“Like—getting a new start doesn’t mean you have towipe the slate clean. Just pick up the pieces. Begin again.”

Begin Again
“We’re all broken in some way. If you’re lucky, you might find someone whose broken pieces fit with yours.” ― Emma Slate, Crash & Carnage
“Until you came along, I didn’t think much about having kids. Why have kids if you don’t have the love of a good woman to raise them alongside you? “I don’t know, darlin’. One day we’ll be old. One of us will go first. Whoever is left behind…well, I like the idea of having the comfort of family when that time comes. A family you and I made together. A part of me, a part of you, will always be left in the world, even when we’re gone. And if we have more than one kid, they’ll be there for each other when we’re both gone.” ― Emma Slate, Wreck & Ruin
“An idea popped into my head. “Excuse me a second,” I said to the guy who’d just tried to pay me fifty bucks to sleep with him. “My boyfriend just got here.” ― Emma Slate, Wreck & Ruin
“When you need a rock, I can be that for you. You won't believe me until something happens and you're forced to lean on me.” ― Emma Slate, Wreck & Ruin
“Jesus Christ, woman, of course I love you, I love you so damn much I'm afraid it's going to scare the shit out of you. I love you so damn much that it's killing me trying to play it cool and not get your name fucking inked on me. I love you so damn much that a already thinking about buying you a house with so many rooms we'll have to have a bunch of kids to fill it. But you can't say that to a woman you knock up from a one-night stand who is one step away from bolting and who you've only known for a few weeks. You're scared and not just about the world I,m from, and I was trying to ease you ionto it, so you don't run of” ― Emma Slate, Madness & Mayhem
“I want you in my bed. My bed at my house. I wanna walk to the kitchen naked. I wanna shower with you and take you against the wall. I don’t need my brothers hearing me screaming your name.” ― Emma Slate, Wreck & Ruin
“You have to take risks, because if you don’t, then you’ll wake up at the end of your life full of regrets, and a head full of dreams never lived, and that’s a lot worse than dying.” ― Emma Slate, Crash & Carnage
“You get one life. One life to be free, to choose how you live. You” ― Emma Slate, Wreck & Ruin
“No place like home as they say, but what really makes a home? People, I think.” ― Emma Slate, Wreck & Ruin
“Maybe all we had were the people we choose to be our family. Maybe they'd be our strength when we were ready to fall.” ― Emma Slate, Wreck & Ruin
“People are complex, Mia, and the world is gray. Our actions are sometimes dark and sometimes light.” ― Emma Slate, Wreck & Ruin
“So, you went out with Amanda tonight, looking for a little bit of a distraction?” Boxer asked, pulling my attention back to him. “Something like that.” “I can distract you.” I raised my brows. “Oh, can you?” He leaned forward, close enough that I could smell the scent of his skin and feel the warmth emanating from him. “Yeah, Doc. I can distract the fuck out of you.” ― Emma Slate, Crash & Carnage
“Each day we’re one step closer to the end. Don’t want to die and wish I’d really lived.” ― Emma Slate, Wreck & Ruin
“He claimed me and I let him” ― Emma Slate, Sins of a King
“Can I get your number?” the frat guy wearing a blue and white checkered shirt asked. “Sorry,” I said, shooting him an insincere smile. “I don’t give” ― Emma Slate, Wreck & Ruin
“You’ve got to be kidding me,” I sputtered. “Did you just—do you think I’ll…” Two men stalked into the bar, immediately drawing my attention. They were older than the usual crowd of college frat guys and douchey accountants” ― Emma Slate, Wreck & Ruin
“Hi,” I said, wetting my lips in nervousness. When he didn’t say anything, I took a step closer. “I need you to do me a favor. I need you to pretend to be my boyfriend so that prick at the bar leaves me alone. I’ll let you drink for free tonight. You and your friend.” I finally managed to glance away from the man who had yet to appear as though he’d heard anything I’d said. But the moment I took my eyes off him he decided to move.” ― Emma Slate, Wreck & Ruin
“Excitement shivered up and down my spine as my nipples pebbled against the thin fabric of my black tank top.” ― Emma Slate, Wreck & Ruin
