Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I don’t care about unfounded rumors or what you think you know about him. Here’s what I know from firsthand experience: he’s been nothing but helpful since we met. He encouraged me to follow my dreams and believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. He’s been more supportive of me in the few months I’ve known him than you’ve been of me my entire life, and I won’t let you insult him for standing up for me.”
“I could watch you count every grain of sand on the beach and it would be exciting.”
On paper, our relationship had been fake, but there was nothing fake about the way he’d taken care of me, supported me, and believed in me. Nor was there anything fake about the way I felt when I was with him, like I could be me and he’d want me anyway, flaws and all.
“The day I met you,” he said, “was the luckiest day of my life. You’ve always been the brightest part of my world, Butterfly. And you always will be.”
Because all the most beautiful days of my life have been with you, and I wouldn’t trade that for anything in the world.
The world wasn’t black and white, no matter how much I wished it were. And sometimes, we found our happiness in the shades of gray.
