“Way to make a girl feel special.” “Special is the last word I would use to describe you.” It feels far too generic for someone like her.
declan!! 🤦🏻♀️ what is it with these kane boys istfg
“You’re trying to tell me that you’re engaged to Declan Kane? Willingly?”
😂 the way everyone’s reaction to this news is the same
“I think part of me always knew she would be the one. It just took a while for the rest of my brain to catch up.” His eyes don’t meet mine.
🥺
I take a step out into the light before I’m stopped by Iris pressing her palm against my cheek. “I’ve been looking for you everywhere. I knew I should have checked the dark and unseemly places first.” Her hand lingers, warming my stubbled chin as I look down at her. “To think you know me better than anyone else.” She laughs, and the sound seems to wash away my last bit of annoyance from tonight. “How are you holding up?” She removes her hand, but I latch onto it and press it against my chest.
i’m obsessssed 💘
I attempt to make my escape, only to be held back by Declan gripping onto my elbow. His hold doesn’t hurt, but it speaks a silent request. Stay. But why? “Yes?” I ask. “Is it that bad?” I look up at him. “What?” “The idea of becoming my wife.” I swear, the rise and fall of his moods tonight is driving me insane.
declan!!! 😩🥺💔
“I don’t treat you like everyone else.” She knows more about me than my own brothers. For her to discount that…it raises my blood pressure. “You’re right.” The tense breath I was holding releases from my lungs. She finally gets it. She continues, “There are moments you treat me great. I’d be stupid to deny that. But there are plenty of times when I feel like I don’t matter. That my needs are merely collateral damage in your pursuit of whatever you think will make you happy.”
☹️ this scene kills me every time 💔
“I’m not confused. Far from it, actually. I know exactly what I want.” “And what is that?” “You.”
yes!! get your girl mr. kane!!!
“There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do to keep you by my side.” “You don’t need to try too hard. I am your wife after all.” “Even if you weren’t, I won’t give you up.” The little smile on his face does something crazy to my heart rate.
💘💘💘
“If you want her to fall in love with you, you have to prove to her how you’re different from all the men she has dated before.” “That can’t be too hard. They were all disgustingly average in every single way.” “Unfortunately for you, you fall into the same category.”
LOL the way cal LIVES for dragging his brother thru the mud 😂😭💀
“I never thought I would be on the receiving end of your temper, but I should have known that being your wife wouldn’t save me from that kind of treatment. If anything, it makes it ten times worse.” “I didn’t mean it. I was angry about the situation with my father and took it out on you.” She stays silent, so I kiss her. Her arms hang by her sides which only increases my desperation. I want her to do something—anything really, so long as it takes away this feeling growing in my gut. “I’m sorry,” I mumble against her lips. Something wet and salty hits my lips, and I break away from our kiss to

i have no words 🥺💔💔💔
“I’ll be better.” “Funny. That’s what my father always told my mom too, right before he hurt her all over again.”
😟🥺💔
“Come home. I’ll cook every day for the rest of our lives so long as you agree to not leave again.” Her eyes shut. “No.” I take advantage of her guard being down and walk up to her. Her chin fits perfectly within the palm of my hand, and I stroke her cheek with my thumb. “Please. I’m miserable without you.”
☹️
“I’m looking for a big, fluffy dog that has separation anxiety.”
hahaha omggg
“Because there is nothing I want more than to turn a house into a home with you.”
