Kindle Notes & Highlights
Sometimes unexpected things are exactly what we need to light up our lives and breathe fresh air into something that’s been resting in dust.
There’s something about her—I don’t even know how to explain it. I feel different when she’s around, and I don’t remember ever experiencing anything like it.
“If you meet a girl you like, one who causes your heartbeat to speed up, who is constantly on your mind, day and night; one who stirs such strong emotions within you that it is hard to control yourself. If you meet a girl like that, promise me you will bring her here and introduce her to me.”
“Didn’t know we live in a fantasy,” Layla sneers. “Where are my fucking dragons when I need them?” “They are still eggs, Daenerys. Have patience,” I say between fits of laughter.
This girl is a fucking hurricane, and I’m right in the middle of it. In all honesty, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.
There’s something about her that makes me lose my head. It’s like a switch flips, and my mind shifts to only one thing: being completely obsessed with Ava. I desperately want to have her, not only in my bed, but in my life, and that’s why this shit scares me to death.
I haven’t been in the library for two years, but to finally get to see her? I’d go to the end of the fucking earth.
For the first time in my entire life, I met a girl who turned my world upside down. Fucked up my head and made me brainless. I feel alive around her and empty when she’s not with me.
She wears no makeup and is still absolutely gorgeous. I’m pulled to her like a magnet. She’s my kind of orbit, and I revolve around her every damn minute of every day.
She’s a free spirit, and caging her in would only break her wings. I love the way she is, and I don’t want any other version of her.
“Good. I don’t want you to look at or think about anyone else.” I burst out laughing as I press the elevator button. “You think there’s space for anyone else in my head? You corrupted every brain cell I have.”
I definitely met my match in her. She’s everything I want. She’s my fucking sun, and I revolve around her. Without her, I feel lost, as if the law of gravity isn’t working.
I glance at her over my shoulder, raking my gaze over her face and her disheveled braids. She’s still sleepy, and my heart swells with happiness. The way I feel about her overwhelms me and throws me off every damn time. She’s the best thing that’s happened to me in my entire life.
“There’s no what-if. I love you, Ava. I love how strong and confident you are, because it motivates me to be the same way. I love how vulnerable you can be, because now I know sharing my worries and concerns doesn’t make me weak. It means I can be myself with you, the real me, flawed and closed off to most people. Just like you can be yourself with me. You let me see you, the real you. And I fucking fell in love with you, babe. With a feisty girl who didn’t hesitate to slap a total stranger for his disrespectful words. With a compassionate friend who would do anything for their closest people.

With your beautiful soul, and your constant desire to challenge me, to push my limits. You’re the only girl in the world I’ll ever see. Always.”
Even a day without you feels like the loneliest eternity, one I have no desire to go back to ever. I fell in love with you once and for all, and I’m certain you’re the best thing that ever happened to me.”
Books and movies usually paint an idyllic picture of motherhood and parenting, while in reality? I believe our society doesn’t realize how hard it is to be a mom. But it’s a choice we make, so it’s not about complaints.
wraps me in his arms, and I’m melting already. His warmth envelops me, filling my heart with joy and happiness. The way I love this man is overwhelming and exhilarating. Nothing compares to it.
As my wife often says, most of the time, women don’t need big gestures, expensive gifts, or declarations of love. They just need their men by their side and present.
Our lips collide, and the world around us ceases to exist. Ava is my end and my beginning. She’s my weakness and my strength. She’s my soulmate, and I’m incredibly grateful to her for giving me a chance. For letting me in and allowing me to love her. For loving me back and being my family. She’s my only one, and it’ll stay like this forever. Always.
