Kindle Notes & Highlights
I step closer until I can hear his voice and allow it to run through me. I don’t even listen to the words, just close my eyes and lean my head against the wall, his mere presence calming me like nothing else can.
“We don’t have problems,” she whispers. My chest constricts. “You’re not mine, Kens,” I gently tell her, pain I didn’t mean to show clear as day. “And that’s a problem for me.”
She belongs under the sun with flip-flops and a smile. She belongs here. With me.
Every single time, she smiles even though he can’t see it. But he knows because, after she does, he smirks to himself. They are completely and utterly entwined.
“Parker …” She shakes her head, rubbing at her palms as the facade falls. “I can’t. I’m scared.” “Exactly,” I say, and her eyes swing back to mine. “I know you’re afraid, and that’s okay. You had a bad experience last time, and it left a little scar. You said you could never do it again. Well, I wanna show you that, yes, you can. We’re gonna take the bad and replace it. I wanna erase the bad with a good.”
She is, without a doubt, everything I could ever want. Kind and gentle but spunky with a splash of sass. She smiles with her heart and hurts with all she is. She’s more than I ever knew a person could be. She’s the light I’ve never known but now crave.
I wish I could erase her fears and soak up all her pain. I’d drown in hurt if it meant she felt none.
“I love her more than I knew a person could love someone. She might come off as bitchy and spoiled, but that’s not who she is. That’s her defense. She’s kind and warm and the best fucking person I have ever met.
