Fall Into You (Morally Gray, #2)

by J.T. Geissinger

To all the girls I’ve been and the dark roads we traveled alone.

And your man didn’t dump you. He freed you. He did you a favor. Take all that energy back that you’re wasting mourning the relationship and focus it on yourself. A queen doesn’t need the love of the village idiot.”

“That’s being generous. Because any man who’d let a woman like you go is nothing but a little bitch.”

“There’s no such thing as too needy. The wrong person will never be able to meet your needs. Stop giving people grace who make you feel like you’re the problem. And stop holding on to who he pretended to be. He lied.”

It takes a man with a good heart to recognize when he’s the monster in someone else’s story. The courage it takes to break his own heart to save another’s proves he’s not really a monster. He’s a hero. He just wants to think of himself as the bad guy so he never gets hurt again.”

Many months later, after both our hearts are battered and bloodied, after all our tears have been shed and we’re strangers once again, I’ll look back on this moment and realize I was already lost.

“What I wanted was love. What’s better than that?” “Men don’t abandon women they love. They abandon women they were using.”

Many months later, I’ll look back on this moment and realize I never had a chance. I was a goner the second she sat down next to me and smiled.

“I only want to make you feel good. Whatever you need, ask for it. If I do something you don’t like, tell me. Let’s pretend we’ve loved each other all our lives and nothing we say or do could ever change that. Let’s pretend, just for tonight, just with each other, that we’re where we’ve always belonged.”

In another life, I would love this woman. I’d love her so much, I’d burn down the whole world just to spend an afternoon by her side.

“I can’t tell you.” “Why?” “Because I can’t have you hate me. It would end me if you hated me. I can handle anything but that.”

“I think you’re beautiful. All your parts. All your broken pieces. They’re beautiful to me, and so are you. So if I never get the chance to tell you again, I’m telling you now that if you and your monsters ever decide you need a home, you have one in me.”

“Sometimes we hold onto things we shouldn’t because we’re lonely.”

if you ever start to hate me, you’ll walk away. Because I already know I won’t be able to walk away from you. I already know I’m not strong enough. This thing with us, this connection…it’s everything I ever wanted, and everything I know I don’t deserve. So I’m gonna hold onto it as if my life depends on it. I’m gonna hold on even if I should let go. You’ll have to be the one to end it, if it comes to that. Promise me you will.”

“Why do I feel like I’m nine years old, headed to Disneyland for the first time?” “Because you’re adorable. But watch out. At my Disneyland, Mickey Mouse fucks Minnie on the jungle cruise.”
