Kindle Notes & Highlights
Ten fucking years away from this and my heart still slammed in uneven beats with desperation. I want her.
“It was always supposed to be you. Please give him another chance, give this another chance…I can already tell he loves them.”
“I never moved on, Bex. It was like you just kept going with me, everything new I did…every place I moved. It’s like I’ve been numb, waiting for you to come back into my life.”
“I’d be willing to do whatever it takes to keep my career, the thing I’ve worked the past ten years for. After you left me, I found it, and it’s been there for me. Right, wrong, or indifferent, I’m not going to throw it all away for this.”
“I’m not risking anything else. I almost lost this role because of you. I was confused, but now I’m seeing crystal fucking clear. You’re not over your ex, and I’m unwilling to risk you leaving me again, so my job comes first. It will always come first because I don’t trust you, Bexley. I could never trust you.”
The trouble with choosing someone first was, so often, they didn’t choose you back, and it felt like flames against your skin when you realized your heart belonged to them regardless. Ryan would always be my first choice, and now I knew without a shadow of doubt that I would never be his.
“Because you’re not my second choice, Bexley Black. You’re not an afterthought. I made the worst mistake of my life letting you assume you were anything less than my everything. I love you. You’re it for me. Acting was never supposed to be the thing I loved…it was only ever you.”
“I took you for granted ten years ago. I knew you were the one for me then, but I just let you hang in the background while I chased my dreams…always assuming you’d wait there in the shadow of my spotlight. Then, I get this second chance with you, and because I was too chickenshit to own up to my insecurities, I let you go again.”
“Because this thing between us, it’s something that happens only once, and I’ve managed to almost lose it twice. I won’t risk it again.”
“And where do you belong?” “With you. Always with you…and maybe as a little league coach…and if Bella will have me, a dad who dresses up like a prince, so she can be my princess.”
