Wild Thing (The Wild Westbrooks #5; The Brighton Family #1)

Seriously, I love Karli. But how do I know that I love her for the right reasons? Not just because I’m trying to fix her or out of some twisted need for control? The mystic nods. “It’s understandable that you’d be scared to repeat your old mistakes.” She chews on the corner of her lip. “But let me ask you something. Do you think that Karli loves you back?” I search my heart, all the way down to the bottom. “Yeah. Yeah, I do.” “And why’s that?” Ziggy asks. “Why do I think she loves me?” The psychic nods. After dragging in a breath, I say, “She listens. I could sit there and ramble on, and she’d listen. And she takes it seriously. She appreciates the things I do for her. She’s always trying to help me find solutions. We problem-solve together.” I drop my head and shake it. “When we’re together, we’re a team. It’s not just one person pulling all the weight. We pull together. When I’m with her, it doesn’t matter if I’m in a good place or in a bad place…when I’m with her I know I’m not alone. That’s something I’ve never had with anyone else.” I rub the back of my neck as I speak. “And she actually wants to grow. As much as I do. I can see us growing together. We’re on the same page about so many things. And when I close my eyes, I see such a bright future for us.”
