Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Some people just don’t get happily ever after, at least not in the traditional sense.”
“Let him choose his intentions.” “What do you mean?” I asked. “You’re already assuming you know the ‘why’ behind what he did, but the truth is, Tyler’s the only one who knows.”
Confession: I’ve gone so long without a relationship that sometimes I have a hard time believing anyone would want to date me.
“You deserve a hero. Someone who would take care of you, even though you’re capable of caring for yourself.” My lips parted. Was he saying... “A hero would lean in, kiss your forehead, and walk away, because, with a girl like you, he’d know the best is yet to come.”
“A partner, a true partner, can change everything. They’ll bring out the best in you, force you to acknowledge your weak spots, help you grow faster than you ever could on your own. I’d hate for you to miss out on that because you don’t think you deserve it.”
wondering if someday, Henrietta and I would be telling the same story with a child of our own.
“You want her falling for the real you and not some lame tip your brother gave you five minutes before the date. Just be yourself, okay? It’s enough. I promise it’s enough.”
Our eyes met, and her smile grew, deepened, and for a moment, all the air was gone from the room. All the people had vanished. It was her and me and the sound of the pounding in my chest.
“I don’t know how to live without her anymore. It’s like the second I met her, she became my air. Every morning, I woke up, waiting for the second I’d see her at work, hear her voice. And now that she’s gone, I don’t know how to look forward to the next day or how to even have the motivation to get up anymore.”
“When you and Tyler have arguments, because you will, don’t look at it like a break from the ideal life you want to live. Look at it as a chance to make things stronger than they were before.”
Don’t get caught up in keeping score, because in a marriage, you’re both on the same team.”
