1 " I don’t care if there are pieces of you that are damaged. I don’t care if every inch of you is scarred. Believe me, there are parts of me that are so fucking mangled it would take a miracle to straighten them. It’s not about perfection or being whole—it’s you being you.”Ellie looks away, tucking her hair behind her ear. “You say these things, and I have to stop myself from falling.”“If you fall, I’ll catch you. "

2 " She’s been mine this whole time, and now I have to wait until she’s ready for me - again. "
3 " I don’t know that any of us get back to the life we thought we had after tragedy strikes. Someone or something rips it away, and we’re left drifting.”His eyes watch mine with an intensity that makes my stomach clench. “Are you still drifting, Ellie?”I shake my head. “No, I don’t think I am.”“Why not?”“Because you won’t let me. "
4 " I don’t deserve you.”His thumb lifts my chin so our gazes lock once more. “It’s me who doesn’t deserve you, Angel, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to give you up. "
5 " I have thought about you since that night we met. I’ve wanted you, craved you, loved you in some way for eight years. The only thing that this will change is that the family I thought I would never have is now in front of me. The woman I thought I might have conjured up is still real and we still have a chance to have something. Maybe something will change, but the way I feel about us and what we’re doing won’t. "
6 " I can wait. I will wait. I’ll wait forever. "
7 " Can I hold you?" I ask, prepared for whatever answer will come.Her eyes lift slowly, reminding me of a wounded animal. I hate that anyone did this to her. I want to slice that man apart for ever making her fear anything. She should've been loved, protected, and cherished."Will you?"I'll fucking do anything for her. "
8 " Her smile makes my heart flip over in my chest. I want her to look at me like this each day. I want to be the man who makes my angel look like she could fly. Her wings may have been broken years ago, but I'm really good at restoring things. "
9 " I don't deserve you."I release a deep breath and nestle in closer. "I deserve you. Take me home.""I'll take you anywhere, as long as I'm beside you. "
