“Because once you’ve felt someone like Gabe choose to hold you, you can’t go back to who you were before. It hits me hard. Not that I want him—I already know that. What staggers me is how much I want with him. The longing I feel in my heart is more than attraction, more than wanting his body. It’s deeper, heavier. I want his laugh, unguarded and unashamed. I want to know which tea he makes when he can’t sleep. I want to trace the scar on his cheekbone with my thumb and kiss it until he believes it only makes him more beautiful. I want to protect him—not because he’s fragile. He isn’t. He’s so fucking strong. But because he’s rare. Precious. And I don’t know how to want anything less with him.”
