Kindle Notes & Highlights
When I press a kiss on her cheek, I swear my stomach flips over. Something about her, about this moment and bringing her to see my brothers tonight, overwhelms me. She’s incredible in every sense of the word. Asher in her everyday life stuns me. But she . . . fits. And I’m not sure what to do about that. Yet.
I’m going to let him go. I’ll enjoy the time we have left. I’ll love him within the confines of my heart alone. This time, I’ll end it on my terms. Because for once in my life, I won’t be taken by surprise when someone I love leaves me. This time, I’ll choose to be on my own again.
So I can watch what I do to her. So I can see the emotion in the depths of her eyes I think we both feel but haven’t spoken. So I can remember her forever, just like this. As mine. There is no greater pleasure for me than her. None.
I love her. How did I never see it before? I’m in love with Asher Wells. The same girl I was in love with fifteen years ago. The question is, what am I going to do about it?
Asher doesn’t need fixing, Ledger. She just needs someone to hold her hand if she fails, to celebrate her when she succeeds, and to listen when she speaks. There’s so much more said in silence than in a room full of people talking.”
And if I ever had any doubt before, I sure as hell don’t now. I love Asher Wells. I’m in love with Asher Wells. Plain. Simple. Completely.
We hold each other’s gazes, and I have a feeling this is going to be one of the most important conversations I’ve ever had in my life.
“I once told you that only one girl has ever broken my heart before. That was you, Asher. And I swear to fucking God, I think you’re breaking it again.” He puts my face in his hands and presses the gentlest of kisses on my lips. “I love you, Asher Wells. I think I always have.”
“Hey, Ledge?” “Yeah?” “Go get your lavender girl. You’ve waited fifteen years. I don’t think you should waste another minute,” Ford says. Or Callahan. I’m not sure which one, but it doesn’t fucking matter. I already have more important things on my mind.
He’s all I want. Ledger. My moonlight boy. I love him. I think I always have. I press a kiss to his lips. “On one condition,” I murmur. He leans back, his eyes dancing with amusement. “What’s that?” “That you’ll love me forever.”
