“You said you were done with long-distance relationships," he reminded Adrian."That was before I went and fell in love with you.”

“I can’t say that I know what you’ve gone through. But I do know what it’s like to believe you’re broken when really all you are is…you.” ― Annabeth Albert, Conventionally Yours
“No. Like a memory. I wanted to be the memory of your first kiss and I wanted to make it incredible for you and...never” ― Annabeth Albert, Status Update
“Because loving you means maybe losing you, and I’m not sure I could deal with that” ― Annabeth Albert, Conventionally Yours
“You'd be okay with going straight to bed and sleeping?" Noah sounded skeptical, but Adrian was serious."Yeah. I didn't come back for sex, Noah. I came back for you.” ― Annabeth Albert, Status Update
“A virgin SEAL—” “Shut up.” He shoved Pike’s shoulder. Pike neatly sidestepped his grip. “I’m just saying, you must be rarer than a fucking unicorn. I thought you guys got all the ass—of any gender—you wanted.” “Hus—” ― Annabeth Albert, Off Base
“Love is always a risk. One many people can’t take and one that seldom pays off.” ― Annabeth Albert, Save the Date
“It had been so long since he'd been tempted that he felt as dry as the Northern California landscape, one spark away from complete devastation.” ― Annabeth Albert, Beta Test
“But you know... If you want to see if a kiss would cure me, I wouldn't stop you.” ― Annabeth Albert, Conventionally Yours
“Regrets will eat you alive if you let them. You gotta outrun them. Find something in the now.” ― Annabeth Albert, Baked Fresh
“I did not want to spend days on end in a car with someone who made no secret of not liking me, even though he got along with almost everyone else. Something about the two of us was like mixing Diet Coke and Mentos—guaranteed instant eruption” ― Annabeth Albert, Conventionally Yours
“He didn't want to be Tristan's friend; he wanted to be Tristan's everything.” ― Annabeth Albert, Beta Test
“I’m falling in love with you. That’s what I should have said before I left.” Pike kept stroking Zack’s face. “I was a coward too. I needed you to know that, but I was scared of it not being enough—” “It is.” ― Annabeth Albert, Off Base
“We're just friends," Kendall said quickly, and rip, there went my heart, right into two pieces.” ― Annabeth Albert, Danced Close
“He was always so ready to do battle on my behalf, but I would have gladly taken up a sword against his past.” ― Annabeth Albert, Danced Close
“A puzzle piece?” Dylan wasn’t sure he followed.“Yeah.” Apollo’s strides lengthened, almost as if he might be as nervous as Dylan. “A small one. I’ve spent the last two years searching for a map. Or maybe a flowchart. Something to make sense of my life again. But now I realize...there is no map, just a puzzle to solve, one with jumbled pieces.”“And you’ve solved it?”“Not hardly.” Apollo’s laugh was warm, blanketing him like a favorite jacket. “But you, see, you’re an edge piece.”“An edge piece? Like a corner?”“Exactly. One of those pieces that helps you make sense of all the other pieces and start to put the puzzle together. One of the pieces you might not even realize you were missing until you started trying to sort things out. I’ve got so many other pieces—the girls, my family, the SEALs—and somehow you bring it all together. Help me balance it out and make sense of where the pieces are supposed to go.” ― Annabeth Albert, At Attention
“I had waited years for Paul Frost to need something. A cup of sugar. A spare fan. An extra chair. He probably had me beat in the tool department, but I did have a drill I was rather fond of. And I would have let him use it. But this, this was even better. He needed something I was good at, and finally getting the chance to impress him with something other than my knack for forgetting the trash cans had me all bouncy.” ― Annabeth Albert, The Geek Who Saved Christmas
“Other people walked. Gideon sauntered.” ― Annabeth Albert, The Geek Who Saved Christmas
“The world needed more Gideon. And maybe I did too.” ― Annabeth Albert, The Geek Who Saved Christmas
