Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I guess I prefer to be in the background and not the center of attention. Less seen and more heard.” I know all about fading into the background of life.
Not a soul would ever know I came here on my own, allowed him to put his hands and his mouth on my body and conjure desire out of me.
The thing about being crazy is that it can slowly become normal before you even realize it.
“I don’t know how to love you, Piper,” he says roughly. “But I know I love you a little more every day.”
“Love doesn’t have rules, Blue. The way you love me is perfect. And I love you. That’s all that matters.”
“Tell me what you want, Piper.” “Just you,” I reply, pulling him closer. “Any way I can have you.”
“I promise to give you as many tomorrows as I possibly can.” “You promise?” I need to hear him say it again because I want all the tomorrows forever.
I’m convinced I can be the peace he’s missing, just as he is mine.
“I love you like there’s no tomorrow. Don’t ever forget that,” he says with his chin against my shoulder.
For Piper, keeper of my heart, you’ll always be my ladybug. Don’t give up baby, I took a walk, but I didn’t run away.
“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?”
“There are other girls out there?” he teases. “Nope. None.” “You’re the only one in my world, babe, and I’m gonna try like hell to make you want to stay in it.”
People don’t have to be perfect to be loved. They can be broken and sick and messed up and ugly. Everyone deserves love.
