The Difference Between Somebody and Someone (The Difference Trilogy Book 1)

by Aly Martinez

“I want you to keep this.” A smile pulled at my lips as I took the silver safety pin from her fingers. “Is this…the same one?” She nodded. “You’ve fixed me so many times, Bowen. I want you to have it. That way, maybe one day, I

can be the one to fix you.” Wrapping her hand over mine, she closed my hand around the silly memento. “Who knows. Maybe somebody else will need a hero one day.”

“It may not have turned out the way you hoped, but—in my opinion—loving someone through, despite, and after the impossible is quite literally the definition of success in a relationship.”

“There are two types of people in the world, Remi. There are a million somebodies on this planet. But there’s a huge difference between somebody and someone. From the moment we met, I knew you, my beautiful, crazy woman, were definitely someone. And if there is even a fraction of a chance that you think I’m a someone too, then yeah, it’s exactly that easy. To hell with the rest of the women in the world. I want you.”
