1 " Logan had been there earlier and refused to leave, but Mason made him go. He wanted alone time with me when I woke. He said he pulled Boyfriend Rank. It would've been nice to see Logan, but I understood. "

2 " I get to see her at night.""No deal.""That's the only deal. I sleep over.""She's my daughter.""She's the love of my life". My heart was pumping so damn fast I needed to see her. David was searching my eyes.I let him see the truth. I needed her. That was the only way."Fine, but only you. Logan can't start sleeping over, too.""He'll try."David groaned. "You two, you just storm your way in-""We're family to her. We took her in when you let her go. We protected her from that woman. "
3 " They grow them like that nowadays? Sign me up to be a cougar. "
4 " A streak of bare flesh darted past our door.Mason grinned at me. "It's like we didn't even miss Fisher's party tonight."My nurse sprinted past our door, followed by another two. "
5 " The bed dipped under his weight. He paused with one foot before shaking his head and mumbling, "I'm not going to be able to sleep. I'm going to be so damn scared that I'll hurt you."It didn't matter. None of it mattered. When he shifted to his side and then reached for my hand, I closed my eyes. I could sleep now. Everything would work out. Our hands where tucked between us on the bed. I clung to his, while he seemed scared to hold mine back. That didn't matter either. I just needed to be held, a mere touch from him. "
6 " You two are like a married couple."Uh...I pointed to my head. "Heavy meds here. Say that again."She rolled her eyes. "You heard me just fine. So did you," she threw to Mason. "
7 " Of course Mason and Logan followed me where I went. "
8 " He took a deep breath. I don't know what I'm supposed to do here. I don't know if I'm supposed to distract you. If I'm supposed to make you laugh, or if I'm supposed to be reassuring you. I have no idea what to do, so all I'm doing is just being here. "
9 " Fuck this," Logan bit out before he shoved past the older Strattan. He started down the hallway and I went right after him. We weren't getting answers, not the ones we wanted. We'd find her ourselves. "
10 " Sometimes family hurts you more than they could ever love you. "
11 " Money is just padding. It can be used to shelter you from some things, but there’s no sheltering from other things like love and kindness. Money has no effect on the real stuff. "
12 " You’re like a mosquito that won’t die. Back up or I’ll swat you down. "
13 " She had no idea just how rare she was. "
14 " She’s the love of my life.” My heart was pumping so damn fast. I needed to see her. "
15 " They love you for the same reasons they don't love anyone else. "
16 " She said I wasn’t broken at all. "
17 " A growl came from the back of my throat. I looked like shit. I felt like shit. I wasn't ready to deal with her shit. "
18 " Sometimes family hurts you more than they could ever love you. That’s a truth a lot of people don’t want to hear, but sometimes people get the opposite. They get the families that love you more than they could ever hurt you. Those people are the luckiest in the world. You know what pisses me off? Is that they probably don’t even know it. They don’t know how lucky they are, but, Sam, you’re one of them. "
19 " If Mark wasn't a cool guy, and if your dad hadn't got there first, I'd bang Mark's mom. "
20 " Malinda moved so we were eye-level. "Forget the people who've hurt you. You don't have them anymore, but you have two others that'll do anything to you. Mason and Logan would move mountains for you. I see how you are with them. You love them, but you're scared to let yourself be happy. Why? Because that's when they'll leave? Is that what you think? You've got it all wrong. Those two will never leave you." She tapped my chest. Once. Twice. "You. You're the one that's going to hurt them. You have that power, and you don't know it. You could rip those two apart in a second, and they're the ones who are scared of you. Not the other way around. You need to recognize the real situation. "
