Kindle Notes & Highlights
“The truth is, ordinary humans are capable of doing extraordinary things every single day without living extraordinary, extra lives. It’s the art, the creativity that sets them apart, not what they fucking eat for breakfast or who they’re fucking. Let them have their eggs in peace.”
“You just fucking fell out of the sky, didn’t you?” The cabin of the SUV clouds with energy as a surreal gravity threatens to draw us closer. “In a way,” I swallow, “I guess I did.” My mouth dries as he refuses to free me from the power of his perusal. As I opt for honesty, my heart begins to thrum harder with each passing second. “Thank you for giving me a soft place to land, Easton.”
Easton Crowne is not some budding star. He’s a supernova. He’s undoubtedly a prodigy—a genius disguised in a beautiful, but highly breakable—human package. At any time in the future, if he so desires, he will become a world-renowned star.
If what Easton said is true, and we live in echoes of defining moments, I want to remain in this one for as long as I possibly can.

You don’t deny yourself anything you want in life because of timing. That’s a coward’s excuse.”
“If you weren’t so determined to keep me out of your bed, I’d be fucking the breath out of you right now, Natalie.” I let out a shaky exhale as his erection brushes against me. “In my mind, I’ve already sunk inside you a thousand times.”
god DAMN
What appears to be bold black feather tips peak along the side of his neck.
ravenhood cross over?? 👀
Kissing her was heaven, but fucking her before she flees from her self-confessed biggest mistake would be a hell I don’t want to sign up for.
You punched a hole in my goddamned chest in Seattle, only to leave me in the dark to try and figure out how to fill it.”
Fuck my feelings. They don’t take a back seat to my self-respect.

“In the future, you might want to rethink looking at women with such clear judgment and consider them past their appearances, and maybe, one day, you’ll be worthy of any woman who kneels for you.”
“This is me fighting dirty for us both, so please just admit it so I can give you the best parts of me, because I want every fucking part of you.”

Love is purpose, belonging, and the very definition of living.
“I think I knew you existed and was waiting.” He kisses me soundly and pulls away. “My wife,” his tone full of wonder. “You found me.”
“And how do we love each other?” “Wholly, unconditionally, and definitively.”
“Your dreams don’t and won’t come second to mine. I want to be the man that stands beside you or behind you when you need me to. I can and will be there for you when it matters most to you.”
The bomb went off, and even through the smoke, I can still see you, Easton. I can still feel you.”
Once upon a time, Elliot Easton Crowne was mine. He was mine, and we were as close as two people could ever be.
“Do you think I didn’t know what I was giving up when I let you go? I’ve been brave, Easton. Brave enough to face and endure the pain and the knowledge that I lost the thing with you that made me feel the most alive. I’ve braved every day knowing I should never have let you drive away that night without telling you that I love you, that I’m sorry, and that I wish I would have done so many things differently. And I’ll regret it tomorrow, the day after, and after that for the rest of my fucking life—that’s bravery!”

As you’ve said all along, our parents’ story isn’t ours. But in one major way it is—because like theirs, our love is timeless,”
“He’s my supernova, the only star in my sky, and oh…how he shines. Every time I look at him, my insides light fire, and I am every bit a moth to his flame. But I don’t care if I burn because…because I would rather burn with him in any capacity, than exist safely anywhere else without him.”
