Second to the Right (The Neverland Chronicles, #1)

by T.S. Kinley

‘To die will be an awfully big adventure.’

Momento mori,”

It was a reminder to live your life in the moment, with the knowledge that you will eventually die.

“Don’t you know that nothing lasts forever, no matter how hard you wish it to be so?”

“But you could be my ‘nothing’ if you wanted?”

think it was Aristotle who said ‘He who has overcome his fears will truly be free.’

“You don’t ever have to be scared when I’m around. I promise I’ll always keep you safe.”

Books gave me that escape.”

“We have time. I won’t rush things with you. I plan to draw this out. Savor every step along the way… then maybe you’ll stay.”

“I want you. I don’t care anymore if you break me when you leave. I’d rather be a broken man who took his chance at real love rather than a foolish man that turned his back on it.”

Life would be so much easier if we could just be honest with each other instead of over analyzing the strings attached.

“There is no shame in caring for yourself. Though it may feel like it, the world does not rest on your shoulders, my dear.”

you deserve to be happy. It’s alright to let yourself be happy.
