Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Never jump,” I whisper. “Never fall.” His lips brush my back. He hugs me tight, wrapping himself around me. “You gotta be careful, Millsy. Don’t come here without me.”
“I know something happened to you,” I whisper. “And it doesn’t change a thing for me. When I think of something hurting you, I want to fucking murder whatever it is. Whatever gave you nightmares. I would rip it apart. If I could.”
“Tell me this much: Who fucked up before me? Who fucked around with you and made you feel like loving you was hard work?”
You think helping you feel good could ever be a burden to me?”
I just want to tell you that I’m happier than I deserve. And that I love him. I hope it will last.
You know what you need to stay alive? I figured this out. You need someone. It can even just be one person. That makes you feel...tethered to life. Like you're not alone and drifting with no meaning. Like you're not the only alien on the planet.
"Like that, don't you?" he murmurs. "You remember?" "I remember everything about you."
