Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I know, it’s just…I think when you’ve been through possibly the worst thing that will ever happen to you, it changes you a little. I feel for other people, like really feel for them, I can empathize, but that incident kind of made me, I don’t know, tougher…harder to hurt? Less quick to bruise.”
“What if this moment, right here, is the moment that changes your life?”
“She’s a six at most, why are you wasting time with a six?” “Add five to that.” “What?” “She’s my eleven.”
“You know you gave me…,” I breathe through the pain, “you gave me a love story, a real love story, even if it doesn’t have the ending I was hoping for.”
Dreams change, they evolve, because of the people in your life.
It’s love, the kind that changes people, pure and simple, because she changed me by just believing me, in me, to the point she possessed a part of me. Maybe I can’t move on because I’m not supposed to. Or maybe I’m too late. Either way, I have to know.
He told him that as stormy and horrible as this time would be, there’s always going to be that time after, that promise of a flipside, a rainbow moment that will make the trials worth it.”
She’s light, and you can’t hide light, you can’t hold it and keep it. It’s unattainable. And maybe that’s what Harper is for me—a light I can’t keep.
“I just think it’s wrong to look for the flaws,” I mumble into his shoulder. “You look at anyone long enough, you’ll find them.”
“I think what mattered to me most about coming here is that I never got a chance to say I love you. And I do, I love you, Harper.”
I’m a woman in love with a man I can’t and refuse to live without.
When I getting old and grey, I want the right person with me.
“So, you aren’t leaving?” “I’m tired of running from the things I’m afraid of. Doesn’t make it any less hard to deal.”
“You see, my love, it’s a cruel world without you in it.”
But the hardest part of a fight is staying when it’s over, no matter the outcome. The sweep up of the aftermath, and then finding the will to fight again. He is my will, and I am his.
“She told me, ‘Harper, you aren’t going to get everywhere at once. You need to stop living for the what ifs and start living in the what is, one breath, one step at a time.’
I’m not nervous, just ready. Ready to give this woman my last name, though our life together started years ago.
