Kindle Notes & Highlights
This is for those of you that believe your past defines your future. It doesn’t.
“Because he doesn’t deserve you, and you should never let a man hold you back from chasing your dreams. Not Noah, not me, and certainly not Brad. Follow your dreams, Aria, and if he’s the one, he’ll follow you.”
I can lose myself in some fictional story, a story that’ll allow me to experience moments of happiness that elude me in my own life.
“Brad was a fool to mess with you,” he tells me, his thumb stroking the edge of my lips. “A fucking fool. When I saw those tears in your eyes… there’s no way he was going to get away with what he did. No fucking way. No one hurts you and gets away with it. No one. Not on my fucking watch. I will never sit there and watch your heart break, Ari.”
I’m done for. The way she makes me feel… yeah. There’s no point in fooling myself any longer. I’m falling for my best friend’s little sister.
The only one I’ve been sleeping with is you.”
“Tell me you’re mine, Aria. Tell me that from this day forward, I get to call you mine.”
I’m fucking crazy about you, and I have been for months. Hell… I’m pretty sure I love you.”
“You’re it for me, baby. I want a whole life with you. I want your clothes next to mine, your makeup in my bathroom. I want you to have your own side of the bed, and I want to wake up to you completely disregarding that and lying on top of me instead, driving me insane.”
There’s no way a woman like Aria could ever be with the son of a rapist. She might try to convince herself it doesn’t matter, but it does.
“Just because Jesus was a martyr doesn’t mean you need to be.”
You might be enjoying a sense of freedom now, but you’d better remember what it cost.”
we’re two damaged souls that sought salvation in each other, our quest ending in mutual destruction instead.
But here’s the thing about that… just because he’s the love of my life doesn’t mean I’m his.
