Kindle Notes & Highlights
Walking down the narrow street, people unconsciously step out of my way. It’s as if their sixth sense tells them to move; danger’s approaching.
Tonight was the first time a little light shone into my life… all because of Hailey.
In no universe can the moon and sun be together. They’re forever destined to be lightyears apart, with empty darkness filling the space between them.
For a moment in time, the sun shone on me. It was peaceful, the brilliance of the rays warming the frozen landscape of my life. When my time comes, she’ll be my last thought. Until then, I have to forget she ever existed.
Alexei shakes his head at me again. “Why this girl?” Staring into his dark gaze, I only see worry where the rest of humanity would see death. “She makes me feel alive. I’ve never experienced anything like the emotions I have when I’m around her.”
It will kill me. I can’t live without Hailey. I can’t go back to the absolute darkness. I need whatever light she has left.
“The code is easy to remember. Nine for I. Twelve for L. Eight for H, and twenty-three for W. I love Hailey Welsh.”
“I love you,” he whispers near my ear. “More than anything. I’ll never harm you, and I’ll kill anyone who tries to hurt you.”
The corner of my mouth lifts, and I place my hand on her cheek. “As long as I get to see you smile every day, we can take it slow.” Hailey’s face lights up with happiness, and I just stare at her as her light chases the darkness. The moon only shines at night because of the sun. Hailey’s my sun.
The main guy groans as he begins to climb to his feet. Letting out a squeal as if I’m about to step on a bug, I dart forward and kick him in the crotch. “Please stay down, you idiot.” When I look up, Carson’s looking at me with an incredulous expression on his face, then he says, “That was fucking cute.”
“You’re mine,” I growl. “You’ll never leave again.” “I won’t,” she whimpers. “Please.” I press my forehead to hers. “Come, baby.” My teeth tug at her lips. “Come for me.”
“To the sun who fell in love with the moon and gave him some of her light. Without her, there’s only darkness.”
