The Ex Files (Ocean View, #1)

by Morgan Elizabeth

“From now on, it’s my job to make sure you know how fucking beautiful you are. To make sure you don’t question it, and when you look in the mirror, you only see beauty. When you see spots you used to hate, you remember me kissing them. Make sure you know how fucking gorgeous I think every damn inch of you is.”

I am. I am because games are the only things saving me, the only things keeping me from breaking down, giving in. The only things keeping my heart safe from disappointment down the road.

The only one deceiving you is yourself. You’re keeping you from being happy because you’re too worried about protecting yourself before you can even get close enough to get hurt.”
