Torn (All Torn Up #1)

by Carian Cole

“Just be yourself. That’s all any of us should be.” I hate when women try to change to be what they think a guy wants. Eventually, they slip and the real them will come crashing through, and it’s usually not as good as the person they were pretending to be.

“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.”

She could have been mine, if I hadn’t introduced my best friend to the girl I was crazy about but too shy to ask out.

“Who am I?” “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.”

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