Kindle Notes & Highlights
we both know which one of us has got the flair for dramatics
Now I know it’s there, quietly beating, hidden away behind a fortress of impenetrable walls built not to shut the world out but to guard the most vulnerable part of him.
Neither of us says anything for seconds that seem to stretch on forever, staring, breathing. Until he reaches out, palm curving around my neck as he hauls me to him, smashing his lips against mine.
Or maybe I say it because I just want her to be here. The revelation of that washes over me in a wave of unexpectedness.
“Why did you come here, Saint?” “I didn’t know where else to go.” It’s a whisper, his voice rough and uneven as he pauses, holding my gaze. “You’re the only thing in my life that feels right anymore.”
Hearing him say that shit about the girl I love was too fucking far.
“Unlike you, I will always put your daughter first. There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do for her. No line I wouldn’t cross. One day, she’s going to find out about all the fucked-up, disgusting shit you’ve done to get ahead, and you know who’s going to be there when she does? Me, motherfucker.”
