Fairy Cakes in Winter Quotes

“What are you saying, Scott?” “I’m saying…I think I’ve been waiting my whole life for you. I feel it. In here.” I smacked my chest and sucked in a breath. “You walk into a room, and everything stops. You’re music and laughter and light and peace. And I don’t understand that last one ’cause you talk all the damn time, but it’s true. I’m a better man when I’m with you and I…don’t want to live without you. I love you, Theo. I just…I love you.”

“Let’s not do that. I don’t think I’m made for casual long-distance affairs. I’m possessive and prone to wicked fits of jealousy and…I don’t want you to ever regret me.” “I will never ever regret you, Theo,” he said vehemently. “Never.”

“I love you,” he whispered. Fuck. I gathered him close and rolled to my side, resting my chin on his head as tears welled. I kissed his hair and caressed his shoulders. I didn’t speak, though. I couldn’t. I wasn’t brave like Theo. I didn’t know how to say those words, knowing I’d already lost him.”

“It felt like a religious experience to see and be seen in all my ugly pieces. All my scars and wounds. The lies I’d told and the truths I’d covered. I’d been walking with armor for years. I’d forgotten what it felt like to put it down and let go.”
