Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Promise me you’ll always remember that. Never, ever doubt that I love you, Gray.”
“You know you’re always safe with me, Kathryn. I’d die before I ever let anything hurt you,”
“I don’t want any babies if they’re not yours, Gray. I want a little girl with your green eyes. We’ll name her Graycee, and I already know she’s going to be a huge daddy’s girl.”
“March eighteenth. Every year, he mourns you like you died, Kathryn. You know how I know that? Because I’ve flown out here on that day, every year, to help him through it. Do you have any idea what it’s been like watching him fall apart? He looked for you for years, Kathryn. And even though I knew it was your choice, I always hoped he’d find you and bring you back.”
“Two thousand, one hundred, and eighty-four days,” he says. “That’s how long I’ve been looking for you. So, imagine my surprise when you show up right here, in Vancouver, on my metaphorical doorstep, after all this time.”
“You might hate me, Grayson Monroe, but I know you also still love me. Otherwise you would have killed me by now.”
“Love you too, Daddy,” she says, then adds, “And, Daddy, make sure you hit ʼem harder.”
“I do, but you were right. No matter how much I hate you, I still love you. I’ve always loved you, Kathryn.”
“I think we will always be an us, Kathryn. We probably have some shit to work through, but it’s always been you. It will always be you.”
“You are Grayson Monroe, a Stanley Cup champion. A father, a damn good one too. You’re my…” I pause, wondering what title is appropriate. “You’re my person, Gray. You’re my soul mate. But don’t tell Lil that because she really does think that’s her spot. And you are a good man. You’re caring, loyal, and fiercely protective of the people you love. Can you be an ass at times? Sure.” I smile and Grayson frowns at me. “But you’re an ass I happen to love and really don’t want to have to go back to living without. Ever again,” I tell him.
