Kindle Notes & Highlights
Seven years I’d waited for this chance. Seven goddamn years and I couldn’t risk fucking it up.
You. “I wanted to see you.
“Because I don’t want to see you, Foster. I don’t want you in my town.” “Too late.”
He didn’t realize I knew his sister? Yeah, I knew his sister. She was the love of my goddamn life.
“I hate you for choosing Vivienne.” Another punch. “I hate you for not loving me the way I loved you.” Then another punch. “I hate you for being so fucking hard to forget.”
“Why is it tattooed on your body?” “As a reminder.” “Of what?” He gave me a sad smile. “Of what I lost.” The tears came back. “Your dreams were my dreams, Tally. I lost them when I lost you.”
“Say my name,” he growled against my skin as he kissed down my belly to the hem of my pants. “Foster,” I breathed. “Good girl.”
Unless Talia would have me. Then I’d be hers until the end of my days.
A guy who was lucky to have twenty bucks in his pocket and knew he’d never be able to give you the world.” She pulled her knees into her chest. “I never needed the world.” “But I wanted to give it to you anyway.”
“I needed you. Not money.” “Took me losing you to figure that out.”
“I have never stopped loving you.” “Foster—” “And I never will.”
“Talia.” “Don’t let go.” Her arms cinched tighter. “Never,” I whispered,
“I waited a long time for you, love. I’ll wait as long as you need. You are mine.”
“Foster.” I clutched the bedding at my sides, my legs spreading even wider. “You’re mine, love. Say it.” “I’m yours.” “That’s my good girl.”
“I love you.” He rocked against my core. “Fuck, but I love you.”
“You and me. It’s always been you and me.”
“And what do you need?” I tilted my head back, meeting his eyes. “You.” All I’d ever needed was him.
“I need you there. I need to see your smile when it’s over, win or lose. But mostly, if this is the end, the last fight, then I want to win it for you.” “You’ll win.” “Even if I don’t, I won the fight that matters.” “Your title fight?” He shook his head. “You. You are the biggest fight of my life.”
“Will you break my heart again?” “Never.” I’d die first. “Will you leave me?” “Never.” Not willingly. Not until the end. “Will you stop loving me?” “Never.” My love for her had no end. I’d love her in this world and the next. “Never, Tally. Never.”
Tears welled in her eyes. “I love you. Only you. Always you.” Victory. This fight was over. “I love you, Talia Eden.”
