Kindle Notes & Highlights
“A man does not drink from a toilet when he has fine wine at home,”
“I’m fine.” There it is again. Nobody is ever actually fine.
I’m discovering something about myself in this moment. I’ll do anything for a compliment. I want praise. I want it badly. And I especially want it from this man, who doesn’t like anyone or anything.
That’s the way I like it. When I’m with Dean I don’t have to think, or plan, or worry.
Yet Snow and Sasha’s children choose to emulate them willingly. Because they look at their parents and they see a life worth imitating.
He might only be attached to me because he has no one else.
I don’t know how to discern between passion and love.
“If he hurt you, then he doesn’t love you,”
“When someone loves you, they’ll do anything to keep you safe.”
“It’s called intimacy, Dean. You let someone in your life, and they’re in your life. She’s not a doll you can put on a shelf until you want to play with her again. She’s gonna have her own ideas of how to do things.”
“You want connection, don’t you? Stop pushing away the people who will give it to you.”
“No relationship is built without mistakes,”
God she looks sexy when she’s angry.
If his anger is a furnace, then his love for me is the sun, burning bright enough to light the universe.
“Why can’t you see that I love you? I fucking love you! I don’t care what you do to me, I don’t care what you say to me. I don’t care if you lie or scream or try to run away. I don’t care if you’re filthy or soaked in bleach or set on fucking fire! Why can’t you understand I love you! Without limit or reason.”
“You don’t know what a monster I can be, but I’ll be your monster. Everything I do will be for you. To protect you. To help you. To love you every day of my life. I’ll burn this whole fucking world down for you if that’s what you want.”
I always thought Dean was a bully. But in actuality . . . he’s got a soft spot for the underdog.
