Kindle Notes & Highlights
“You’re too good for me.” “Wren,” I say as a gush of wind drags snow around us, shining in the moonlight. “Nothing could be too good for you.”
“God, how can you not see I’m so in love with you I can hardly breathe?”
“You act like you’re already dead when you’re so fucking alive!”
Because you were mine way before you even knew it.”
God. I’ll marry this woman someday.
For a time, I thought a moment like this one would never happen. And now here we are. With her in my arms, showing me her love is real.
Let’s make memories, no matter how long they’ll last.” Her throat bobs, telling me I’ve hit just the spot. “Let’s live, cariño.”
no one knows what’s ahead. But what I do know is the present is really, really beautiful.
“I will always wish I could have more time with you, Aaron. No amount of years will ever be enough.” I swallow. “But even though our time will likely be cut short, I’ll cherish it with all I have. Because it was, and still is, everything.”
Hands in mine, he murmurs, “I promise to remember everything.”
“I’ll fill my mind to the brim with all the moments we have spent and will spend together, big or small. And when I become old and dusty one day and feel like they’re starting to slip away, then I’ll write them all down. I won’t let any moment go.”
“I know forgetting scares you, and I get it. I get it so much. But don’t worry about our memories, cariño. They’re safe with me.”
And then, I see him. He’s walking back from the mailbox, his hair streaked with gray, face just as lovely as the day we met. My body instantly relaxes. And when our eyes meet and he smiles at me, I know that whatever happens, it will be all right.
