Collection of quotes from fics I've read: Smoke-Filled Heart

• Tao is a homewrecker. Kris takes without giving back.
• Tao's problem resided in his inability to say no. Or so he told himself.
• Now that he'd given everything away, what was left for him to piece back together?
• Feeling as though he'd just been struck by lightning, Tao began his slow walk towards home, the winter air nipping angrily his skin, with only the smoke from his cigarette to fill the gaping hole in his heart.
• It wasn't the ideal fix, but hey, he had to start somewhere.
