“I almost lost you, and it would have been the biggest mistake of my life because, Piper, we are meant to be together. If soul mates existed, you’d be mine.

― Jessa Wilder, Rules of the Game

“Piper, since the day you came crashing into my life, even my seven-year-old brain understood the world had somehow shifted. I spent the next fifteen years figuring out what that meant.

Even the thought of us being apart makes my chest ache with a hollowness that’s too painful to describe.”
