Happy Place

by Emily Henry

I was more scared of marrying someone who couldn’t bring himself to leave me or to keep loving me.

“Because in this life, I decided not to stay there,” he says. “I decided to do something different than my parents did, be someone different. But if I had another one to live, I’d want the one where I stayed too.”

Every time his expression changed, I used to think the new one was my favorite. Until it changed again and I had to accept that whichever Wyn was directly in front of me, that was the one I loved most.

“In every universe, it’s you for me. Even if it’s not me for you.”

Want is a kind of thief. It’s a door in your heart, and once you know it’s there, you’ll spend your life longing for whatever’s behind it.

You, you, you.
