Changing Lanes (Creekwood, #2)

by A. Marie

“I like her unrestrained, man. You don’t tame girls like her, you embrace the beauty in their wild and adapt.” His gaze meets mine pointedly. “Or get eaten alive.”

“I have nobody. I’m constantly surrounded by people, yet it feels like I’m the loneliest person in the world.”

“I didn’t mean it like that. I just, I don’t want you to leave yet. Every time you walk away it feels like you won’t come back. I, um, I hate that feeling.”

Once you’re taken, like for real taken, it’s fucking end game. Basically, thou shall not commit fuckery. Ever.

“The one that makes you want to be better. Even if you have to reveal the worst version of yourself just so you have a shot at being the best version. For her.”

How long until someone would even notice? Until they realize it was struggling to continue on this whole time? That it tried its best to glow bright for everybody else until it just couldn’t anymore?

“The cure for pain is in the pain.”
