The Ex I'd Love to Hate (The Lasker Brothers #3)

by Nadia Lee

“Why do people think love is special?” I stop for a second, realizing maybe love isn’t the best analogy. But it slipped out, and it’s going to be weird if I try to take it back. “Why do we make thousands of movies and stories and books about it?” “Because they’re profitable,” he says. “No. Because love is rare, which makes it special. Some people never even get to experience it before they die.” “If they never do, how do they know they’re missing anything?” “I think part of their soul longs for it. They know, deep inside, the other half of their soul is out there.”

“What if I hate you?” she demands. “It doesn’t matter. I still love you. I’ll never, ever leave you to be alone.”

“I’m never going to leave your side,” he whispers somberly. “I’m always going to be there for you. I’m going to prove myself to you even if I have to walk across broken glass to do it.”
