Kindle Notes & Highlights
do miss being in someone’s arms. I just want a good guy for once. Is that too much to ask for? Someone who looks at a dandelion and sees a wish, not a weed.” Lunden

He backtracked, captured her hand, and scribbled I love you into her palm—just as he’d done so many times when they were young—but not the words, the numbers, 1-4-3, just as she had done.

We fall in love by chance. We stay in love by choice. I choose you to love, Lunden. I choose you,” he repeated.
