Kindle Notes & Highlights
“You’re so busy honoring her memory and protecting the image of her you have in your mind that you don’t realize how badly you’re treating me. You lost your first wife through no fault of your own, but you will be losing me because you can’t let go of her.”
There isn’t enough room in our bedroom for me and the memories of your past. If you ever decide you want to give this marriage a chance, then you can come to me and apologize for what you said. Until then, I’m done with us.”
“You know what’s strange?” I whispered thickly. “At one point, I thought I could never love someone as I loved Antonio, no matter how unrequited that love was. And today I’m condemning him to his death for another man who will never love me back.”
“You did what you had to do to protect me.” His fingers stroked my chin. “I won’t ever forget it. Never.”
“Make love to me. Just today. I know you don’t love me. Pretend, just for tonight. Hold me in your arms for once.”
“I don’t give a fuck about the seat, or the car, or anything right now. You are all that matters.”
