Saving 6 (Boys of Tommen, #3)

by Chloe Walsh

“You shouldn’t settle for comfortable, Molloy. You shouldn’t settle for anything less than being in love to the point of madness. The only person that you should be settling for is the person who unsettles you the most. The person who drives you to the brink of suicide because he or she makes you feel so fucking much that you can’t catch your breath or remotely function without them. “And what’s more is you won’t want to. You won’t want to breathe, or feel, or fucking function without them. That’s how you’ll know that it’s a real relationship, Molloy. Only when you’re feeling the most discomfort you’ve ever felt in your entire life should you even consider settling. Because that’s when you’ll know you’re in love, which sounds to me like a hell of a lot nicer way to live than settling for someone you have nothing in common with because it’s comfortable.”

I wanted to be in the moment with her and not just float through it.

“That girl is her own person, lad. Believe me. Nobody’s going to cage her.”

“Oh, Jesus.” “Not Jesus, just Joey.”

“Details.” “A lady never tells.” “Good thing we both know that you’re not one of those.”

“Aoife, I’m going to be roast fucking beef when your father gets his hands on me.”

“You’re a grand lad, Joey,” Tony added, giving my shoulder a squeeze. “A lad I would be happy to see look after my Aoife.”

“Don’t hate me, Molloy,” Joey mumbled, falling into the passenger seat the moment I let him go to open the car door. “You’re all I have to wake up for in the morning.”
