Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I wish you could see yourself through my eyes, Queenie. Then you might have some idea as to how incredible you really are.”
“You’re effortlessly stunning, Queenie, inside and out.”
There is no way I’d ask a woman to move in with me after two weeks of dating, at least until Queenie. She’s a tornado, and half the time I don’t know what to do with her, but I still want to get caught up in her vortex. “I’m pretty confident I can handle anything you throw at me.”
I’m falling in love with her chaos.
“Yeah, well, I’ve taken a lot of detours, and I still haven’t stumbled on the right path.” “Are you sure about that? You crossed my path, and it feels pretty right to me.” I tuck her hair behind her ear and skim her cheek as more tears fall.
So instead I treat her exactly as she deserves to be: like she’s my queen.
“Why do you want to be with me?” She hooks her fingers around one of the decorative wrought iron curls behind her head. “Because you’re you. What other reason would there be?”
“Untrue. It’s stunning, just like its creator.”
“You can push me away as much as you want, but it’s not going to stop me from wanting you. I love you because of all these perceived flaws you have, not in spite of them. I know you’ve been let down a lot, and I don’t plan to be one of those people in your life. Give us a chance to get through this together, Queenie. Let me catch you when you fall. Let me be your safe place to land.”
but I want you to know that I’m not going anywhere, Queenie.
I want all your dark secrets to be mine to keep. I want all your pieces, all the things that make you who you are. I don’t care if you think you’re bent or broken; let me love all of you.”
“I know. And Queenie is what’s best for me.
“You don’t have to fight for anything. I’m yours unless you tell me otherwise.” “And I’m yours.”
“I’ve never seen him smile more than he does when you’re at his side. Thank you for being brave enough to come here today to meet all of us despite how uncomfortable it must have been.” “I love King. I’d brave just about anything for him.”
“Yes. It’s a yes. I’ll bring my chaos into your calm.” I place a soft kiss on her lips. “There’s no place I’d rather be than the eye of your storm.”
He’s the calm to my storm. My still lake at dawn. My king.
