The Amendment (The Arrangement, #2)

by Kiersten Modglin

Normal doesn’t exist and it never has. There are just these periods where things feel safe and calm, and then, long before we’re ready, everything’s torn apart and we call it change. We look back at our lives and wonder when it all changed, but the truth is…the better question is, when didn’t it? Because we’re always changing. Life is always changing. It’s the rarer moments where things are still.

“I think sometimes people show us who they are, and we have to choose whether or not we’re going to believe them. There’s personality, Annie, and there’s human nature. Some things can be changed. Some people can change. But some things, some things are so deep down at the core of who we are, no matter what the people around us do, nothing will change us. If Pete has shown you who he is, you have to decide if you can live with it. If he’s unwilling to change, you have to decide if you’re going to change. Because if you’re both unhappy, one of you has to.”
