Maybe Not (Maybe, #1.5)

by Colleen Hoover

I need her to admit that there’s an actual heart inside her chest. And that sometimes it beats for me.

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

“I can’t believe I’m falling in love with such a stupid, stupid asshole.”

“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.”

“I don’t want you to change, Bridgette. I’m not in love with who you could be, or who you used to be, or who the world says you should be. I’m in love with you. Right now. Just like this.”
