“Because sometimes people don’t know how to ask for what they really need. You needed a hug.”

It was better than winning the fucking lottery, that feeling that lit up my chest. The knowledge that she trusted me to take care of her. “You sure?” I pressed.

“I believe that’s the last time you get to tell me what to do and call me Daisy.”

“You didn’t have to do it this way. Out in public so I wouldn’t make some kind of scene. I’m a big girl, Knox.

yass miss girl
“I warned her. I told her not to get attached. She knew there was no chance. It’s not my fault she’s this romantic who thought I could change. I can’t change. I don’t want to change. And why the fuck am I even having this conversation with you? I didn’t do anything wrong. I told her not to fall.”
“I’m forty-fucking-three years old, Lou. I don’t need a father-son moment.”
Cuando al principio mencionan que Knox se ganó 11 millones de dolares en la loteria i was like damn se resolvió la vida a los 20 y luego caigo en cuenta que esto es adult romance y el man mamado tatuado precioso tiene casi 50 años
“What’s anyone’s problem? Baggage. People meet, sparks fly, then they spend all their time trying to hide who they really are so they can stay attractive. Then we’re surprised when it doesn’t work out.”
“I want daisies in your hair.”
