“I unfold my notes and arrange them in order on my leg. I’ve read them under my breath a hundred times in the last couple of days to make sure I can say them aloud when the time comes. It starts with one clear sentence at the top, then breaks down into a flow chart of all the ways I thought the conversation might go and how I could answer. My heart’s pounding hard enough to make me feel dizzy, but I wrap my hand around the base of my throat like it’s the weight of my collar and dial the number I scrawled at the bottom of my notes.”
― Riley Nash, Bad Dogs

“The truth was, the years between us mattered. Not—as I had thought—because of how other people would judge, but because while some of the bridges between us were instinctive and effortless, love and sex and faith, others had to be carefully built. And I’d failed not just to build them, but to notice they were needed.”
― Alexis Hall, For Real

“From the first moment you saw me, right?”
“It seems unlikely, darling. You were far too young and very rude.”
“Must have been my magnificent grounds at Pemberley, then.”
― Alexis Hall, For Real

“I know you want me to be happy. But I’ll never be happy without you. All I want is you. Any other omega, no matter how beautiful, young, and fertile, would always fall short for me. It wouldn’t be fair to them.”
