Kindle Notes & Highlights
There aren’t many people who I genuinely hate with every fiber of my being—in fact, my list is comprised of only one name: Zane Windsor.
“Because I missed you, my beautiful Celestial. I missed that soft huff that escapes your lips when I annoy you, the way your eyes flash when I outdo you, the way you challenge me to do better.”
I’ve waited years for a shot with her—I won’t wait another second, won’t let my own dumb behavior come between us the way it used to.
“Wasn’t that obvious? You were my first, and you ruined me for everyone else.”
“I’d never forgive myself if I hurt you again, Celeste. You promised me one chance just moments ago, didn’t you? So give me one chance to prove to you I’ve changed. Ask for your favor, and whatever it is, I’ll grant it.”
I get that I was nothing but a source of torment for you, Celeste, but for me…some days, you were the only reason I kept going. You’re the reason I never gave up, even on days I wanted to.”
“I might not own you, per se, but you belong with me.”
“You took my first kiss and my first time, and now you’re my first girlfriend. How many more firsts will you take? I’ll give them all to you if you want them.”
“Celeste Harrison, I love you with all my heart, and I always will—against all odds, regardless of what anyone might say or think. Do you understand?”
“I love you, and someday, I’m going to make you my wife. That’s a vow, Celeste.”
“Walk down that aisle toward him, and it’s the last you’ll see of him,” I threaten, my voice low, heavy with something I can’t quite define.
She’s insane if she thinks she’ll marry Clifton. I’ll bury him underneath my mother’s precious roses before I let her walk down an aisle that has him waiting for her on the other end.
“I’ll never want anyone but you, Celeste. I never have.”
“I’m not the kind of man that’d deny his wife anything.”
“There isn’t a single thing about you I could ever forget, no matter how hard I try, no matter how much it hurts.”
“I vow to love you and only you, forever and always. Through the ups and downs, I’ll be faithful, compassionate, and patient. I’ve loved you through all the seasons in life, Celeste, and I’ll continue to do so. Day after day, I will choose you, no matter what. That, my beautiful Celestial, is a vow.”
“The good, the bad, and everything in between. I love all of it, Celeste, every single part of you.”
