Quotes by Steph Post (?)

“but whereas Ruby had built up walls, Hayden crashed through the walls of others. He had always been so confident, so sure of himself, even to the point of being cocky. She’d watched him with other women, and she knew they loved his swagger, but Ruby was drawn to what was underneath. The hard-edged honesty. The ability to throw himself at life and take whatever it had to offer. To trust that he would land on his feet.”
― Steph Post, Miraculum
