“It's one of those special places where you feel like time doesn't exist. Where it will always be summer, where I'll always wake up with you.”

K.L. Walther,
The Summer of Broken Rules
“Claire never went anywhere without a book, and she’d taught me to do the same.” ― K.L. Walther, The Summer of Broken Rules
“You are affectionate without even thinking about it. You let me talk for hours, and you listen for hours. You make me feel absolutely golden.” ― K.L. Walther, The Summer of Broken Rules
“The sea air—I loved that smell. I’d missed that smell.” ― K.L. Walther, The Summer of Broken Rules
“Taylor Swift’s early albums that summer, and there was this one song” ― K.L. Walther, The Summer of Broken Rules
“Rapunzel, Rapunzel!” I whisper-yelled. “Get your ass down here!” ― K.L. Walther, The Summer of Broken Rules
“Of course, Sarah’s was not complete without quoting Taylor Swift, a line from the classic “Lover.” ― K.L. Walther, The Summer of Broken Rules
“And I do know how much you adore me,” he whispered. “I just wish it was as much as I adore you.” ― K.L. Walther, The Summer of Broken Rules
“The sheets and pillows smelled like the sea and citrus. “Oranges,” I murmured. “My shampoo,” Wit murmured back. “I love oranges.” “So you love me.” I giggled. He hadn’t phrased it as a question, and for some reason—lack of sleep, probably—that made me giggle. Really giggle. “You have a nice laugh,” Wit commented. “A nice laugh?” I asked, giggles gone.” ― K.L. Walther, The Summer of Broken Rules
“Yes" I nodded. "That was Claire. She dazzled." She just had no idea she dazzled, what big things awaited her.” ― K.L. Walther, The Summer of Broken Rules
“Imagine if I hadn’t gone to class five years ago.” He gestured to Sarah. “I could’ve missed my chance. She saw me that day. There were two hundred people in the room, and somehow, she saw me.” He shrugged. “Any other day, maybe she wouldn’t have. But she saw me, she did, and now here we are. Here we all are.” He glanced at Wit, then gave me a look. “Enough with this pretending nonsense. If you want him, go get him. Don’t miss your shot.” *” ― K.L. Walther, The Summer of Broken Rules
“Dammit, Wit!” Michael’s best man shouted. “It’s not even seven!” Pause. “But, like, good for you, man.” ― K.L. Walther, The Summer of Broken Rules
“It slipped my mind,” Wit said as I traced the bridge of his nose. “I was busy.” “Yeah, being a serial killer.” ― K.L. Walther, The Summer of Broken Rules
“Okay,” the kid said when he had the camera positioned. “Smile.” And I did smile—a smile so filled with happiness, happiness I hadn’t been sure I’d ever be able to feel again.” ― K.L. Walther, The Summer of Broken Rules
“He’s brought you back to us. The Farm and him. You’ve been in this sleepy haze this last year and a half—I know we all have—and I don’t think I’ve seen you so awake and alive since that awful day. When the two of you are together…” She shook her head.” ― K.L. Walther, The Summer of Broken Rules
“To you,” he said. “To you, my son. You are a stronger man than I will ever be.” We clinked glasses. “I love you, Charlie,” he told me. “I love you very much.” ― K.L. Walther, If We Were Us
“I’ll tell you when I have my arms around you, he said.” ― K.L. Walther, The Summer of Broken Rules
“Yes,” Wit said. “He’s noticed me, I’ve noticed him, we’ve noticed each other.” He paused, then added in a softer voice, “And now I want an adventure.” ― K.L. Walther, The Summer of Broken Rules
“It was always about Ben, I was beginning to realize. Our relationship was uneven—never about me. Everything revolved around him.” ― K.L. Walther, The Summer of Broken Rules
