Kindle Notes & Highlights
This lingering obsession I’ve had with him has been my blessing and my curse. The sweetest heaven and the bitterest hell.
The way he looks at me, like he can’t actually look away, as if he’s obsessed with what he’s seeing…I would never have expected to see that.
She’s sleeping when I get back, curled up into a little ball. I take a photo of her, suspending the lens directly over her where she lies, tucked into the fetal position, and I know innately that it will be my favorite photo of all time; it could come out blurry as hell and super under exposed and I’ll never take a better one.
“When I’m around you. I don’t need the distraction of a video game or a camera in my hand. My head is quiet.”
“The path of least resistance doesn’t always mean taking the easiest option. Sometimes…it means that your soul finds its way home, toward something it loves, after you’ve held it back for too fucking long. So…do with that what you will, I guess.”
I want you to be mine. I—I’m fucking in love with you, Chase. I want to learn how to show you that. I want to make you fucking believe it. ”
“Can you deal with that, Chase? Do you think you can handle being loved by me? ’Cause I don’t think I can handle being without you anymore.”
“I love you, too. I am yours,” I whisper. “I have been since the second I woke up on that sidewalk outside the hospital and I saw you looking down at me. From that moment on, you’ve held my entire existence in the palm of your hand.”
When he kisses me, it’s like being touched by the sun.
“I’d find a way to rip the goddamn moon right out of the sky if you begged me for it,”
“You don’t need to do anything to be worthy of me. I’ll take you as you are, Pax Davis. I’ve always been willing to take you exactly as you are. Caustic remarks, sharpened teeth, claws and all. I know who you are. I see you. I accept you.”
