1 " For so long, I was not the guy people trusted.I needed to be that guy for her. "
― Samantha Young , Be With Me (Adair Family #4)
2 " Disappointment churned in my gut, and I did my best to keep that emotion off my face. How could I possibly agree to that when I wanted more? Fuck, I might as well as Ery to plunge a knife into my heart, right? Because there was no way I could come out of this unscathed. "
3 " She was certain she didn’t want to be in a relationship.And I was certain that I did. With her. Only her. I wanted her to be with me, not just for one night. I didn’t know if anything serious would come of us dating – I only knew I wanted to try. "
4 " Do you know how long I’ve wanted this?” he asked hoarsely. “Fantasized about having you in my arms like this? It’s fucking haunted me, Ery. And yet no fantasy could stand up to the reality of you. I need you. "
5 " I marvelled at how safe I felt with him. I was more vulnerable than a person could be, and yet with him, I felt not just protected but … free. "
6 " I want more. I want a relationship with you, but you won’t give me that And I don’t want to hide what I feel from you, let alone anyone else. I have real feelings for you, Eredine. This isn’t just sex.” He ran a hand through his hair and let out a huff of sad laughter. “If I’m honest, it never was. "
7 " Maybe this new you is broken, but we’re all a little broken. I just need you to be you. I’m not going anywhere. "
8 " Sometimes I can’t believe you want to be here with me. You’re something out of a dream. "
9 " You’ve been an Adair for years. I’m just the one lucky enough to make it official. "
10 " I want you to have all the things. You deserve all the things. "
11 " Men can be stupid when it comes to women. "
12 " No one can make promises going into a relationship, Ery. It's a gamble everyone takes, not knowing if or when it will end. How much it'll hurt. But it's a risk worth taking when you feel this way. "
13 " When you know, you know. And there is no point wasting time. "
14 " It's really hard to make yourself vulnerable to someone, isn't it? To have them know that their mood affects yours, their actions determine your day, their nearness affects your contentment. So much power to give to one person. In the wrong hands, they could play you until you're broken. But we're all a wee bit broken, anyway, so maybe it's worth the risk. Who knows? The right person might even heal some of the cracks. "
15 " ... be grateful for the blessings we had and not to mope over the things we didn't. "
16 " Baggage. Everyone comes into a relationship with it. "
