On Merit Alone Quotes

“Maybe it was my dream before. But ever since I met you, I dream of a girl I noticed taking shots in the middle of the night with no one around. I dream of her running around with my little niece and bumping her head trying to save her. I dream of a woman who cried her eyes out the same way when I gave her a hug after a hard game as when I gave her a dog. The girl who, right now, instead of being mad at me for doing something incredibly selfish, is mad because she thinks I did it for her and not myself. I dream of my future with her, all the damn time I do. And I think if it’s half as bright as how the present with her has been, then I’ll be a lucky man. When I close my eyes and dream, Merit, it’s no longer holding a trophy in the air, though that would be great. When I close my eyes and dream, baby, I dream of you.”

“I’m always going to give you grace when it comes to the things that have left you scars. Protect you from the things that might bruise you more easily because of it. And forgive you when you accidentally bruise back.”
