Kindle Notes & Highlights
For those who feel hopeless, you are unbreakable.
“And if I forget you…just know I will always love you. This disease might take my body, mija, but it will not take my spirit. And my spirit will always be with you.”
“No lo puedo hacer. No puedo vivir sin ti. Eres mi mundo. Estoy perdida sin ti.”
She’s taught me everything I know—my guide who has always taught me to choose a path of morals and faith. She’s shown me unconditional love.
I like my team. My job. My career. It’s all I’ve done for the past nineteen years, and I’m proud of my accomplishments. Still, the scars I hold forever took pieces of me. The worst scars are the ones you can’t see—the ones imprinted in your soul and the ones you take to your grave.
“There will be consequences if another man holds you like that again.”
“If you fucking breathe the same air as Violet, look at her…if you even think about her again, I’ll carve your eyes out of your skull,”
Violet Isla has caught my attention. And when a woman catches my attention, I have to have her.
“I’m a model soldier, a gentleman, but the way I lose all control when it comes to you is the bane of my existence.”
“You better start wearing panties or I’ll fuck that bratty little smile off your lips right now.” Oh, um…yes, please.
“No one’s ever tasted this fucking good. I want to come in my pants just from eating your pussy.”
“I’m a man who’s going to use all your holes and make you forget about the one who put that meaningless ring on your finger.”
“You belong to me until I say this is over. You won’t scream anyone else’s name. If another man touches you, I’ll kill him. I don’t share what’s mine. I don’t give a fuck if that makes me crazy. I’m greedy. You need to know what happens when you give yourself over to a heartless, cruel, starving man.”
“And you are my salvation—my anchor in an ocean I’ve been drowning in.”
“Baby, you and I will never be out of time. What we have together is infinite. Even when we’re nothing but phantoms with beatless hearts, we will always be perfectly intertwined because you were made for me.”
Holding her while her heart is still beating is a small detail I will miss. Her staple scent of perfume welcomes and reminds me of my childhood. As I hold her, all the good times of being a worry-free child return—everything that made me who I am today sears into me, and my mind drifts.
