Hello Temptation (Hello, #3)

by Kelsie Hoss

Confession: I’ve gone so long without a relationship that sometimes I have a hard time believing anyone would want to date me.

Grandma raised her eyebrows. “I ain’t about to hide behind no couch.”

“Do you know what it feels like to have people make fun of you at the beach for simply existing at your size? Do you know how it feels to walk by magazines and have headlines shouting at you that you need to change? Do you know how it feels to always be the funny fat friend?” I studied her for a moment, hating anything and everyone that had made her feel like that. “I’ve never seen you that way.” “How do you see me?” she asked. I took her in, and only one word came to mind. “Beautiful.”

“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.”

“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.”
