“I don’t have the money to buy you all the flowers you deserve yet,” he said, sounding so solemn and formal I couldn’t help but smile at the contrast between his tone and the jar of colorful paper flowers in his hands. “So I made them instead.”
“Happy birthday, amor.” His mouth lingered on mine in a long, sweet kiss. “One day, I’ll buy you a thousand real roses. I promise.”
The thought of living without her was incomprehensible, like asking a heart to stop beating or the stars to give up the night.
Without her, there was no me.
Learning foreign languages didn’t come easily for him, but the fact that he’d done it anyway because he wanted to make a good impression on my family… The ache deepened. God, I adored this man.
“Faria qualquer coisa por você.”
I’m sorry I missed our anniversary dinner and so many more dinners before that. Flowers alone won’t make up for it, but give me a chance to make amends in person and I will. A thousandfold.
“I’m past romantic, Alessandra. I’m desperate.”
Like I said, I didn’t believe in fate…except when it came to us.
while I never wanted to be the powerless, penniless boy I’d been when we’d first met again, I did want to be the man she fell in love with.
I wanted us back, even if it meant stripping away parts of the person I’d worked so hard to build.
After two weeks apart, kissing her felt like coming home.
I’d been missing a vital piece of myself since she walked out, and it was incredible to think I’d somehow taken her for granted when I needed her more than I needed to breathe.
No matter how many times he broke my heart, there would always be a piece that belonged to him.
I had the dim thought that if I did die, I would do so happily because I was exactly where I belonged: with her.
she’d always been the sun keeping my world in orbit.
I believed in you and wanted you to succeed, not because I cared about the money, but because you did. I thought one day, it would be enough, and you would be happy with what we had. But you’ll never be happy, and I’ll never be enough.”
“You can go on as many dates as you want, amor,” Dominic said softly. “But no one will love you like I do. Você e eu. Não tem comparação.”
