Kindle Notes & Highlights
“People can still hurt you even if you expect nothing from them.”
“You’re playing with fire, Quinn.” I whisper as I gently press her against the door. “An angel like you has no business tempting a devil like me. I will ruin you and not feel bad about it.” “The devil was an angel too.”
“We don’t always have to let our walls down completely. Sometimes all we need is a little light to shine through the cracks to make a difference.”
In these moments, everything else fades away. All I see is her. All I feel is her. When I fall into the softness of her my soul and sorrows are wrapped in peace.
I’d like to blame him for my recklessness with my heart, but I wanted to feel what it was like to let go and just… fall.
“I think we take everything for granted until we’ve lost it or are at risk of losing it. It’s the risk that makes us appreciate things.”
Quinn is like a warm stack of blueberry pancakes doused in syrup. My comfort and delight.
But somehow, she gets me. I don’t know how that’s possible when I don’t even understand myself.
“Thank you.” “For what?” he asks, confused. “Letting me in and allowing me to know all of you. Even the parts that you think are too dark for me to see.”
“I know my life is crazy… but you’ve been my refuge–my peace. All I know for certain right now is that I want you. All of you. And if you don’t want to deal with all the shit I’ve got going on, I understand that too. But I–” “Shut up.” She says and her lips crash into mine.
“I’m sorry to leave you again, but know that I’ve loved every single minute with you and that I love you. I’ve always loved you and will love you… even when I’m gone.”
Two people can be at the same place at the same time and have two entirely different experiences.
“Sometimes the only way to the light is through the darkness. But there will be little beacons of light along the way that will help see you through. There is a duality of dark and light. Remember, we can’t shine without the dark.”
