Diana Peterfreund, Rampant“Sometimes you met someone that changed the pattern, who wormed their way past the cracks in your heart, caulked them up, sealed themselves in, and stayed there. Sometimes they did it by insisting you meet them at every step, as Jamie had done to me.”
Diana Peterfreund, Tap & Gown“I don't need to see the trail to know you're at the end of it. My grandfather's compass may not work, but mine is still true.”
Diana Peterfreund, For Darkness Shows the Stars“...You are my compass star." And he was hers.”
Diana Peterfreund, For Darkness Shows the Stars“P—Jamie!” I called. He waded back toward me. “I’m starting to think my name is Pajamie.” “Your name should be Pajerky. You said it wasn’t deep.” “Pajerky?” He gave me a skeptical look. “That’s Pathetic.” “We’ll see how smug you are once I’m on dry land.”
Diana Peterfreund, Rites of Spring (Break)“I can wait in silence no longer, but I’m afraid I’m already too late. I am trapped between agony and hope—believing I have no right to speak, but knowing more how much I’d regret it if I did not. Tell me I’m not wrong. Tell me that, this time, you will accept my offer. Because I’m making it again. I want you with me, Elliot. It’s all I have ever wanted. I offer you everything I have—my world, my ship, my self—perhaps they will be enough to replace what I know you would be giving up if you came with me.”
Diana Peterfreund, For Darkness Shows the Stars“There are a few things that even sarcasm can't protect you from.”
