Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I made this for you. It’s an apology drawing. Sorry if I called you a giant, and it hurt your feelings. But I still think you’re a giant and you have magic. But that’s cool. You should be proud of that. Cae Cae always tells me that it’s the things that are different about us that are the most special.”
I’d tried hard to instill the belief in my siblings that no feeling was bad or wrong. And neither was expressing those feelings, as long as you weren’t hurting someone else.
“That’s your rainbow. So you’re a part of our family, and you never have to leave.”
It was Ava’s gaze that met mine in the rearview mirror. “It looks like you belong with us.”
Mia snuggled into my chest. “I’m sorry you lost your family. But you’re in our family now. That’s what the rainbow bracelet means.”
“You showed me how much I was missing by locking myself away from the world. You showed me that I could trust you with anything. But you’ve been showing me that from the first day I met you. In your kindness. Your care. How damn selfless you are. Everything I see in you challenges me to do better. Be better. To not run away from life because I was hurt in the past. I want this with you. I don’t know for sure where it will lead. But I want to find out.”
“Love is the most terrifying jump you’ll ever make. But I promise you, it’s worth it.”
“A mom isn’t just someone who shares your blood. They’re supposed to look out for you, take care of you, love you. She never seemed to be able to figure that out. Caelyn is more of a mom than Chrissy will ever be.” He paused, letting the tool come to rest by his side. “Would ever be. Not like she’s going to get a chance to make things right now.”
“Never be ashamed of feeling deeply. It doesn’t make you weak. It makes you so incredibly strong.”
“I love you. I think a part of me loved you from the first moment I saw you. Some part of me recognized that you were the one person who could understand me. Who could help me find my way back.”
“You have no idea the joy you give me. You made this wrecked palace a home.”
