Kindle Notes & Highlights
I felt sick to my stomach. Her words like hot oil on my skin. I wasn’t even dating the guy and already, people were trying to use me.
But all I saw was her… And the fact that she was fucking wearing Ari’s fucking number on her back.
“Just get in the car, baby,” he repeated patiently, like he knew the words I didn’t. “When something feels this fucking good, you don’t fight it. You just follow it to the ends of the earth, no matter where it takes you.”
People said false platitudes, thinking they would make you feel better. And it never worked. So I just held him. I gave him my body. I gave him all I had.
Living for someone was the most unselfish thing you could do.
It was time to get back to my girl. I'd never let her leave, I thought as I drove. No matter what, I'd make her happy, even if it meant locking her up and waiting for fucking Stockholm Syndrome to take hold. My thoughts were fucked, I knew that. But that was what she’d done to me. This feeling. It was all-consuming. I'd never experienced anything like it before.
She was going to leave me, and I knew there would be no way to reason with her, not so close to finding everything out. I would’ve been able to track her down–the tracker she thought was just a birth control implant took care of that–but even being away from her for that long was something I couldn’t allow.
We’d both bleed out before I let her go.
I didn’t argue, because…he was right. If you got the chance to experience the kind of love that breaks you and heals you all at once… The answer should always be yes.
