Kindle Notes & Highlights
I have no idea what that was all about, but I do know that Slate just gave me a gift. A place to feel safe. And that place is him.
“Promise you will never forget me.” His head tilts to the side, his eyes still holding mine captive. The dark ring surrounding his irises moves toward the center, turning the deep blue even darker. Something…more. “I’ll never forget you.” I stick my pinky out. “Pinky promise on your puck.” He links our fingers together with a smirk. “I promise.”
He broke his promise. He left and never thought of me again. He didn’t protect me.
Removing the colors he doesn’t like. His hand reaches in, and we work in silence. Just as we did so many times before.
“Well, you obviously can’t make it a bad thing. Too many people in this world are afflicted by the same struggles. You don’t want to alienate them or make them feel as though they should be ashamed.”
“Cassidy. What the fuck? All this time, I thought this was…that we were a sweet collide. Something big and strong and unbreakable. But this wasn’t a collide. You fucking shattered me.”
“You didn’t even remember me,” I whisper, fresh tears running down my face, forcing me to blink them away. They flow like a river, the salty taste landing on my lips. “You left me. I wasn’t even worth remembering.” “You think I forgot about you?” he sneers. “Yes.” “You think I’m that much of an asshole?” He doesn’t even give me a chance to answer. “You don’t know shit.”
might have not recognized her, but of course, I remembered her. She was the only bit of hope in my life.” I hold Dane’s stare. “I could never forget Pip.”
I slept with Pippa. My Pip. The girl you spent years looking for. The girl you missed with all your heart. Yeah, she lied. But she also gave me hope. Always put me first. Loved me unconditionally. For her to lie, she must have felt she had no choice. Shit.
“I would have helped you, and eventually, when I felt like you were going to be okay, I would have let you go.”
