Kindle Notes & Highlights
And then you wake up one sunny morning in April on your twenty-seventh birthday to a note on your pillow. Happy birthday, honey. Don’t make a big deal of it. And when you find the telescope you’ve been asking for waiting for you beneath your bedroom window, you don’t even try to stop the tears from coming. And all that lost hope? It comes rushing right back, and you stand there, open your arms, and soak it all in.
Where would I go? If there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that this man sees me. He hears me. He knows me. He makes me feel happy. Safe. Valued. He makes me feel capable.
THIS IS LOVE
I have a hard time believing I was made for anyone, let alone Lennon. Nobody gets that lucky.
“How do I just stop being afraid?” “Maybe you don’t. Maybe you just give her your heart and trust that she’s going to protect it. The same way she trusts you to hold her purse, even though you could lose it.”
“You’re enough, Jaxon, exactly as you stand here today. That’s what I’m waiting for you to realize.”
I want you to do it for you. I want you to love yourself the way everyone else loves you. I want you to realize you’re worth it for you, Jaxon. Not for anyone else.”
“I’ll wait, Jaxon. I don’t care how long. Because this? This is a once-in-a-lifetime feeling. You’re a once-in-a-lifetime find. I’m not walking away.”
“At the end of the day, the only person you need to be enough for is you. But for what it’s worth, you’ve always been enough for us too.”
“There is no one alive who could love me better than you do, Jaxon. You love me the way I always dreamed of being loved. The way I deserve to be loved. And I’m going to love you the way you deserve to be loved.”
Love feels like looking at you and not understanding how something as beautiful as everything you are exists, but just accepting that it does, because a world without you means a world without light.”
“You’re worth it, Jaxon,” she whispers. “You’ve always been worth it.”
always gets me :’)
