Maybe Not (Maybe, #1.5)

by Colleen Hoover

She’s nothing I’ve ever wanted in a girl. And absolutely everything I need.

“The only difference between falling in love and being in love is that your heart already knows how you feel, but your mind is too stubborn to admit it.” Then I whisper in her ear. “But take all the time you need. I have nothing but patience for you.”

I hold her for several quiet minutes, replaying the entire scene in my head. “God, you’re such a bitch.” She laughs again. “I know. A bitch who finally met the right asshole.”
