Kindle Notes & Highlights
“One day, some girl is gonna walk into your life and flip your whole world upside down and you’re not gonna know what the fuck to do with yourself except drop to your knees and beg her to never leave.”
Think I could keep you forever.”
just want you to consider…consider giving me a shot. Consider me.
“Can I keep you?” he asks. “Yes.” My heart skitters to a stop at the simple answer spoken without thought,
Fear is a funny, fickle thing. It’s there to protect you, to keep you from getting hurt, a glaring neon sign that warns you from getting too close, tells you to back up before it’s too late. But it keeps you stuck, weighed down in one spot, like feet stuck in mud. And more often than not? You get hurt anyway.
We’ve had to choose each other every single day, put aside our differences and work together to compromise, to build a life together. Maybe it looks like everything simply fell into place for us, but we’ve worked hard at this, and with any good relationship, you will.
“Terrified.” “What scares you the most?” “That I’m going to fall in love with him.” “Oh, honey.” Mom laughs. It’s one of those humoring laughs, the kind where you expect her to say you sweet, sweet fool when she wraps it up. “I hate to tell you this, sweetheart, but if you’re scared of falling in love with him, well…you’re already halfway there.”
When things aren’t going the way you want them to, time stands still. You feel stuck, rooted in place, and your feet won’t lift to take the steps you need to move in the direction you want to go.
“In a relationship, the only person ever in control is the woman. She always—always, always, always—has the power. She owns you and those dangly things between your legs.”
“I’m all in, as long as it’s you I’m all in with.”
“You’re my favorite kind of different.”
“Stay with me forever. Please. I’ll be everything you need.”
“When you met, it was like two worlds colliding, an explosion of color. You met her wild with your calm, and you’ve drowned her in love every step of the way. The love you share has always been an inspiration to never settle for anything other than unrestrained passion, fierce obsession, a love that knows no bounds and only gets stronger every day.”
“You’re all the best parts, the cozy snuggles, the quiet conversations while we’re lying in bed, the sleepy mornings. The way my whole body comes alive when I see you for the first time after coming home, the way your face lights up and you jump into my arms and hold me like you need me as much as I need you.”
