Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Does anything hurt right now?” “No, Kacey.” Jonah stroked my hair, held me tighter. “Right now, nothing hurts.”
“And I know you want to leave a beautiful piece of art in your wake. Your focus is solely on the destination, not the journey.” Dena placed her palm on my cheek. “Shouldn’t you also try to do the most important thing along the way?” I covered her hand with mine. “What’s that?” “Be happy.”
“You’re the first woman…the first person to touch my scar.”
“You make me feel so good, Jonah,” I whispered. “Better than good. Like I can start all over again.” “Kacey.” He held my face in his hands, his dark eyes intent on me. “You make me feel alive.”
“This is what I want. You and me, in a place like this. Outside of time. Going for a walk along the beach, eating or swimming or making love when we feel like it.” I heard his breath catch and his next words were gruff. “This is living, Kace. This is exactly what I wanted but I didn’t know who to ask.” I felt tears sting my eyes, and I let out a breathy little laugh. “It was me.” “It was you.” He held my face in his hands, brushed his lips over mine. “Always and only you.”
