Destiny

“Just as we cannot force ourselves to love someone, we cannot force ourselves to unlove them, either. Fate can be foolish, and fate can be careless. But fate is always true.”
― Jennifer Hartmann, June First

“I’m hopelessly, irrevocably in love with you, June Bailey. The desperate, aching kind of love. The kind there’s no coming back from. The kind there’s no way out of. The kind that’s going to be the death of me one day. I fall more in love with June than I ever thought possible as we clutch each other in a moonlit graveyard on her eighteenth birthday, with my mother on my mind, and the scent of sweet desserts dancing in the air.”
― Jennifer Hartmann, June First

“A man was speaking, so I stopped listening.”
― Jasmine Mas, Blood of Hercules

“It’s still beating. You’re still okay. And I still love you. — Dean”
― Jennifer Hartmann, Still Beating
