Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Then it’s the music they relate to, my feelings, my experiences, maybe my politics or beliefs at the time I was feeling them when I wrote it. I don’t want to be held to some inhuman standard. I want to be able to make mistakes and evolve, just like everyone else. So, no, I’m not signing up for anything. I’m sharing my music. That’s it. I don’t want anything else from it.”
He beats me to it with a rough whisper. “You just fucking fell out of the sky, didn’t you?”
“Maybe you should fucking answer it this time, ’cause from where I’m standing, it looks like you want to.”
“Easton,” I sigh, as my heart swells unbearably, “you have seriously got to stop this. I was okay with you being gorgeous, brilliant, talented, selfless, and really, really, good in bed, but adding hopeless romantic is going way too far.”
“Just promise me, if there’s any part of this you can’t live with, you’ll speak up.” He lifts a brow. “Have we fucking met? You’re such a pain in the ass. I know we’ll have plenty to fight about.”
He opens his mouth to speak, but pauses, instead running a hand over his jaw. “Are we being that selfish, Beauty? Or are they?” “I think we all are, but they’re reeling because we blindsided them. First with the fact we exist at all, and then by eloping.”
The bomb went off, and even through the smoke, I can still see you, Easton. I can still feel you.”
There are high stakes to truly loving another human being, and you have to hand your heart to them with all the trust you have without knowing the outcome.
