Revive Me, Part Two: The Affair (New Haven, #3)

by J.L. Seegars

“Because from the second I found out Eric was gone, all I wanted to do was hold you long enough to absorb your grief. To take every ounce of the pain you’ve been holding and carry it for you. When I boarded that plane, I knew I had no right to want any of those things, to want anything from you, but I want this, princess. I want to be here for you. Will you let me?”

WAHHHHHHHH 😭😭😭😭

I still don’t know how she manages to say ‘fuck around and find out’ without moving anything but one of her eyebrows, but her ability to do so kept all of us from fucking around, because we never, ever wanted to find out.

I grind my teeth together to keep from laughing. She says it like I have no idea how much time has passed since I’ve had her in my arms. Like I haven’t counted every day, every hour, every second I’ve lived without her.
