Kindle Notes & Highlights
“What do you know, Cinderella?” he said with a smirk. “Looks like Prince Charming came with both shoes this time.”
“It’s Brandon,” he said. “You should call me Brandon. Especially since I asked you up here because I’d like to fuck you. Tonight, if that works.”
“Oh my God! What the fuck is wrong with you? Are you some kind of creep? I don’t know what about me makes you think ‘cheap
hooker,’ but Jesus FUCKING Christ! I might be the daughter of a garbage collector, but that doesn’t make me trash! Do you always treat women like this? Did you not learn that no means no? Do I need to call the fucking cops?”
Sometimes a prince is really just the devil in disguise.”
“I’m guessing you want to be with someone who’s as observant as you are, who doesn’t become predictable. Because being ten steps ahead of anyone in the bedroom is boring.”
“I just don’t understand how a man—if you can even call him that—could not see what he has in front of him. How he could fuck up the best thing—the best person—he could ever hope for in his pathetic excuse for a life.”
“You won’t go anywhere, will you?”
“Why? For the same reason that I do anything for you, Skylar. Because I love you.”
“It sounds to me like Brandon is strong enough for my granddaughter, but he needs someone to be strong for him too.”
It’s been over a month. I thought at first that time would make my heart disappear again. Instead, being without you has only made me understand just how much you changed me.
This will be the last letter. You deserve to pursue your dreams on your own without being chased. But should you ever want to share those dreams with me again, Red, I’ll be here. Because my heart doesn’t exist without you.
“Not a right, baby, a need. I need you like I need air to breathe, so I’m fighting for you! For us!”
“I’ll always be glad I met you, Skylar Crosby,” he whispered. “You brought me back to life, and I’ll always love you for it.”
