Blue, you’re the most inconvenient thing that’s ever happened to me.”
“My name. Say it again. I want to hear it while my tongue is buried inside of you. I want you to remember you’re mine. So, say my name again.”
You’re going to look so pretty on your knees for me.”
“But first, lie down and come on my tongue like the obedient girl I know you are.”
“I like you controlled for everyone else, but I want you unhinged for me.”
“Sometimes the quietest love is the loudest,”
I should’ve reminded her that it took her absence from his life for him to understand what a gift he had, while it was her presence in mine that opened my eyes to everything I’ve ever wanted.
“You can hide with me forever, baby.”
“I want you, Indy. I want us. I want our little life we’ve built even when we thought we were pretending. I want you in our house because you’ve made it a home. I want your mess and your chaos. I want your genuine smiles, the ones you wear when you’re around my sister, the hockey team, and me. I want you happy, and I want to be the reason you are. I want you to choose me.”
My home, my heart, all of it, is with you. There was never a moment of doubt for me, Ryan.
I just need your quiet love because those moments are the loudest declarations I’ve ever heard. I want you for exactly who you are. I’m in love with you, Ryan Shay, and I don’t need the entire world to know that for it to be true.”
“I’m sorry someone let you believe you were hard to love, because, Blue, it’s the easiest thing I’ve ever done.” I shake my head. “God, I love you. I think in a way, I’ve loved you since our first breakfast together. You brought me back to life, Ind, and I will love you as long as you’ll let me.”
let me make this clear, when it comes to her, I have no issue ruining my reputation. I will burn the world down to protect her and I’ll proudly wave the match, so everyone knows I’m the one who did it.”
“Because they’re your family and you’re mine, and the fact you even have to ask is mind-blowing to me. Learning to communicate with your family is the bare minimum, Ind.”
there’s nothing in this world I’d love more than hearing you beg, and trust me, baby, I won’t stop until I hear it.”
I love controlling Ryan, but unhinged Ryan makes me weak.
“Dear God,”
“Who are you praying to?”

“There’s not a world in which we exist that you want me to ask for permission once you’ve already given it. You act like I don’t know you, but I’ve learned you, Blue. I see how wet you get when I tell you what to do. You want me to boss you around and you want the praise when you meet the challenge. You don’t need me to beg for you out loud because you already know how fucking weak I am for you.”
“I’m gone for you, Ind. I love you so fucking much.”
“Ask me, Blue. Ask me because I will give you everything you could ever want.”
you came inside and brought me back to life and I refuse to go back to my world before you. I won’t go back to life before you, Ind.”
I haven’t seen black and white since the second you walked into my apartment. Now it’s pink-painted toes, purple clothes, green plants, and those goddamn yellow curtains.” He shakes his head. “And so much fucking Blue. All I see is Blue.”
when I look at you, I see my entire future and I can’t stand to live in a world where you look at me and don’t see the same thing.”
that was back in December. Even then?”
“Even then.”
I’m sure I’ll continue to be a bit of a lone wolf, to want my time alone as long as that time alone includes her. But Indy, as much as she’s learned to be content in the quiet, will always be a social butterfly. I didn’t buy this place to hide her away from the entire world, I bought it so she could bring our world to us.
