Kindle Notes & Highlights
I stood there and watched him, because his back was as nice as his front.
We lay side by side and watched a girl fall in love. One of us already had, and the other knew she never would.
She was supposed to be wallpaper, but I couldn’t stop my gaze from finding her whenever she was in the room.
“I’m not leaving until you tell me what happened.” Her teeth tugged at her bottom lip, and she averted her gaze. “I don’t want you to make it a big deal.” “Won’t.” Depends. “Promise you won’t do anything.” “Promise.” Lie.
“Who said I’m thinking about marriage?” He halted, his dark gaze practically assaulting me. Wrong thing to say. “I swear to God, Elena, if I find out you’ve let some man touch you, I will deliver his hands to you in a box.” I swallowed. “And I do not. Fucking. Bluff.” He slammed the door behind him.
“And why would it be such a bad idea?” I didn’t look at her, but I felt her sad smile. “Because you’ll fall in love with her,” she said. “And she won’t love you back.”
“I said I’ll never hurt you, Elena, but if I find out you’ve touched another man, there is nothing in this world that could save him.”
I had a bad, bad feeling that if this girl used the word please, I would give her anything she wanted.
“You make me fucking crazy.” “Don’t blame me for your psychosis.” “You are my psychosis.”
“No. I think I’ll keep you.”
Nico might have been a bad man, but where he lacked in morals, he more than made up for as a husband. He loved me forever.
