The Confidence of Wildflowers (Wildflower Duet, #1)

by Micalea Smeltzer

“Sitting on your roof, watching the sunset, just … existing with you.”

“I want to have the confidence of wildflowers—to never give up, to flourish, and thrive.”

“I’m raising a son,” he says firmly, “and if I ever heard him say that shit about a woman, I would know I failed him. Just being a guy. Boys will be boys, it’s a bullshit excuse, Salem. Don’t ever let some loser make you think otherwise.”

“You really don’t have to do this.” I want him to know I don’t expect him to get up at the crack of dawn every morning in case I have a nightmare. “I know,” he says, reaching for the dumbbells. “But I want to. It’s what you do when you care about someone.” “What exactly?” Chocolate brown eyes flicker over my body. “You find a way to let them know they aren’t alone.”
