Autumn Review

“I’m going to walk over to you,” I say, taking one step at a time in her direction like I’m talking down a jumper. “I’m going to put my arms around you and I’m going to hold you,” I pause before taking the last step, “and you’re going to let me.”

“I don’t want to give you details. Let’s just say, you don’t have space in your life right now for a man like me.” He slowly exhales. “But you already know who I am in here, don’t you?” He presses my hand to his heart.”

“I want your babies, and your anger, and your cold blue eyes … “ I choke on my words and I am the
one to look away. I bring my gaze back to her face and realize that if I can’t convince her now, I’m
never going to be able to. “I want to go on anniversary dinners with you, I want to wrap Christmas
presents with you. I want to fight with you about stupid things and then hold you down in my bed and
make it up to you. I want to have more cake batter fights and camping trips. I want your future, Olivia.
Please come back to me.”

“When my mouth meets hers, I swear that from that second on, she has me. You always hear people talk about how there are moments in your life when you just know that things will never be the same. I always thought that was all horseshit. But here, now, with the feeling of her soft, incredible lips moving with mine, I know that it happens.”
― Steph Campbell, Grounding Quinn
