“Knew the moment I saw you, standin’ outside the shop, scared, that you were an innocent little thing. So sweet. So good.” He lowered his head to take my chin between his teeth. “You got no idea what it’s like for you to give me your trust, Ritz. If I was a good man I’d tell you to find somebody better, somebody that won’t lose their shit over an asshole eye fuckin’ you.” His tongue traced the oval shape of my chin. “But I’m not a good man, and I’m gonna take everythin’ you want to give me and everythin’ you don’t.”

“You’ve gotta be the best thing I never knew I wanted.”
― Mariana Zapata, Under Locke

“There was a lot of things about love that you could only learn after you’d faced the real kind. The best kind wasn’t this soft, sweet thing of hearts and picnics. It wasn’t flowery and divine. Real love was gritty. The real kind of love never quit. Someone who loved you would do what’s best for you; they’d stand up for you and sacrifice. Someone who loved you would face any inconvenience willingly. You didn’t know what love was until someone was willing to give up what they loved the most for you. But it was also never letting them make that choice, either.”
― Mariana Zapata, Wait for It

And sometimes, sometimes, you could grow something beautiful from the ashes that were left behind. If you were lucky.”
― Mariana Zapata, Wait for It

― Brittainy C. Cherry, The Fire Between High & Lo

“I used to wonder how one knew they were falling in love. What were the signs? The clues? Did it take time or was it one full sweep? Did a person wake one morning, drink their coffee, and then stare at the person sitting across from them and surrender completely to the free fall? But now I knew. A person didn’t fall in love. They dissolved into it. One day you were ice, the next day, a puddle.”
― Brittainy C. Cherry

― Mariana Zapata, Wait for It

“I’m still in love with you,” he repeated walking closer to me. “I’ve tried to stop it. I tried to ignore it.
I tried to wish it away, but it won’t leave. Whenever you’re near me, I want you closer. Whenever you
laugh, I want the sound to never fade. Whenever you’re sad, I want to kiss your tears away. I know all of
the reasons that I shouldn’t want to be with you. I know that I can never be forgiven for what happened all
those years ago, but I also know that I still love you. You’re still the fire that keeps me warm when life
becomes cold. You’re still the voice that keeps the darkness at bay. You’re still the reason my heart beats.
You’re still the air in my lungs. You’re still my greatest high. And I am still truly, madly, painfully in love
with you. And I don’t think I’ll ever know how to stop.”
― Brittainy C. Cherry, The Fire Between High & Lo

“For a moment we were us again. For a moment she was the fire that kept my cold heart warm at night. For a moment she was my savior. My safe haven. My bright, beautiful High. But”
― Brittainy C. Cherry, The Fire Between High & Lo

“There’s so much wonder in the world, but instead of giving a damn, and taking the time to come to the realization that we are all very, very, small in a very, very miniature place, we like to pretend we are the alphas of the whole universe. We like to make ourselves feel big. And we each like to make our way seem like the best way, and our hurts seem like the biggest hurts, when really, we are nothing more than a tiny burning dot that makes up a part of the giant sky. A tiny dot that no one would even notice was missing. A tiny dot, that will soon enough be replaced by another speck which thinks it’s more important than it actually is. I just wish people would sometimes stop fighting about stupid mundane things like race, sexual orientation, and reality television. I wish they would remember how small they are and take five minutes a day to look up to the sky and breathe.” “Logan?”
― Brittainy C. Cherry, The Fire Between High & Lo
