When the Stars Fall (Lost Stars, #1)

by Emery Rose

“What happens when the stars fall, Jude?” “I’ll put them back in the sky for you.”

Before my mom died, she told me to be brave with my heart. She said that love makes you vulnerable, but with the right person, it also makes you stronger. I didn’t really understand it at the time, but I think I get what she was saying now.

“Put the stars back in the sky, Jude. It’s so dark and lonely without them.”

All I want is for you to be happy. And the only way I know how to do that is to set you free. The stars are still in the sky, baby. Just open your eyes and look up. On the darkest nights, they shine the brightest. And one day soon you’ll see that you never really needed me to put them back in the sky for you. You’re strong and brave and fierce. You’re a goddamn warrior, Rebel. The real hero in our story.

“You owe me an entire galaxy. I’m still waiting for you to put the stars back in the sky.”

“Everything I do has a purpose. You are my purpose.”

“Thank you,” I said, turning in his arms and framing his face in my hands. “For what?” “For putting the stars back in the sky.”
