Camera Chemistry (Love Through a Lens, #0.5)

by Chelsea Curto

“Your conscience doesn’t allow you to keep a library book for longer than the allotted hold time. Do you honestly think I’d come to you if I needed to cover up a murder?”

“I’ve been lonely for almost five years. Then, on a whim, I walk into a warehouse and meet you. I don’t know what that means in the grand scheme of life, but it’s got to be worth something, if only for a little while. Being here with you tonight renews that hope I have.”

“Yes, I am, because it’s tight and fucking delicious, but I’m also going to miss you, Maggie. Laughing with you. Talking with you. Just being with you. I wanted you to know that before you left.”

“You’ll take care of yourself, right? You won’t let anyone treat you less than the queen you are?”

“I would have always found you, sweetheart, even if it took me years of searching every goddamn hospital. I would have torn the world apart to learn your name and find your smile. And when I did, I would have known right away you were the one, just like I did the second I walked into that warehouse. My life was boring until I met you. Now all I see are colors, and light, and your beautiful, perfect face. I want you, Maggie Houston, however you’ll have me, for the rest of my life.”
