Kindle Notes & Highlights
People always wanted to talk about the falling-in-love part, the rush of hormones and giddy excitement and breathless kisses. But being in love, sharing a life, meant so much more. You loved someone knowing all their scars and vulnerabilities and flaws. You loved someone even when they hurt you; more than that, you let them hurt you, because the last thing you wanted was to become a burden on that person—another weight pressing on their shoulders, when they already carried so much.
