Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I’m not fucking telling her,” he insists. “She’ll tear my balls off. At least she has a vested interest in you keeping yours.” “Sorry, dude.” I shrug. “You lost.”
What can I say, his jealousy makes me feel all sorts of sappy, girly feelings.
“The reasons behind your actions are what matter. Yours came from a place of pain; mine were for survival. We do what we must, to scratch out some sort of existence for ourselves and hope we can live with the consequences of our decisions.
I’m the big bad wolf.
“You are the sunlight on a dark day, the rainbow when it pours, the lighthouse in a storm. You’re my sunlight. My rainbow. My lighthouse. I was barely alive when I turned up here, but you helped me learn to breathe. You made me see there’s more to life than just surviving. I need you in my life, making me laugh and reminding me of the good times when things go wrong. So please, please don’t let all this self-hatred and guilt you’re carrying around swallow you up, because I don’t know what any of us would do without you.”
Well, fuck me. Give this man a standing ovation, because that was one hell of a declaration.
“I love you,” I pant, loving how his eyes soften and a boyish grin graces his lips. “I love you, baby. You're mine, and I'm yours. That’s the way it's always going to be.”
