Kindle Notes & Highlights
She’s gone. The realization hits me like a ton of bricks. I won’t be able to hold her tonight or any other night. I won’t be able to run my fingers through her silky hair or watch her hazel eyes light up when I speak. I won’t be able to feel her smooth skin or smell her flowery shampoo. I lost her. And even though I know I will keep her safe from a distance, I feel like someone died. I feel like I lost the best parts of me forever.
Something cold and wet slides down my cheek. Am I crying? Fear and concern etch deep into the contours of Quinton’s face. He cups me by the cheeks and draws my face to his using both hands. Nose to nose, chest to chest. I can feel his hammering heartbeat and see the passion and care for me in his eyes. He’ll never let anything happen to me again, he promised.
