― Krista Ritchie, Long Way Down

“People say you can’t describe love, but I have this theory that you can. It’s just subjective. Do you want to know what love feels like for me? It’s breathing and suffocating. Sobbing and smiling. Yearning and fading. To ache that much harder. To live that much larger. It’s every moment. Every single, tiny one.”
― Krista Ritchie, Long Way Down

“So I pointed at the sun ascending in the horizon. Just as the darkened sky began to lighten. “Keep your eyes there.” Her green ones flickered to me before following my finger. Her pulse picked up speed. “And what happens when it disappears?” I would’ve loved to tell her that it never would. That no matter where we were the sun would always be present. But it wouldn’t have been true. The only thing we could count on was that the sun would rise again. “Wait for it to return,” I told her.”
― Krista Ritchie, Long Way Down

“He never gives up on me, even when I disappear at night. Even when I wane like the setting sun. His love is unyielding and exists to cloak me through heartache, through misery, through laughter and pain. I love him in every moment.
In every smile. In every frown.
And I will love him after every long way down.”
― Krista Ritchie, Long Way Down

― Krista Ritchie, Long Way Down

“I’m always going to fucking be here,” he reminds me. “You won’t be alone, sweetheart.”
― Krista Ritchie, Long Way Down

“I’ve always fucking loved you in my arms.”
― Krista Ritchie, Long Way Down

“I want to fucking protect her from the pain that her friends bring, but I can’t shield her from people. I couldn’t do that four years ago. I can’t fucking do it now.
I’m just here when she needs me. Whatever she fucking wants. I’m here.”
― Krista Ritchie, Long Way Down

“I breathe deeply, and he hovers above me.
“I’m going to fuck you,” he says, yanking off my pants. The cold nips my skin. “I’m going to have sex with you.” He kisses me strongly while lifting my sweater off my head. “I’m going to make love to you.” His eyes bore into mine. “All at fucking once.” His gaze dances over my features. “Not because of a fucking theory. I can’t think of a place I’d rather be right now than with you. Truth is, I can’t think of a place I’d rather be in fifty fucking years than next to you.”
― Krista Ritchie, Long Way Down

“So whatever anyone says, whatever anyone thinks - I've lived so very long. I've been in love. I've been free.
I'd like to think, no matter where I go, I can still be found. Just look up.
I'll be there. That's where I'll be.
Every time the sun shines down, maybe you'll think of me.”
― Krista Ritchie, Long Way Down

“While we rest in silence, pages are being written between us. Telling the story of a crazy, sad girl and a fucking dangerous, lonely guy. I”
― Krista Ritchie, Long Way Down

“My hand slid to the back of her head, and I felt her body react in a way that surprised her. I drew back only a fraction, my lips close to her ear. I whispered, “I’m not fucking scared of you.” If she wanted to dive headfirst, I was going to dive right behind her. She knew that was true.”

The only thing we could count on was that the sun would rise again.
"Wait for it to return," I told her.
She gave me the saddest smile I'd ever fucking seen. "That's an awfully long time."
For some people, I knew a minute could seem like an infinity. So maybe one night seemed like forever to Daisy.
"Hey, Calloway," I said softly, tucking a flyaway strand of hair behind her ear, one that escaped her pony.
"Hey," she whispered back.
"You ready to feel your fucking heart burst out of your chest?"
Her features illuminated tenfold. And she said quietly, "Yes.”

“I’m just excited.” So excited that I start grinning like a fool every time I meet his eyes. I’m so giddy. His own smile grows. “You look lovesick, Calloway.” He messes my hair. “I think this must be the best sickness there is.” My cheeks hurt; I can’t contain anything.”
― Krista Ritchie, Long Way Down

“It could have been fantasy. While I love the idea of swimming with mermaids, climbing aboard a pirate ship, being the last beings on Earth—there is nothing better than my reality. I can’t think of a greater, more magnificent adventure. Than this one.”
― Krista Ritchie, Long Way Down

“Wanna make wolf pups with me, Calloway?”
― Krista Ritchie, Long Way Down

“My journal. It’s the new item in my life where I’ve translated my future into lists. And these lists, they’re actually being checked off. My future is being molded by my own will, and it’s something exciting. I know exactly what I’m going to be doing five, ten, twenty years down the line. Even thinking about it, my chest puffs out and I could toss my hands in the air and howl.”
