Kindle Notes & Highlights
Aiden treats Maggie right. He loves her loudly and softly, in front of everyone and when no one is watching. I always catch him looking at her, this dopey smile of adoration on his face, like he can’t believe she’s his.
I think it’s the knowledge of being close to something. Of knowing if you work just a little harder, put in a little more effort, it can be yours.
Sometimes everything lines up, and magic happens.
know I can’t stop every nasty article that might be printed about you or tell you to block every asshole comment on your photos on social media. But I promise to protect you from what I can control. When you’re with me, you’re going to be safe, alright?”
“A home isn’t measured by the size of the structure. It’s measured by what’s inside. And I can tell your home has a lot of love.”
“Doesn’t matter. Fake. Real. I don’t give a shit. I take care of what’s mine, and right now, you are mine.”
“Your smile is my favorite smile.”
Here with him is magic.
“I’ve never wanted someone as much as I want you.”
I look at Lacey, and it hits me square in the chest. She’s my favorite person in the entire world.
When I’m with him, I feel like I can fly.
“I’ll take a bad day with him over a good day with anyone else.”
“Yes and no. I think some love is hot and heavy. It burns fast and bright, like the flash of lightning in a summer storm. Other love takes more time. It’s more… raw. Real. Slow and steady. It’s uncovering bits and pieces of someone and dusting away that coat of armor they’ve put around themselves. It’s also relentless, because it keeps showing up. It’s sneaky and it’s annoying, because just when you think you’ve escaped, just when you think you’ve gotten away without being burned, you realize you’re totally obsessed with someone and your world is on fire when they’re around.”
“You feel more like home to me every day.”
If she were mine, I’d make sure she smiled every day. A hundred times a day, because the world is a better place when she’s happy.
To be mine until the end of time.
“You win every time. It’s not even close. Even with a billion choices, it would still be you.”
“She’s my favorite person in the entire world.”
“People who like each other always find a way to stay around.”
I already can’t wait to be home with my girl.
And I would tell you I love you. Very much and very often, because I do.
“How does forever sound?”
You looked at me, and I thought I was struck by fucking lightning.
