Hello Temptation (Hello, #3)

“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.

“Settling down is not the same as settling for less. It’s resting where you know you belong. Not needing to run and chase and search anymore. It’s the best feeling ever.”

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.”

“It’s fucking hard,” Rhett said, pain ghosting in his eyes. “But you get your ass up and you do it anyway because she’s not the only person you love.”
