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.
Confession: Sometimes, I wanted a hero to rescue me.
“You deserve a hero. Someone who would take care of you, even though you’re capable of caring for yourself.”
“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.”
“I’m saying I’m all in,” I replied, pushing all my chips to the center of the table. Cohen studied me before matching my bid with all of his. When we turned our cards over, I won.
Confession: My ovaries have a mind of their own.
“I’ll make sure you never want anyone else.”
“Generosity is always a virtue, until the cost is your own peace. And don’t take that to mean you should never feel discomfort in this life, only that certain sacrifices will haunt you and lead to resentment down the road.”
“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.”
I kissed his lips, rejoicing in my role, not as the funny fat friend, but as his wife, as the main character of my own happily ever after.
Confession: I love the life we’re building together.
