“Second date?” He chuckled. “No, Daisy. I want all the dates. Every date.”
“Baby, I know you’re used to mediocrity considering your previous boyfriends, but we don’t do acceptable here. You deserve more than that.”
I was going to be the clingiest fucking boyfriend, and I didn’t even care. I was obsessed.
There would never be anyone better for Juniper than me, and there would never, ever be anyone better for me than Juniper.
“You caught me a long fucking time ago, Juni. I never could escape you. I tried. God knows, I tried. I moved across the country for college because I thought it would help me forget you, but how could I ever forget someone as goddamn perfect as you?”
She’d always been perfect. But I’d realized recently the only thing I ever wanted to change about her was her last name.
You told me that you’re mine, but baby, I’m yours. I’ve always been yours. And I’ve never wanted anything as much as I want you. I will always want you.”

“I’m in love with you, Juniper St. James.
I know a lot of things have changed between us recently, but the one thing that has never changed is how much I love you. I have always…loved you.”
“I love the way you smell and the way you smile. I love your laugh and your lies. So many, many lies we’ve told, Juni.”
“I don’t need anything but you,”
“But I want to take you home and tell the rest of my family that you’re mine. I want to officially make you into a Briggs one day. I want to make more Briggs with you.
“You’re the love of my life, Juniper,”
But…I realized you were more than just a single flower, a single name.”
“You were a whole goddamn bouquet, baby.”
“My nicknames do belong to you, Julian. But so does my heart. And a whole lot more.”
