Kindle Notes & Highlights
I wish I could stay in the nothingness where I felt free and peaceful and there wasn’t this crushing sadness pressing on my chest so hard it felt as if my ribs were about to splinter.
“You’re the same girl you’ve always been. You’re funny, kind, loving, and smart. You are brave, and while we all know you’re scared, you will find your way back.”
“If you couldn’t remember the last three years of your life, what would you do?” He looks at me with sympathy. “I would go back to the beginning and work to find the end.”
“But what if that single moment changed your entire story?” “Maybe it should because my brain doesn’t want to remember the plot anyway . . .”
Spencer won’t let me fall apart, and Isaac would want him to stand with me.
I don’t remember how or who. I don’t recall what took him from us all. I only see the truth that my brother is gone. He’s dead, and I am the only person who knows and yet doesn’t know anything.
“I know exactly who you are, Brielle Davis. You are smart and sweet. You are a horrific dancer who thinks she’s the next big star. You sing in the car because you can’t stop yourself. You love kids and want to keep all of them from ever being in a bad situation.
I am lost in this world that doesn’t make sense. How can I not know who people are? People who clearly care about me.
I really hope I find out that I like the person behind the door.
As much as there was the feel of him touching me, I remember the safety. The fact that I never once believed I would ever hit the ground because he wouldn’t drop me.
“Selfishly, we all want things, but doing what is best for the other person is what love is.”
The only thing I have right now is this insane plan to re-walk my life.”
“The one thing I’ve always been so envious of is your ability to make a choice and live by it. I know you feel lost, but trust your instinct because I’ve never seen it lead you astray.”
“And all I want is for you to get better—and not just so we’ll know what happened. I want you to remember because before everything went sideways, you were happy. I want you to find that again, so if something or someone doesn’t feel right to you, try to remember what I said about your instinct, okay?”
I need to be able to rely on the man I love, and if you wanted this to be our second chance, you failed me already.”
“Maybe you can’t replace it, but you can make something even better.”
“I had a guess, but it was really fun watching you try not to turn beet red. Valiant effort on your part.”
Spencer can look at you, see more than anyone else, and never judge.
“You were never forgotten. Not by the people who loved you.”
“It did hurt for a bit, but then I remembered that we all have the same ending. No matter what roads we take, there is only one outcome.
We started off as nothing and she became everything.
“Yeah, you should worry because I love her more than my own life.”
“Every woman I’ve ever loved has forgotten about me. I don’t know where there’s value there.”
It’s like the saying about putting on the air mask for yourself before your child, you can’t save someone else if you don’t save yourself.”
“I have always thought you were beautiful, smart, kind, and funny, even if you do say the most ridiculous things sometimes.”
“I want to help you remember, not allow you to forget.”
“No, sir, but . . . where are your kids?” “My what?”
I love her. I fucking love her even more right now. She’s back to the girl I remember, who’s all quick wit and humor.
“I want . . . please tell me you want me to kiss you.”
“Don’t close them next time, just turn your head and look at me. I’ll shade you so you can still see.”
“You have always been different to me. It just wasn’t the right time.”
“It’s so hard for me to know what’s reality and what’s a dream.”
“Wishes and wants don’t mean it’s the right choice, and that’s what matters,”
“I am going to make you forget everything in this world but me, do you understand?”
I don’t want to think anymore. I want to feel and be lost because he’s what anchors me anyway.
“He’s right, you know.” “Right about what?” “I would lose everything for you.”
I listened to you tell me you wanted to forget the man who gave you that ring because he must be what’s wrong in your life.”
It feels as though I’m living on a broken mirror that’s reflecting distorted and shattered images and cutting me every time I move.
I spent my entire life searching for something worth fighting for, and you were in front of me the whole time. You saved me, Brielle, even if you don’t remember doing it.
I love you so much that even the idea of losing this is too much for me to think about.”
“I think it’s time we talk about telling everyone. I don’t want to love you in the dark anymore.”
“I couldn’t really forget, and even when I did, I still wanted you. I longed for you, wished it was you, and that’s why I was so upset.”
“I am your fiancé, and you are my whole fucking world.”
“The entire story is a love letter to you.”
“You never lost me, Spencer. Not even when I was lost.”
‘Your heart is meant to be with the person next to you.’”
