170 " Time for gelato?” “Hmm, I don’t know. You already had gelato yesterday.” “Please!” He squeezes my neck tighter. “You’re the bestest uncle ever.” “Thanks. It was a tough competition with myself, but I’m glad I won.” Chloe giggles and I want to hear more of it. “So yes?” Marko whines. “Why don’t you go run around some more?” Go run. Go hide.

177 " Don’t let anyone in on our secret. I couldn’t handle the fall out. "
178 " There’s only one thing I need to focus on, and my goal has nothing to do with a woman who dared to call me an asshole and laugh about it. "
179 " She’s like a rainbow after the storm, and I’ll be damned if she fades away once the sun breaks through the clouds. "
