dudaklarına kesinlikle dikkat ediyordum.”
― Colleen Hoover, Hopeless
