Status Updates From Light Up My Heart (A Point ...

Book quote I love:

I can’t even buy a bottle of water from the servo without Christmas cheer being shoved down my throat.

Who sings ‘Merry Christmas’ when they greet their customers … in a voice that sounds like an angel?

<3 "The main person I wanted to know the truth about is you. I need you to know what’s going down, what I’m up against, why I need to return to the city."

on end, most likely from the gale outside, and the rugged

it’s his eyes that take my breath away. Not because they’re
dazzling and bright and sexy but because they’re … sad. Blue
eyes that are so incredibly, utterly sad. How could anybody be
so morose at such a joyous time?

eyes fixed on the road train rumbling back onto the
highway.

I can’t go even buy a bottle of water from the servo without Christmas cheer being shoved down my throat. Who sings ‘Merry Christmas’ when they greet their customers … in a voice that sounds like an angel?

'Ryan deserves someone who’s going to stick around for the long haul, and that’s not me.'
