Where You'll Land (Where You'll Land #1) QUOTES

1 " Love was feeling the person everywhere, under your skin, in every strand of your hair, in your heart, in your bones, in the tone of your voice when you said their name.

Even if you weren’t ever going to be together, he was the air you breathed, invisible but everywhere. "
