Kindle Notes & Highlights
I feel like the man, who was once my faithful guardian and protector, is now transforming into my dark demon.
Shay used to soothe my fears. Now… he is the root of them.
For years I’d been trying to help him fight his demons, but now? He’s forcing me to dance with them instead.
He was no longer my protector. He was my tormentor.
“Emily and I fell in love hard and fast. And I wanted to keep her. When I met you, you were such a sweet, shining ball of light. I wanted to be a good daddy to you. I wanted our two broken families to join together and just… fucking live.”
“And then one day, it all fucking changed. One day, I saw you standing in the golden light like a fucking angel meant just for me. I was horrified with myself because you were so young, still. What the hell was wrong with me? I was disgusted when I got home. I tried to ignore it, telling myself that you still needed me, and so I kept meeting with you at that shitty old theatre.”
“I didn’t mean to fall in love with you. I knew it was wrong, that it made me a sick person. And I fought every urge I had to want to hold you and kiss you. But that day on the beach, when I saw you standing in the sand, the wind whipping your hair around, your pink cheeks, and your bright green eyes… I fucking fell apart.”
Sometimes even good people make mistakes and regret them.
