“You’re right here in my goddamn heart, baby.” I give in, dragging him against me so that I can tuck his head into the crook of my neck and brush my mouth against his ear. “This is where you are. No matter whether you piss me off, or leave me ready to toss you over my shoulder, or be so goddamn in love with you I don’t know how to breathe. That’s who you are. You’re better than this, and I believe that you’ll figure out you’re worthy of being loved by someone one day. Trust that I’m gonna be out there hoping like hell you might want that guy to be me.”
