Kindle Notes & Highlights
For the record, I NEVER stopped thinking about you. In fact, I had to stop myself from calling you every single day for the last 687 days. You deserved better than my silence. After a thorough self-examination, I’ve diagnosed myself with Acute Chronic Jerkitis. Recommended treatment plan: Extensive groveling, followed by a lifetime of making it up to you.
“Tessa, for nearly two years, I’ve wondered if you were okay. Now I know you weren’t, and nothing else in my life matters until I understand why.” Heat bloomed across my skin. “I can’t focus on anything else. I can’t help any other patient. I can’t even breathe right until I know what’s been happening to you.”
“Listen carefully.” I cradled her face. “Nothing, nothing, could make me think less of you.” When she pressed her forehead to my chest, I kissed her crown, breathing in the scent of her. “Knowing you survived this? It only proves what I’ve always known about your strength. Now. Please. A name.”
“So, don’t you dare think this obsession means I don’t care about you.” He closed the distance between us, eyes blazing. “It means I love you, Tessa. I have always loved you, no matter how hard I fought it. I will always love you.”
“Dr. Morrison said, and I quote, ‘Tessa’s about to show the world what she’s capable of. Make her feel as extraordinary on the outside as she is on the inside. Whatever she wants, the sky’s the limit.’
