Quotes by Samara Parish  (?)

“Do you love her?” “Of course I bloody love her. Frankly, I don’t know how you were engaged to her for fifteen years without falling in love with her. She’s intelligent and kind and completely aggravating. She’s honest, brutally so at times, but it’s always because she wants to make things better than they are. And I want her in my life forever.” I want her in my life forever. Saying the words out loud tattooed them onto his very soul. I want her in my life forever.”
Samara Parish, How to Survive a Scandal

“I’m not your mother. I like…this.” She ran her hand across his chest, her cheeks flushing as she did. “And I’m not wasting away.” “I know that.” “Do you?” she whispered. “Because I promise you, I’m not going anywhere.”
Samara Parish, How to Survive a Scandal

“He caught her hand. He didn’t want her sympathy. His school years had been hard, but they’d taught him better lessons than Latin and algebra. They’d taught him that the upper classes looked on everyone else as no better than dogs, and smart men kept as far away from them as possible.”
Samara Parish, How to Survive a Scandal
