Kindle Notes & Highlights
I had one kid, and the experience was so traumatic that I didn’t want to have another.
“A real man could never do enough for his woman… don’t forget that, Alaia.”
“You went your whole life never having someone to protect you. I’m not letting you go another fucking second never knowing what feeling protected feels like. I’m not letting you bring her into this world not knowing what being protected feels like… alright?”
“Even the good things have a struggle at first… that’s how you really know it’s good.”
I want you forever, and I’m taking responsibility for healing the heart that I had nothing to do with breaking.”
“I want to name her Promise.” He looked at me to see how I felt about it. “Because I promise to love that little girl with everything inside of me. I promise to never let her or her mother down, and I promise that nobody will ever hurt either of you even after the breath has left my body.”
If a woman was in need, it was in my DNA to help her out and not expect anything in return. Only weak men wanted something in return for their help.
