“It was actually pretty common for women not to scream or call the cops in rape cases I prosecuted,” Roe said, “at least partly because women aren’t wired to react that way. We are socialized to be likeable and not to create friction. We are brought up to be nice. Women are supposed to resolve problems without making a scene—to make bad things go away as if they never happened.”

"Sometimes love is disguised as something evil. Something horrible."

"Yes. It is."

"So when you find true love, that makes your heart swell and comforts you, that makes you feel safe and protected, you fight for it, Simon. You fight."

"She said she needs time to think."

"Give it to her, but then you go after her and you fight for her. Nothing in this world will be more worth it."

"I know."

“Booze is universal, it brings people together, and a lot of times it results in the creation of more people. What could be more magical than something that does all that?”

“How do you know if you can really trust someone?” I finally ask.

Noah raises his eyebrows and takes a sip of his drink.

Then he looks into my eyes and the expression in his is so earnest I feel like he’s answering from a deeply personal place.

“If you need to ask that question, then you probably already know the answer,” he says.
