“Life is messy. You know the only time it’s not? When you’re not living it—when you’re just going through the motions.”
Some of the best things in life are messy
You’re not a woman who needs a man. You’re a woman a man needs. I’m not sure I even recognized the difference years ago. But you make it impossible to forget now.”
“Thank you,” I said. “For what?” “For seeing me the way you do. I know I can be a handful at times.” Hudson looked into my eyes. “You are a handful. But don’t worry.” He winked. “I’ve got two big hands.”
“You’re reading this?” He set the boxes on the coffee table in front of me. “You mentioned you liked it the other day. I usually read a lot while I travel.”
“I think a lot of the reason I’ve struggled to be happy over the last year or two has been that my life turned out a lot different than I’d envisioned it. I needed to let go of what I thought my life was supposed to look like in order to write a new story.”
I think forgiveness is more about not letting it destroy your heart anymore.”
“I’m so glad you waited me out.” “I knew you’d be worth waiting for.”
It was a stark reminder not to judge others unless I’d walked in their shoes.
“I don’t think any of the things that happened are coincidence. I think life is a series of stepping stones that branch out in all different directions. We have no idea what path we’re supposed to follow, so we tend to walk a straight line and follow the biggest stones, because that’s the easiest thing to do. Coincidences are the smaller stones that lead you on a path that veers off. If you’re brave enough, you follow those stones, and you wind up exactly where you’re supposed to be.”
“None of this is a coincidence, sweetheart. It’s the universe conspiring for us to be together. It has been from the very start—before we even met.”
“You know, I think we should probably give in. We don’t stand a chance if the whole world is conspiring.” “Sweetheart, I didn’t stand a chance from the moment I looked at you.”
You can run from lies, but the truth always catches up to you.”
“Stella Rose Bardot, let me give you your happily ever after. Be my wife, and I promise to try my hardest to make your life better than anything you’ve ever read in a book.”
