Before the Sunset (Cottonwood Cove, #4)

by Laura Pavlov

She smelled like violet and amber. It had always been my favorite scent. Reese Murphy had always smelled like home.

He smiled so wide that I couldn’t help but smile back. Because Finn Reynolds really was my favorite person on the planet.

I don’t fucking leave, Miney. I’m not the one trying to make you into someone you’re not. I’ve always known who you are.”

My hair whipped around me, and we stayed right beside one another. Stride for stride. And we made it to the water… just before the sunset.

there was no world that I existed in that she wasn’t a part of.

She thought this was temporary. I knew that it wasn’t.

Damn, I loved this girl in a way I couldn’t wrap my head around. More than a friend. More than a lover. Reese Murphy was… everything. And she was going to be mine in every way.

being loved by Finn Reynolds had been life-changing for me.

I’ve loved you my entire life, Reese Murphy. That will never fade.”

There was a gold horse charm and one of the sun, and it was engraved with the words, Before the sunset, as that had always been our favorite time together.

I think of you every night before the sun sets. It’s our time. Always has been, always will be.
