Kindle Notes & Highlights
The only love I have is reserved for myself and the select few I grant my real attention to—Bishop, my aunt and uncle, Lucas, and Gemma.
Its so cute that he included Gemma
A chant repeats in my mind: all mine, all mine, all mine, mine, mine.
Beautiful and mine. Mine to protect. Mine to care for. Mine.
I don’t want to go to my depressing empty house in the mountains, and I’m not leaving her alone right now. Forget snooping for Blair’s secrets. I’m going to get my girl.
People are your home, not the places you live.
TWENTY-SIX
Honestly. This whole chapter just put the biggest smile on my face.
I feel safe, loved, and at peace laying my head on Devlin’s shoulder while he combs his fingers through my hair. I feel…home.
Revenge doesn’t end with happily ever after. My mistake was forgetting that.
“I’d chase you anywhere, Blair. I don’t exist without you.”
“Because her daughter is my girlfriend and her mom is her whole fucking world—something you’d never understand! This is the girl I love. She’s my family. My universe. I’ll do everything to protect and care for her. If you don’t do it, I’ll come for you, old man. Do we have a deal?”
What I wanted from them was never money. It was just the last lingering wishes of a lonely little boy missing the love of his parents, hoping they’d notice or care. I have the only family that matters to me and it no longer includes them.
Honestly, this is heartbreaking.
“I’ve been this way for so long, when you dug your way into my heart, it scared me. I was too greedy. I just—I wanted too much because I stopped myself from feeling those things. I was drunk on you.”
“You’re my shooting star. My wishes come true when I’m with you.” He turns his face, grazing his mouth over my neck. “My heart belongs to you.”
The family I found is growing. A warm glow rises inside me. I think it might be happiness. Blair rests her forehead against mine. I hook my hands around her waist and kiss her. My thumb strokes over her freckled cheek when we part. “My shooting star. You’re better than a wish.”
