How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
It was not a long, wrinkly skirt. It was a pair of blue jean shorts that were unbuttoned at the top. When I caught myself staring too much, I turned back to see two full-fledged zombies waiting patiently and arguing about where to drive to next. (3.26)
There's nothing more distracting to Cullen than the sight of Ada Taylor in some cut-off jeans that are unbuttoned at the top. She's even wearing a bikini top to go with it. What's a hot-blooded teenage boy to do but stare?
Quote #2
I couldn't stay focused on the movie long enough to gain any sort of interest, because Alma Ember had set her popcorn aside and opted instead to nibble on my left earlobe. While that was quite enjoyable, I felt overcome with an uncertainty of what to do with my hands. So I just continued to eat popcorn as Alma Ember continued to cannibalize my left side. (5.63)
Well, this is an awkward situation. Cullen's on a date with the more experienced and older Alma Ember, but he doesn't seem to know what to do now that she's giving him some… um, physical attention.
Quote #3
I could have very easily walked Alma Ember into her house that night and walked myself out the next morning, but I didn't. I didn't even leave the car. Alma kissed me on the mouth, backed up, looked let down, and then crawled out of the backseat. (5.65)
Even though Cullen could have totally scored with a babe like Alma Ember, he doesn't go for it. Maybe he's shy, or maybe he's just not sure about how strong his feelings for her are.
