Kindle Notes & Highlights
“You deserve to be with someone whole, Ella Mae. And I’m about as broken as they come. Far too many pieces for me to ask you to try and help put me back together.”
“And I didn’t think you could ever forgive me once you learned the truth. I have a lot of blood on my hands. And I’m still . . . broken.”
“The kiss after we say our I do won’t be fake. And I’ll be damned if the one thing Brian’s had that I haven’t happens for the first time in front of an audience.”
“Now, excuse me while I go get punched by three of your brothers after I ask your father for your hand in marriage.”
“I’ve always known you were the one, Ella Mae. There’s never been anyone but you,” he said slowly. “You were with me in Iraq even though you didn’t know it. I had your picture with me. Always. Yours was the first face I looked at when I woke and the last face I saw before going to sleep.”
“My heart has been with you whether I was overseas or at home,” Jesse went on, his voice full of emotion. “It’s always been with you. I’ve always loved you, and I always will. No matter what.”
“I, Jesse Edward McAdams, promise to protect and love you until death do us part.”
“You’ve always had my heart. I gave it to you long ago. And no matter what, you’ll have it until the day I die.”
“How I feel about you, and how I have always felt about you is more real than my own existence,” he rasped while erasing the last bit of space between them, and without hesitation, he cupped the back of her head. He looked deep into her eyes and added in a hoarse voice, “It’s so real that in three years, I haven’t so much as touched another woman.”
“You don’t always need to forgive someone in order to move on, you just need to forgive yourself for whatever feelings or behaviors they may have inspired.”
