Sexiness was a quantitative index of how much skin shows with a V-neck T-shirt. Logan Luxembourg stood firm with his philosophy. It was his gospel. He thought he was the apex predator, an alpha male. But he was just a V-neck T-shirt draped over a broken heart. This is the epiphany that love does not fall from the sky. Sexiness was a qualitative measure of another's identity. Troye Angelou was someone who most thought of as a fool. A fool to give up his livelihood to another; to lose his own will on issues that concerned his life. He was the prey, a puppet. This is the realization that love can be toxic too. Perhaps Logan's identity was his neck-line and Troye's was built by someone else. They were different, yet so similar. They were lost in themselves, so much to fight for, but no one to fight against. They knew that love could be forever. Until that day came, they would fantasize of a love that never ended; of a lover that loved despite their flaws, unconditionally.

"Let me convince you that love exists" Benjamin grinned at me. "Love is just some delusion our mind creates to make sure we procreate" I rolled my eyes. "And even if it did exist, wouldn't falling in love with you just hurt me in the end anyway?" "Maybe not" Benjamin shrugged. "If you don't believe in love by graduation, I'll tell everyone that you're the better hockey player" "Really?" I asked and he nodded. "Fine. Just don't get your hopes up too high, Prescott." Sage Preston didn't believe in love, which is surprising, considering her family is filled with true love stories. Benjamin Prescott, the son of her families long time rivals, is adamant to prove her wrong and show her how amazing love is. She's 90% sure that she'll win this bet. The 10% is uncertain because she remembers how hurt she was when Benjamin rejected her in 7th grade. { Book 3 of the Preston series }

I think that sometimes the universe likes to play sick jokes on people. Like sometimes you drop the ice cream you've been craving on the floor before you're able to get a bite or you crack the screen of your brand new cell phone.
