Occasional Fires and Saints Quotes

“anything. Where one truth rose above all other truths. That once, there was a man named Joe who loved a man named Noah. Noah, the love of Joe’s life. A man so brave and strong that the entire world stood back and watched in awe as he fought his way back to a life he thought he’d lost.”

“I really want to kiss you, but I’m afraid you’ll not want me to,” he blinked slowly, his voice deep and hoarse. “I don’t ever want to do something that you don’t want me to, Noah.”
