Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Say what you want, sweetheart. I need you to be perfectly clear.”
“And even if it wasn’t…A few hours ago you were telling me that this wasn’t what you want. When you change your mind for good—and you will—I want you to know you’re not just coming down from an adrenaline high. You want me as much as I want you. It’s not circumstantial.”
Why not take your happiness where you can find it, even if it’s not forever?”
“This is blackmail.” “No, sweetheart. This is respect. I want more than sex, and I don’t know how to prove that to you other than saying no.”
“The world should change if someone like my brother dies. It should mourn and cry, and the face of it should be altered. Except none of that happened. It kept on spinning and we were expected to do the same. So we’re all in our private little hells and no one talks to anyone else and it’s just this giant clusterfuck that I’m sure a shrink would have a heyday with.”
“Karma is a serious bitch, because that’s the only way to explain that the one woman I fall head over heels in love with is the one I have to let go in order to keep her safe. I couldn’t deal with it if something happened to either one of you because I tried to find a way to let you stay, and failed.” He paced from one end of the room to the other. “Fuck, what am I saying? You want to go. So that makes me even more of an ass for wanting you to stay.”
“I love you.” She wanted to hug him, but she needed him to see the truth on her face. “I never planned on it, and I still can’t quite wrap my mind around it, but I love you so much it hurts.”
“I don’t know what the future will bring, but I do know that I want you in my life in a permanent way. The rest will figure itself out.”
