Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Gone? Oh no, my sweet little bird, my obsession with you has only gotten worse.”
“Let me be clear, Miss Green. That’s not an option.”
“Miss Green, you’ll enjoy anything I stick in that pretty mouth.”
“You can. In my bed. With me.”
“How often does a man find a woman he’d destroy the world for?”
But I won’t give up. I can’t, not when she’s my reason for living. Before her, I simply existed. Now that I know what it feels like to receive her affection, I can never go back to the way things were before.
“Your capacity for forgiveness confuses me, but I need it,” I say. “I’ll never apologize for protecting you because your life is all that matters to me. However, I’m sorry for hurting you.”
“Don’t you get it? If I lose you, Callie, I won’t fucking survive it.”
“Go to hell? Without you, I’m already there.”
“I didn’t until I met you.”
“I needed you there.”
“Love doesn’t make you weak. It gives you the strength to fight for something worth having. Love should bring joy and fulfillment, not sadness and emptiness.” My lips twist with disbelief. “It might be the most painful emotion in existence.” “Only if you’re not with the person you love.” “That’s exactly my point.”
“I think it’s inevitable.”
My little bird.”
“You mean everything to me,” I say. “No matter how much we argue, that’ll never change.”
“Sometimes people have more than one side to them. The one they show the world and the one they keep hidden. That doesn’t mean you can’t love part of them.”
My choices, both good and bad, led me to you.” He looks at me and releases my hand to trail his fingers down my cheek. “All of my pain and suffering was worth the chance of meeting you. Never mind the honor of loving you.”
