Behind Her Smile Quotes

“My chest squeezes at this tenderness. It's as if he can't stand the thought of causing me more pain. I'm a splintered piece of glass he doesn't want to damage further. Those powerful hands don't cause pain; they still have the ability to soothe. A strange sensation fills my chest and wraps my heart until the jagged little pieces fall back into place. "Please tell me it looks worse than it feels.”

“The impulsive part of me wants to trust Alec. The patter is familiar enough. It's how I ended up a married woman at just twenty-two.
