Kindle Notes & Highlights
Fairy tales helped me believe that not every man was like my daddy. Fairy tales helped me disappear into worlds where princes were loyal and honest and where princesses were strong and brave.
“Yes. Fairy tales, adventures. Someday I’m going to go on the grandest adventure of all—I’m going to live in Paris, have a French boyfriend who writes me the most beautiful love letters ever, and I’m going to eat French chocolate all day long.”
“Sure, Princess Jessie. Read to me.”
“Yeah. You made me feel like a hero.” “You are,” I breathed. “To me, you are.”
“No one makes me feel like you, Princess Jessie. No one ever will.”
She saw her father in me, a womanizer, a man who didn’t have the capability or desire to be faithful to one woman.
That is what faith is. Knowing that though I do not have all the answers, God does, and he stands only for good.”
We had one chance, one life, and then it was gone. Live fiercely and without regret.
“You…I don’t even know what to say about you. You’re stunning. You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.”
“Madame Leclaire said sometimes the beginning of love is just a simple matter of proximity.”
“‘Yes, my child, you did,’ replied God. ‘And I sent you two boats and a rescue helicopter. But you sent them away.’”
I believe that if there is a God, he helps those who help themselves.”
“I was waiting for you. Only for you, Jessie.”
I am not afraid. I was born to do this. —Joan of Arc
Dear Jessie, I’m sorry and I love you. Callen
“But I’d still like to explain myself to you in my own words. I want to undo the hurt I caused you. I want to earn your forgiveness.”
“I love you, Jessie. Only you. I’ve loved you for a long, long time, forever I think. I want to make a life with you and our baby. I want to write you love letters with my music. I want to feed you French chocolate.”
