Kindle Notes & Highlights
All I know is something has got to change before I’m broken for good.
Suffering alone has always seemed simpler than depending on the shoulders of others.
I always thought the phrase when you know, you know, was bullshit. Especially since Penny has been in my face this whole time. But after everything we shared, I know she’s my person. She’s the one I’m supposed to be with.
“Please don’t break my heart or take away my family,” she says, looking down.
I need to know for sure that this isn’t about forbidden feelings or wanting what you can’t have. What if my person has been in front of me my whole life and I’m just now seeing it? It would be the biggest regret of my life if I didn’t at least give it a shot—a real shot.
“You’re being impulsive.” “No, I’m not,” I tell her sternly, and her eyes search mine. “You’d really want to marry me?” “I want everything with you. I’m sick of not showing you off, of not being with you in the way I want to be. Be my wife, be my everything.”
“Because I’ve never been this happy. You make life worth living, Penny, and I want to spend the rest of mine with you proudly on my arm, my ring on your finger, our kids running around. I want everything and I want it with you.”
