“This was the sort of thing I’d always dreamed of. I’d never been surrounded by people who made me feel loved in the silence.”
“I’m sorry I came into this such a mess.” “Honestly, you’re shockingly normal for the amount of bullshit you’ve been through,” Nathan told me, a teasing smile on his lips. “Plus, I’m a lifelong mess, and you still think I’m cute, right?” He coaxed a small laugh out of me. “Definitely.”
“I think it’s very easy to twist ourselves up into knots thinking about what’s fate and what’s not.” Leo tipped my chin up for another kiss. “What’s most important now is that we’re building a life together. We can figure out how to make everyone happy.”
“But I also intended to give her passion, frivolity, and joys she’d watched others have without getting to experience them herself. I didn’t have a history with her like Jude did. I didn’t have wealth like Alve did to throw money at her problems. I didn’t have Nathan’s sheer intensity to power through obstacles in creative—and sometimes concerning—ways. But I was her bondmate. I was steady and I wanted to build a life with her. When the dust finally settled, I would be a soft place for her to land.”
“My beta. My Jude. He pulsed like the coziest campfire at the center of my being.”
“I promise if you let the armor fall, we’re going to love every vulnerable bit underneath.”
“Alve kissed me like he’d been waiting his whole life for this moment, and I felt the truth of everything he’d said.”
