Fixation Quotes

“I hate this.” Tears stain her beautiful cheeks. I catch one of them with my lips, then put some distance between us so I can meet her tortured emerald gaze. “I love you.” “Shut up.” Her eyes squeeze tight, her face crumpled. “Don’t you dare say that to me. Don’t you dare love me. Loving me. Ha.” She opens her eyes, glowering at me beneath thick, wet lashes. I cup her cheeks, and she grabs both my wrists, desperate to bound me to her. To keep me safe, even. “When you die in a year or a few months, what am I supposed to do with this love, then?” “I won’t die so fast.” Harper hears me best when I lower my voice. She gets off on it. “In fact, you’ll hear me say that I love you for the rest of our lives.”
