Wildfire (Maple Hills, #2)

by Hannah Grace

“Because it’s easier to wake up and you’re not here than it is to watch you leave me.”

“What’re you doing?” “I’m watching you go in so you don’t have to watch me leave.”

“I’d wait forever for you, Aurora.”

“You’re so beautiful,” he whispers. This is what being wanted and valued feels like. This is the feeling I want forever.

“I’ve spent my life trying to stick to the rules. I’ve kept my head down, kept my stories and secrets and done my best to carry around my baggage alone. She makes me not want to be alone anymore. I’m sorry I broke the rules, but I don’t regret it, and I’d do it again if it meant I could do it with her. I’m grateful for the opportunity your family has given me, but I’m more grateful for her.”
