Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Y-you’re an ass man, I guess,” she stammered. He shook his head. “No, Piper. I’m a this-ass man.”
God must have been busy answering someone else’s prayers.
“You talk about being with me like it’s a battle.” “It is, in a way. But I’m grateful I’m the one fighting it.” He could feel her studying his profile. “You’re worth fighting for, too.
“Stop what, Piper? Thinking about you every second of the day? Missing you so much I climb the fucking walls? Stop being hungry for you? I can’t turn any of that off and I don’t want to.”
“I think because I trust you. I completely trust you. That’s a huge part of love, isn’t it?”
“You just need to think about what you actually want. Maybe you can’t do that when I’m constantly in your face.”
He’d given Piper time to think, and she’d realized that being with him required too much sacrifice, and she’d made her decision. He’d known it was too good to be real. That she would give up everything, her whole life, just for him. His jugular ached from supporting his heart. That’s where it sat now, every minute of the day; having Piper in his life had been so painfully sweet. So much better than he knew life could be. It just hadn’t gone both ways.
“I’ll love you until my heart gives out. I’ll be your man for a thousand years. Longer if I’m allowed.”
