1 " They’re your children, Izzy. Yours. A part of you. How could I not love them both? "
― A.L. Jackson , Pieces of Us (Confessions of the Heart, #3)
2 " She’d been my beginning. The girl had breathed her beauty and grace and goodness into my being. Made me think I could be something better. Saw me in a way I’d never seen myself.In the same way, she’d been my ending.My collision.The breaking point of who I’d been and who I’d come to be. "
3 " Our destinies had always felt dependent on the other, thought I’d never imagined it’d twist our paths up quite like this.We had come alive in the other. A million mismatched pieces strewn between us that had magically fit. "
4 " Never expected you not to move on with your life. It’s what I’d hoped you’d do. Find something better. But I’d be a liar if I said I’m not fucking thrilled that you’re back. "
5 " You hurt me, Maxon. You hurt me somethin’ fierce. I’m not sure I can handle that kind of hurtin’ again.”Then she left me there, my fists clenched at my side, a silent promise on my tongue. She was mine. And I’d never let a fucking thing hurt her again. "
6 " There’s never been a single day in my life when I didn’t want you. We are endless. "
7 " You think I was ever fine for a second without you?” That my heart ever beat right? That my spirit was ever at peace?” He edged even closer. “Not for a second, Little Bird. Can’t fly without you by my side. "
8 " I want you. Want you more than anything I’ve ever wanted before … Want a family.”His throat bobbed with turmoil. “A family, Izzy Baby. Never had one before. And the only person I have wanted that with is you. "
9 " I loved you, Maxon. I loved you with every part of me. With every breath. With every heartbeat. I did since I was a little girl. And you shattered that in a way I don’t know can ever be repaired. "
10 " Loving you was the only truth I knew … The only thing I ever did right. The only thing that has ever been real. "
11 " I don’t want to go on living this life without you in it … Don’t want to spend one more day without you by my side. One more night without you lying next to me. Let’s love again, Little Bird. Love me the way I love you. And I promise, I will never let you go. "
