“I’m thinking a Spring wedding. I know it’s soon, but I’d be crazy to wait longer. Mrs. Ciara Castro. Damn, that sounds fucking perfect, don’t you think?”

“Being surrounded by all the dark shit I have to deal with and the broken people I try to help, you’re the sunlight. You’re the one thing I want for myself.”

“My future will be on my chest. My purpose for living.”

“…ride me all you want, mi sol. Just know I’m not going to keep still.”

“To a lifetime of getting to know each other and growing old together. Whether it’s as friends or lovers, I’m the luckiest man alive to have you in my life.”

“…when I pull the fabric out, it reveals a framed photo. It was taken at the dinner we had with Grace and Dominik. We’re all smiling. I look happy. Then I see Santiago’s expression, and there’s no doubt that he’s looking at me with love.”

“I wanted you to see what I see when I look at you,” 🥹

“Your strength and how well you’re doing amazes me,” he whispers. “Fuck, I’m so proud of you, mi vida.”

“Why are you kneeling?”
Because you’re worth kneeling for.

“You haven’t watched a sunrise since you found her.”
“I don’t need to. She’s my sunrise.”

“…then suddenly, a shooting star has a smile curving my lips. Let me find my woman. It’s the only wish I’ve had since Lorena told me about the woman I’ll share my life with. Mi Sol.”

“I’d never get tired of making her smile and blush. She was my wife, my partner, my guiding star. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

“As long as Vivian was happy, I was happy.”

“Per te aspetterei per sempre, amore mio.” (I would wait for you forever, my love)

“Spero non ci vorrà così tanto.“ (I hope it doesn’t take that long)

“This is emotional manipulation.”
“I learned from the best.”
“Mother,” we said in unison.

“Tell me what you want, Vivian. Do you want me on my knees?”

“I had all the money in the world, but it couldn’t buy me the only thing I wanted. Her, back by my side.”

“That’s six reasons,” Dante said. “I can work with six. I can even work with a thousand.”

“You don’t think we’re a good idea, but I’ll prove we are.” “Give me time, mia cara. That’s all I need, besides you.”

“You’ve been gone less than a week and I already feel like I’ve spent an eternity in hell.”

“Don’t let your pursuit of wrath ruin the best thing that’s ever happened to you. Yeah, figuring things out with Vivian will be hard, but you’ve always been a fighter. So fucking fight.”

“You’re dating someone named Leaf?”

Haha sorry this took me out 🤣

“But no matter how hard I cried or how much I shook, I couldn’t make a sound. My sobs remained silent, felt but unheard.”

“You can’t live your life trying to please others. You can be courteous and respectful, and you can compromise, but when it comes down to it? It’s your life. Don’t waste it.”

“Se sapessi il potere che hai su di me,” (if you knew the power you have over me) - Dante

“I’m sorry! I don’t have a sex life at the moment, okay? I’m living vicariously through you.” - Isabella 😆

“Grumpy, brooding Dante had grown on me the past few months. But sweet, playful Dante? He was kryptonite to my heart.”

“You can’t see the stars in New York,” Dante said. “So I brought the stars to you.”

“Life had a fucked up sense of humor.”

“If you wanted to spend more time with me, mia cara, you only have to say so.”

“I’m the only one who gets to see you like this.” His voice turned harsh. “You”—thrust—”are”—thrust—”my”—thrust—”wife.”

“Because you’re mine.” His teeth scored my neck. “You wear my ring. You’ve come on my face and hand. You live in my head all the fucking time, even if I don’t want you to...” His palm slid to my hip, where his fingers dug grooves into my skin. “And God, I want to punish you for driving me so damn crazy. Every. Single. Day.”
