Status Updates From The Maid (The Selection, #3.3)

I simply cannot get enough of this series and these characters. How have I never read this before? I am drawing it out because I don't want it to end!

Lucy deserves the world

Pero qué hermoso libro
con lo cortito que es

Valió completamente la pena y me cayó en un momento Justo de mi vida

“I love you, Lucy. You take care of me, I take care of you?”

It wasn’t a promise, but an invitation. And I nodded my head, accepting it, and stepping into a future bigger than either of us could have hoped for.”

“ I could forgive his mistakes, and he would forgive my anger, and tomorrow we would start fresh. Because, really, there was so much time.”

Esto me pego en estos momentos más que nunca 💔

“You’ve made me better. And I want to be better for you. I want to be better with you.”

“You think you walk, Lucy? I think you fly. You see yourself in a uniform? I see you in a cape. You’re a hero, of the quietest but most genuine nature.”

QUE BONITO 🥺🤌🏻🧡

“So that’s the only kind of love I’ve ever understood. When you love someone, you sacrifice. And I refused to let anyone do it for me." I wanted to be the hero. I wanted to do all the giving, all the providing, all the protecting.”

“And you probably have no idea,” he murmured, “you’ve done the same thing for me.”

“We’ve both lost (...) But you haven’t let that crush you. I thought if you could stay strong, then so could I.”

“I’ll hate you forever for breaking my heart,” I promised. “But you know what’s worse?”

“That I’ll love you forever, too. You saved my life. I was caving in on myself, and you stopped that. That’s the worst part.”

He stared, awestruck. “How? How did I save you?”

I shrugged. “Just by being. ”

“His voice was tender, full of our secrets. It implored me not to let go. And I felt all of it. The way he made me laugh and the sensation of his fingers tickling my cheeks. The honey and gravel sound of his voice in my ear and the quick winks he snuck me in the hallways.”
