“Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.” ― William Shakespeare, Henry V
But mostly? I just want to be able to look in the mirror and be happy with what I see staring back at me. I want to know what it’s like to feel like I’m enough.
Because every fat person will tell you…no one judges us harder than we judge ourselves.
“Everyone is fake,” he clarifies. “No one is real. We’re all sheep…following each other around in circles…going nowhere.”
“I’ve only met one person who doesn’t pretend to be someone they’re not.” “Who?” Butterflies swarm in my belly when his lips twitch and those intense green eyes zero in on me. “My favorite Bible Thumper.” I’m torn between wanting to smack him and wanting to smile because I’m his favorite anything. “Asshole.”
“How come lies are so beautiful and the truth is always so fucking ugly?”
“What do you want, Colton?” The pure agony that slashes across his face wraps around my heart and squeezes. “Something I can never have…because I’ll destroy it.”
“Me being real.” My breath hitches when he places my hand over his wildly beating heart. “But I should warn you…it’s dark inside.”
“You ended with a positive. You can tell a lot about how someone feels about a person by the way they end a statement, especially when they’re feeling conflicted about them.”
Something tells me he wouldn’t appreciate me informing him that I have every intention of fucking his daughter so good she’s going to start calling me daddy soon.
“Let’s see this mathematical science project,” Daddy declares. “Can’t.” Cole looks at the window like it’s a lifeline. “It’s top secret. If we show it to anyone early, it might alter the clinical results.” “Young man, do I look like I was born yesterday?” “No,” Cole says. “You definitely do not look like you were born yesterday.”
😂😂 ffs
“You think love is perfect? Like one of those fairytales?” He shakes his head. “Hell no. Love is hard…difficult. It’s dealing with someone’s shit day in and day out but never giving up on them because your heart won’t let you. It’s having a million reasons to leave them…but always having one good reason to stay.”
“I’m sorry I ruined the wedding. I’m sorry I push you away when you get too close. I’m sorry I keep fucking things up. I wish I could say I’ll stop, but the truth is I’ll probably fuck up a million more times…but one thing I’ll never do is stop loving you. Ever.” He punches the spot above his heart. “You weren’t supposed to get in here, but you did.” He cups my face. “And now you’re stuck.”
