When Nothing Else Matters (Heartstrings, #1)

by Katherine Jay

“And you’re by far the most special someone I know,” I whisper, only turning back when I hear Summer’s car pulling out of the drive.

You seem to mistakenly think it’s a hardship to care for you. Trust me, it’s not.”

Maybe I was wrong to want more from her because I will happily stay in this limbo state of being, until the end of my days, if I can continue to get smiles like that.

I shake my head and laugh because at that moment, I know I’m going to make this girl mine.

“I’ve got you. I’ll always have you,”

“I want this. I want you. I want us. I don’t think I’ve ever wanted anything more.”

“Summer, I need you to tell me we’re going to be okay. I need to hear the words because I’m so in love with you that I can’t bear to stay in any kind of limbo.”

This is it. She is it for me. I’m going to marry this girl. Breaking our stare, I lower my lips to hers and make love to the girl I adore more than anything else in the world.

He’s lucky I trust him with my life, and yes, I mean Summer—she’s my life.
