Without a Hitch

I have an uncomfortable feeling that she could harness the sun and bring me to my knees in one fell swoop.

“You’re fiery, Pepper. Sprightly. A sassy little pixie who gets shit done, and I find that sexy as fuck.”

Dreams are meant to change. We’re not stagnant or paper dolls. If the dreams we have as children don’t adjust to the changes in our life, they’re just that. Dreams.

You’re not guaranteed a future, but you do have today. Start livin’ for today and build a future on the happiness that brings.”

“Because, Lochlan. Some people are meant to do great things in life, and some people are meant to help make those things happen. I’m a helper. I’ve always been a helper, and right now, my mission is to help you be the man I know you are under all that anger.”

“That’s a choice too, Loch. Choose to be the man she deserves every day, and that will never happen. People change as years go by, sure, but choose to change with her. Make her the number one priority in your life every single day, and love will bend and shift with you.”

“Love isn’t just about the highs in life, Lochlan. It’s about how you react to the lows. Who has your back and who will pick you up. Loving someone is the greatest gift you can ever give. It’s how you love someone in the quiet moments when no one’s looking that matters.”
