Say It's Forever (Redemption Hills #2)

by A.L. Jackson

Trusting only made you vulnerable. Put you in a position where you could be hurt.

“Sometimes the scariest journeys are the ones where the lost finally find the right path to lead them home.” My brow curled, and my head shook. He squeezed my hand tighter. “It’s okay to be afraid. The courageous always are. They just understand taking the chance is worth the fear and the risk.”

“You don’t want me to hunt you down, Salem? Get it. But I’m afraid my heart might have already claimed you as my own.”

“Next time you get scared? Next time you want to run? Promise me you’ll run to me.”

“I know you’re scared of it. Hell, I know this is terrifying for us both. Neither of us expected it. But I love you, Salem. I love you with all of me. With the good parts and the bad parts. With the ones that are whole and the ones that are broken. All of them—they belong to you.” Emotion filled every cell in my body. Spirit and soul. “Say it’s forever.” The plea left me on a whimper. “It’s forever, baby. Today, tomorrow, and always.”
