How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
Dimitri was quiet and distant sometimes, but he also had a dedication and an intensity that I'd never seen in any other person. I wondered how that kind of power and strength translated into... well, sex. I wondered what it'd be like for him to touch me. (9.77)
Oh boy—Rose starts to wonder about Dimitri in a new light. It's strange for her that Dimitri's eyes and body could do more for her than Jesse's kisses. Hmm… maybe she doesn't feel as strongly about Jesse as she thought.
Quote #5
She'd fessed up that the two of them had had sex the weekend before, and I felt a surge of jealousy that she'd been the one to have sex first. "So what was it like?"
She shrugged and took another drink. "I don't know. It wasn't anything."
"What do you mean it wasn't anything? Didn't the earth move or the planets align or something?"
"No," she said, smothering a laugh. "Of course not." (10.24-27)
Lissa losing her v-card with Aaron is no big deal to her. Rose is kinda surprised, and kinda jealous too, because she's not there yet with any guy. We'd like to point out Lissa has no problem going to bed with Aaron even though she only has lukewarm feelings for him, but Rose wants to wait for someone special. We're not judging, just saying.
Quote #6
But before and after, he would sometimes lighten up just a little, and I'd see him look at me in a way that was almost admiring. And sometimes, if I was really, really lucky, he'd smile at me. A real smile, too—not the dry one that accompanied the sarcasm we tossed around so often. (11.27)
Our heart melts just thinking about it. We've all had the butterflies in our stomach, that wondering tingly feeling when someone we really like gazes into our eyes. But does Dimitri lead her to believe he likes her that way, or is it all in Rose's head?
