Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Piper, right now I can only live moment to moment. I don’t mean to sound like a dick, but you can either take it or leave it. Don’t analyze it. I like you. I want to spend time with you. But that’s all I got right now.”
“I don’t know how to love you, Piper,” he says roughly. “But I know I love you a little more every day.”
“I promise to give you as many tomorrows as I possibly can.”
“I love you like there’s no tomorrow. Don’t ever forget that,”
“There’s a myth that if a man and a woman see a ladybug at the same time, they’ll fall in love.” “No… I didn’t know that.” “We just looked at yours at the same time.” “That doesn’t count. It’s a tattoo. It’s not a real ladybug.” “I guess we’ll find out, won’t we?”
“I love you, Ladybug,” he whispers. “This time is forever. I promise.”
“Because I love him. People don’t have to be perfect to be loved. They can be broken and sick and messed up and ugly. Everyone deserves love. And he makes me happy. When we’re together and things are good, I can’t imagine ever being happier than he makes me. I’m sorry if you don’t understand it, or if you’ve never experienced it, but I don’t have to justify our relationship to you, or anyone.”
“You don’t apologize, Piper. Not for any of this. You are strong. You’re the strongest chick I’ve ever met. A weak woman would never be able to love me. You’re a fuckin’ warrior.”
“Want to know a secret?” “Okay….” I say nervously. “I knew I wanted to be with you forever right from the start. That’s why I told you the ladybug myth. I wanted you to want me, too. And when you did, it scared the ever-lovin’ shit out of me.”
I beat the monster.
