1 " You took my heart when you left,” I whispered.He took a slow step forward, his confession cracking in the air. “And I left mine with you. "
― A.L. Jackson , More of You (Confessions of the Heart, #1)
2 " I’m terrified of you hurtin’ me all over again,” I whispered. “I can’t take any more.”Flinching, his eyes dropped closed. “I don’t want to hurt you, Faith. Never. I never wanted to. I’d give anything to stop that from happening again. "
3 " I don’t want to live in the past. Not anymore.” His voice was sharp. Jagged and harsh.”My words were a wisp. “And I’m not sure how to move on from it. "
4 " You were the only good thing I had in my life, Faith. You were the one who made me see it when the only thing I could see was the dark. My light in the dark. You made me believe in it. "
5 " This girl could bring me to her feet, but I’d always stand for her. "
6 " I always believed in us. "
7 " I know you hate me, Faith. You have every right to. You should hate me every bit as much as I hate myself, but that doesn’t change the fact that I’m here. That I’m going to take care of you. Protect you. Whatever it takes. "
8 " I wasn’t equipped to handle this.What I felt and what she was going through.The impact of her grief and my regret colliding might send the rest of the house crashing to the ground. "
9 " I tried to stay away. But I couldn’t. Not knowing what’s happening. Not knowing what you’ve been through. "
10 " Love’s not about right or wrong, just like grief isn’t about counting days. Love is about being given a gift. Sometimes when we least expect it. Usually when we need it most. "
11 " You can’t be watchin’ out for me all the time.”He pushed from the counter. “You sure about that? "
12 " Do you think I could ever forget a single moment with you? Not ever. Not for a second. You were the only good thing I ever had. "
13 " You always taught me to look out for myself and no one else. But that girl right there? She’s the only one who ever made you think changing that belief might be worth it. "
14 " It’s time to go after what you want. It’s what we do. We fight for what we want. You walked away once. Don’t make the mistake of doing it again. "
15 " My world about to change. For the better or worse, I couldn’t be sure.All I knew was this man stripped me bare. Peeling back the hurt to expose all the love that’d been left there.My lips parted, and I inhaled, and God, I was such a fool. "
16 " I never stopped loving you. Not for a second. Not for a day. Because you’ve consumed every one of my goddamned thoughts since the second I left. "
17 " If I was too deep, then I'd gladly drown. "
18 " It was fucking alive.The air and the energy and the feeling.The connection.The truest thing I’d ever had. "
19 " It was the wounds inflicted that couldn't be seen that always scarred the worst. "
