His gaze came back to my face, and we looked at each other for a moment. His grip slipped down my wrist, palm, fingers. The rough pads of his fingertips brushed my softer ones, and made my heart skip a beat.

this is peak romance for me 😭🤌🏻

My breaths turned shallow when he moved to walk past me but stopped by my side. His arm touched mine and it burned like the lightest licks of a flame. His voice brushed the side of my neck. “It’s nice to meet you, Elena.” He said my name like he should have earlier: without any insinuation. Like I was something he could check off his list before he walked away.

THE TENSIONNN ❤️‍🔥

I worship every inch of her. The ground she walks on. The way she smiles and laughs and loves me.

MY MANNN ❤️‍🔥😮‍💨

he wraps his arms around me and lifts me up. “Let’s go,” he says, kissing my cheek as he carries me to bed. “I want to sleep with my girl in my arms one last time.”

LEIGH RIVERS WHEN I CATCH YOU 😭

“I’d ruin myself to keep you safe.”
“You have a beautiful soul,” she says. “You’re worth more than death.”

my precious babies 🥺

“You aren’t alone anymore, son. If those bastards try to come anywhere near you, I’ll make them pay. Do you hear me?”
“I want them to pay,” he says, his chin and bottom lip trembling. His body shudders as he tries to breathe. “He hurt me, Dad. He hurt me, and I couldn’t do anything to defend myself.”

kill me why don’t you 🙂🔫

“She’s not your anything.”
“Uh, yes, I am.”
“Hear that, Ricey?” Joey replied, with a shit-eating grin etched on his face. “Your girl here is my anything.”

i love this cocky side of joey sm 🤭

Tobias Mitchell. “To- Tobias?” Kade’s father grabs the blanket right next to us, wraps it around me, then pulls me in for a hug I didn’t realise I needed. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. You’re okay. You’re safe with me,” he says softly as he strokes my hair, letting me cry into his chest. “I found you, little one.”

this broke my heart but also healed it 🥺❤️‍🩹

“You are not alone, Emily. I would walk through my worst memories to get to you every single time.”

“I never take guys back to my house or my bed.”
I cradle her face and run my thumb below her lip. “I don’t want to be one of the guys. I want to be yours.”


GIGGLING AND SCREAMINGGGG 😭😭😭 THEY ARE SO CUTEE!! jack is literally my dream man HELPP

“But you’re not scared of storms?”
I laugh once. “I’m the oldest daughter, I’m not scared of anything.”

oh how much love and hate reading books about eldest daughters 😭❤️‍🩹

i will never forgive marie for saying that joey is just like his father bcs it was exactly that moment that destroyed his life and he became addicted to pain and drugs 💔

Jack softly wraps his hands around my wrists, cradling them. “I’m listening, Emily. What do you need?”
“I need you to fix it.”
“Name it. I’ll do it for you.” He sounds like he means it.

where is my jack bennet when i need him 😭

“You saw me back there,” she stated evenly, green eyes snaring me.
“I did.”
“You kept walking.”
I nodded like a fool. “I did.”
“Don’t do that again.”
Fuck me. “I won’t.”

she has him on knees from the very first day 😮‍💨

he’s a dirty blonde, has a great sense of fashion, wears those sexy glasses, and RIDES A SPORTS BIKE while wearing all that sexy black gear? and he’s fictional? that is so RUDE of you, universe 🙂

“You could walk over me, Sybil Delling. Throw me down until I am dust. I don’t know what to call it, but I want it. I want you.”

i want him so bad 🫠😭

“What about you?” I reached out. Drew a finger up his side.
“Are you still in pain?”
He shivered. “Near you? Always.”

the tension 😮‍💨❤️‍🔥 the chemistry 🤌🏻

“I’d like you better if you were on your back again.” He smiled. An unfamiliar heat burrowed into my face.
“From throwing you and your inferior strength down, obviously.”
“Loud and clear, Diviner. I hear you loud and clear.”

they have me giggling and smiling like a fool at 3 am 😭💞

“I’m glad it’s you.” He breathes a small laugh before pressing his smiling lips to mine.
“It’s always been you, Hallie.”

STOPP THEY ARE THE CUTESTTT 😭💕

You were everywhere. In the music I listened to. In the house I live in. I tried to compare every single person I met to you, but there was no comparison.

how will i go back to function in normal world after this 😭😭😭

“She’s already got the red heart emoji in her contact name?” Zee whistles. “You got it bad, my guy.”
“It’s for her last name. Hart. H— Heart. It’s a thing from when we were kids.”

he's already down bad for her 🤭

“Do you need me to take care of this guy for you, Hal?”
All I see is red. “What did you call her?”
“Rio, don’t.” I keep my focus on him.
“No. What the fuck did you call her?”

i love jealous rio 🤣

I haven’t spoken Hallie’s name in six years, but she has been living rent free in my mind.

Ryan: Fine. Rio, you back or what?
Me: Your care and concern for me hold no bounds. Honey, I’m home!
Ryan: I hate this.
Me: I know. The distance was hard for me too, Ryan.

Here’s to the 10 characters, 5 couples, 3 teams, 2 sets of siblings, and 1 amazing friend group that changed my life. This one is dedicated to you, the readers. Thank you for hanging out in Chicago with me.

**small spoiler**

For the next two years, I die a little more each day, until the version of Kade Mitchell I want to be turns into a ghost. My soul is shattered and broken, and I lose all the pieces, unable to glue it back together. Look at me now, my little princess. Daddy’s gone, and he’s never coming back.

i can't stop sobbing 😭💔 this is pure torture

Maybe if I die, I’ll reincarnate into a dog. Stacey likes dogs. She’ll cuddle me. I like her cuddles.

“I am sold for sex and death to protect everyone I love.”

“The year we spent together was the worst year of my life,” he says. “If I could take every moment back, every lie, I would.”
