Kindle Notes & Highlights
“You made me care. You made me want, when I needed to leave. You made me feel, when I would have preferred to die. You brought me back to life.”
It could be that he’s been waiting for someone strong enough to own him.”
“Yes, but look at the way he protects you.”
“This room. It doesn’t only keep you inside. It keeps everyone else out. They’d have to go through him to get to you.”
“Breathe, baby. Breathe. I’ve got you. I’ve got you for as long as it takes.”
“Sweet Penny.”
“Let me make this very clear. No other woman has been in this bed. You’re the only one here. The only one I’ve ever wanted here.”
“You know the answer to that, baby genius. Because it was the only way I could help you. And you don’t just mean something to me. You mean everything. Understand? Every goddamn thing.”
“Because as long as you’re with me, I’m safe. And as long as I’m with you, you are safe. It’s only when we split up that he’s been able to hurt us. Don’t you see? He wants to divide us. This is how we stop him. This is how we survive. Together.”
I want you. I think you want me too. But I need you to say it. I need you to be with me.”
Even as I turn and walk out the door, I know that I won’t ever stop hoping for him. Won’t ever stop longing for the peace I found in his embrace. I used to think I understood numbers but not people, logic but not emotions. I know better now. We’re really just equations longing for that other half of us. I can walk away from Damon Scott because he wants
me to, but I can’t stop loving him. It’s part of who I am, the logic as simple and undeniably sad as that.
This is you and me. This is the way you love me and the way I love you back.”
