1 " Because I know. I know he won’t ever forgive me or trust me, so he won’t ever love me the way he did before. It’s that simple. "
― Emma Hart , Dirty Secret (The Burke Brothers, #1)
2 " Truth is, I can’t believe her when she says she loves me. If she left once, she can leave again. If she can lie to me once, she can lie again. There’s the bottom line—I love her but I don’t trust her. I don’t trust her not to run and take Mila with her. "
3 " I feel guilty for being an asshole to her, yet I have no reason whatsoever to be nice to her for even a second. That’s the thing about being the guy who was always nice to the girl. Even when a good dose of dickhead is warranted, that guilt sneaks in, ready to tear you apart. Ironic, given how she tore me apart. "
4 " His being here tonight proved wrong everything I’ve lived thinking since I left. "
5 " Because me and Conner? We don’t matter. We’re not important. Only Mila is. "
6 " He deserves to be angry with me. He has every right in the damn world to hate me with everything he has. He should hate me. "
7 " Drive my car home, will you? I’m not leaving this house until I’m dragged out by the fuckin’ cops. "
8 " My eyes sting with wetness. She knows me. She actually fucking knows me. "
