“Okay. Be safe. And Gray?” Sonny looks from his phone to me. “Yeah?” “Don’t let anything touch her,” he practically growls. He holds my gaze and says, “With my life.”

“I think falling in love at the end of the world would be tragic. Reckless, even.”

“What if this is it? If this is when it ends?” Sonny smooths his thumb between my bunched brows. “Then I’ll find you in the next life.” “And in the one after that,” West vows. “In every life,” Cole promises.

“You’re the closest thing I’ve ever experienced to love at first sight, Gray Walters. And it would have been an absolute pleasure to love you.” “Loving you would be the greatest honor of my life, Amelia.”
