Kindle Notes & Highlights
I hate to admit that I’m already falling for her. I knew it would happen, if I’m being honest with myself. It was why I wanted her all those years ago—there was something about her that got under my skin. When she turned me down, it only made me want her more.
“What was I supposed to say? Hey, I’ve liked you since you were in third grade. But by the time I wanted to approach you, you were already fucking my best friend?”
She’ll run. I know her well enough to know that she will take off. That’s just what she does. What she knows.
She can hide all she wants, but I’ll find her. No matter where she goes. A king always finds his queen.
“I let you walk away from me once, Em. I won’t make that mistake again.” Tears sting my eyes at his words. “Did you hear me? I won’t let you leave. Not me. Not this time.” He runs his thumb over my swollen lips. “Stay here with me. Let me fix it. I promise I’ll get to the bottom of it.” The first tear runs down my cheek. “Let me take care of you. Let me love you.”
“I love you.” I say the words that I’ve never told another man. I have no regrets or second thoughts. This man is the one for me. And I hold my breath, hoping that he feels the same about me.
He brings his lips to mine. “I love you too.” Then he kisses me.
