Kindle Notes & Highlights
It’s easier to demonize her in my mind. Safer that way. I’ve always played it safe, played it smart, and I always will. A girl isn’t going to change that, I’ll slit her throat myself before I let her.
“I could never and will never get over you, Skyla. I’m already fucking sunk. My life is literally on the line here, yours too, but I’m here. I’m thinking about you in ways I shouldn’t, holding you like you’re mine to keep. I can honestly say that I don’t see a reality where you won’t be my every moment’s desire.”
“You. I want you, Skyla. I’ll do whatever it takes. I’ll beg and plead, I’ll lay at your feet and kneel before you every day. Whatever you need, whatever you want, it’s yours. I would stop the earth on its axis for you.”
“This belongs to you, only you. I need you more than I need air in my lungs, or the feeling of water around me on a hard day. If you don’t want me though, I’ll understand and I’ll let you go.”
He treats me like I’m the most precious thing in the world, and he doesn’t know if he wants to keep me safe or break all my pieces apart just so he can memorize each individual fragment.
