Torn (All Torn Up #1)

All she wanted was for me to chase her and hug her. It’s what she does. And I melt every time.

“I wished you would never doubt me again. I’ve spent almost eighteen years being here for you, Angel. Because I want to. No one ever made me or expected me to. You’re just where I always wanted to be.”

Shit. Wrong answer, little girl. Wrong. Fucking. Answer.

“Did you forget?” I ask playfully, leaning a little closer to him, his hand on my neck pulling me forward, gently coaxing me even closer. “You’re the man I’m going to marry someday.”

“She’s adorable,” the blond girl says. “Is she yours?” Standing, I take Kenzi’s hand. “Yeah, she is.”

All that matters is you are my forever. You always have been. You always will be.”
