Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Fuckin’ Gallo chicks. Total pains in the asses, full of trouble, and crazy, stupid beautiful. Deadly combo,”
Entitled? Completely. A pain in the ass? One hundred percent. Worth it? Totally.
For all their insanity, there’s nothing but love around this table. Unconditional love in every form and so much goodness, it’s hard not to want to hold on to a little of the craziness.
Tamara isn’t one who’s hard to peg. The moment I laid eyes on her and she opened her mouth, I knew she had no discipline. Maybe when she was little, but as an adult, she’s making up for being caged.
The man has a way of doing that. Making me stupid. Making me forget I’m the badass chick who takes no shit from anyone and gives people hell. He makes me someone else. He makes me want things I never wanted to want before. Damn it.
“If someone would’ve told me two weeks ago I’d be crazy in love with a chick, I would’ve told them they were fucked in the head.” I swallow, suddenly breathless. “You’re in love with me?” The words almost stick in my throat. He nods and splays his hand against my back, making me feel tiny in comparison. “It’s illogical, but nothing feels more right than being here with you. I’m sure people will think we’re crazy, but sometimes, the heart, body, and soul know when they find their other half.”
“Good,” she adds, smiling her beautiful smile. “I feel like I’ve known you forever, or at least, I don’t want to remember a time you weren’t in my life.”
“Then we need honesty and
transparency in all things.”
Fuck. I don’t know what I did to be such a lucky son of a bitch, but whatever it was, I hope I did enough to earn this woman forever.
“I love you,” she whispers back. “And I never thought I’d say that to anyone until I met you.” I know then I’m home. My life of wandering no longer appealed to me. I want roots. I want a place to call home. I want family. I want Tamara Gallo forever.
I want you to know we think of you as family. You’re ours now. One of us. You need anything, you call. You need help, you holler.” She opens her arms, steps forward, and wraps herself around my body. “We’re your family now.” If I were a guy who cried, I’d be in tears. Never have I felt such love and acceptance than I do in this moment.
