1 " All moments matter. We just rarely know how important they are until the chance to act on them has already passed. "

2 " He’d walked into my store and told me he’d give me anything. To name it and it was done. And the only thing I wanted? I wanted him to stay. "
3 " That guy’s out there. Promise you, darlin’. He’s out there looking for you, and one day, he’ll find you. He’ll find you because you deserve him. Don’t you dare settle for anything less than him. You got me? "
4 " You changed everything the day you walked into my life. You are my heart’s second chance. "
5 " You are everything I ever wished I could have. "
6 " God. I wanted him. I wanted him so badly, but sometimes it was the things we wanted the most that would destroy us in the end. "
7 " God…I sound so pathetic. Weak.” His head slowly shook. “Not weak, darlin’. Just broken.” Choked "
8 " But what you haven’t accepted is that the only security we have is how we use the moments we’re given. We waste them or embrace them. We cherish them or we let fear taint them. "
9 " One thing you should never do is mistake broken for weak.” Fuck. "
10 " I’ve always fucking needed you.”She jarred, shocked by my sudden movement, and blinked up at me with those eyes that twisted me in two.I loosened my hold, and my words quieted. “But just because I need you doesn’t mean I get to keep you. "
11 " You owned me from the first day that I met you.”She hooked her arm around my head, her perfect tits pressed to my chest, her body arching, begging for mine. “I had no idea that day that you’d become the focus of my life. The one I longed for. My whole life, all it took was a glance from you, and I knew I was exactly where I was supposed to be. "
12 " Sometimes we get so comfortable behind the protection of our walls, we forget we need to step out from behind them to actually live. "
13 " What if you hurt me?What if I fall in love with you?What if I want you to stay? "
14 " You’re killin’ me, darlin’.”“And you’re saving me. "
15 " I told you I’m not afraid. Why are you? All I’m asking is that you take a chance on me. Life’s not worth living without taking them. "
16 " I don’t understand this, Rynna. The hold you have on me. But when I look at you? I get this feeling that I’m looking at everything right. "
17 " You make me feel again, Rynna. You make me feel like every chance is one worth taking. Like you’re leading me out of the darkness that’s ruled my life. When I close my eyes, who I see is you. Show me the way, Rynna. Show me the way out of it. Fuck. Please, show me the way. "
18 " The problem was? I just…loved him.I did, and I had for too many years, and it hurt too much that he didn’t love me back. "
19 " Bright, blinding light.Motherfucking sunshine.A taste of sweet, sweet lemonade.That’s what Nikki was. Felt myself itching to lean forward and glean some of it. to swim in her calm and her belief.They say sunshine chases away the dark. I swore, all it did was illuminate mine. Amplify why I couldn’t take her. Have her.I was a bastard.A sinner.God knew what I was responsible for.He also knew what I’d be willing to do – vengeance a greed I carried in the palm of my hands.But that girl? She was a sin I’d never again commit. "
20 " He always thought he was the one who needed to stand up and protect me, but it was me who ached to protect him. Shield him and hold him, wishing he’d find that solace in me. "
