1 " For me, the enemy wasn’t Hyde, or even the wonky way my brain worked. The issue was the stigma around mental health and being looked at as somehow different just because I wasn’t wired the same as everyone else. "
― Jay Crownover , Prodigal Son (The Forever Marked, #2)
2 " You scare me sometimes, Remy, but you’re also the one and only person who always makes me feel better about myself. You may be a work in progress for the rest of your life, but who isn’t? "
3 " His vulnerability had always been my weakness, and I knew if he told me he needed me, I was toast. It was the one thing in life I always wanted more than anything: for him to rely on me the way I’d always had complete faith in him.I wanted us to be equal. To be balanced. Because I’d always taken without being able to give back to him. "
4 " I just want the chance to get to know you again. I’ve screwed up a lot of things in my life, and I’m doing my best to make them right. I won’t tell you who to be, Remy. I just want you. "
5 " I don’t know where this attraction and hunger came from since I’d known her most of my life, but whatever Remy awoke in my blood since I’d been back was insatiable, and I couldn’t get enough of her. "
6 " You said I needed to find someone else to hold my hand while I figure out parenting, but the only hand I want to hold is yours. It’s always been that way. "
7 " Sometimes, the timing has to be right to get the things we want. Sometimes you have to work for them, be worthy of them. No one is handed everything they desire on a silver platter all the time. Our wants and needs are allowed to change, grow, and become clearer over time. I may not have known what I wanted or who I was when we were younger, but I do now. You don’t want me to define you by who you used to be. Give the guy standing in front of you a chance to show you who he is and what he has to offer. "
8 " Saying goodbye to you was impossible. That’s why I never did it. "
9 " I’m always going to be a little bit too much and never be easy to handle.”I leaned toward her, hating the big piece of polished wood that separated us. “I never asked for easy. All I asked for you is you. "
10 " I was strong.There might be cracks in my foundation, but the structure had never collapsed. It came close. But I was still standing. "
11 " I love that you put yourself first, Remy. Don’t stop doing that. Not for me or anyone else. I just want you to maybe consider putting me and Hollyn second. We’ll wait patiently while you figure it out. But you have to promise to be as patient with me as I learn how to navigate your heart and mind. The road to the center of you isn’t straight or narrow. "
12 " Hyde and I were bound to have a beautiful but chaotic life together. It was going to be an imperfect masterpiece. "
