1 " I just realized, baby, right now, thinking of how I could take this pain away from you, I just realized that you have to feel it. You gotta make your way through all the bad stuff to get to the good. "
― Molly O'Keefe , The Truth About Him (Everything I Left Unsaid, #2)
2 " She was saying words she didn’t totally believe yet. And maybe I was, too. But I wanted them to be true. For the first and only time in my life, I wanted to belong to someone and have that person belong to me. "
3 " You’re not broken, Dylan. I know you’re not. "
4 " It’s about his family. It will always be about his family. And himself. Deep in your heart you know that and you’re trying to convince yourself that you can save him. And you can’t. There’s no saving Dylan Daniels. "
5 " Sometimes, maybe we don’t know exactly what we have until someone shows us. "
6 " Love is a knife that really only cuts one way, and that's deep. "
7 " Love was a choice and we made it everyday. "
8 " I wanted to fuck her and protect her all at the same time. I wanted to keep her and push her away. I was everything in opposites, and I felt torn apart by her. "
9 " Family, Love. Forgiveness. Those were powerful things. "
10 " You changed me, baby,” I told her, stroking her cheek. “I barely recognize who I was before you came into my life. And I don’t…I don’t want to go back to being that way. "
11 " Sometimes you just had to feel it. Sometimes you had to let the terror and the anger and the fear tear you apart. So you could feel what came next. "
12 " You’re going to be happy again,” Dylan said. “I swear it. We can…we can get through this. You and me. I promise.”“We barely know each other, Dylan,” she said. “We lied to each other for two months. I nearly got you killed. Why would you promise that?”“Because you said you wanted to come back and I said I wanted you to.”“It can’t be that simple. Not anymore.”“It is. For me it is. It’s you and me. That simple. "
13 " The ways she was different from any other woman in my life could not be counted. I didn’t want to say she was sweet, because that seemed to negate all the ways she was fierce. I didn’t want to say she was generous, because it would deny the ways she was selfish.I’d never had a woman in my life show me so much of herself. "
14 " I wanted to show you the truth of me. And…loving you is a part of that. It’s a part of who I am now. "
15 " Change is a choice. It's long and it's slow. "
16 " I’m just…fuck. I’m just so glad you answered that damn phone. "
17 " I’m not letting you go,” I told her. “And it’s selfish and wrong and sooner or later you’re going to wake up and realize that I can’t love you the way you should be loved. Or want to be loved, and it doesn’t matter. "
18 " Good luck, Annie. And not for nothing, you’re better than that guy. You’re better than this.”“You’re wrong,” she said. “He’s the best man I know and I’m just trying to keep up. "
