Kindle Notes & Highlights
“If waging a war for one woman is a crime, then please do consider me a criminal.”
“If killing thousands to keep you alive is wrong, then consider me a villain.”
“If loving you this much is my downfall . . . then consider me already on my knees.”
“I would do it a thousand times over, heart; you should know that. I will choose you over the world every single time.”
“You provoke him with your very presence.”
“You’ll watch how you speak to my wife in our home.”
“You’re right. I don’t know what love is. I don’t know how to love. If you ever gave me another chance to love you, I would learn. I would learn the right way to love you.”
all that is buried eventually rises.
“I don’t recognize you, love.” “You’re not supposed to.”

She closed her eyes and wondered why death always seemed to follow her.
Lately, happiness seemed like flowers that withered before she could pluck them for herself.
Slowly, his gaze never leaving hers, Grim went to his knees before her. He took her hands as gently as if they were made of glass and bowed his head.
“I won’t pretend I’ll ever be a good man,” he said. “But I’ll be good to you.”
He whispered, right against the crown of her head, “I’m holding everything I’ve ever wanted.”
“I’m not sure of much in this world, Isla, but I am sure of this. My love for you doesn’t know reason. It doesn’t know limit. It doesn’t know death. In every universe, every timeline, I am yours . . . and you are mine.”
“Come back to me, wife.” His voice broke on the word. “Please.”
“If by like, you mean I want to tear it to shreds with my teeth, then yes. I like it very much.”
“I go to that cliff, that beach, every single morning because the sea is the green of your eyes, and it’s the closest I get to waking up next to you.”
