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.
“I 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’m sorry. I’m sorry I left you. I should’ve come back for you.
“You broke up with me via a Post-it.” I slam my lips together. “It was a letter.” “Semantics.”
“I’m not going anywhere. Not now. Not ever. It’s us. It’s always been us.” He pulls away, lowering himself down so we’re eye to eye. “I’ll stand by your side until the end. No matter where the road takes us. Now and forever.”
“Pip.” He doesn’t call me that often, but when he does, it no longer makes me sad.
