The beginning of this book makes me sick to my stomach every time.

“I played his voice in my mind like it was my favorite record. The memory of his warm baritone was the only thing that provided any comfort in my upper middle class prison.” 😭

“I love you, Mel. For all the days I knew you before, and all the days we’ll have after this.” 😭

I’m sick to my stomach over Jason finding out what’s going on.

The talk to me goose!!

“I don’t care how many years I get with you. The quantity of days we get with those we love is out of our hands. But the quality of those days-that’s up to us.” 😭

“Life has a way of knocking us all around. At some point, arbitrary things like ages stop mattering, and you realize that people wade through deep shit in every season of life. It’s best just to put labels aside and decide whether you’re gonna sit in the mess with them or carry them through it. Sometimes it’s a little of both.”

“No. It’s been a lifetime. We’re just finally getting around to the good part.”
“I think all of it’s been the good part.”
“I’m not looking to upturn your life. I just want to be a part of it.”

“Sometimes love doesn’t have to be complicated and dramatic. Sometimes it’s just two people who realize that they don’t want to live life any other way. Sometimes it’s leaning on each other. Trusting the other one to be strong in a moment of weakness.” 😭

“I’m going to propose to you, Mel. Not today. Not tomorrow. But soon. So, if you don’t want that, I’d suggest you tell me right now. I’m not playing. I’ve wanted you for longer than you know, and I’m not walking away this time.”
“I want that. You. Us. All of it. I’m in.”

I would melt if a man told me I looked “absolutely regal”. 🥹

Not Zoey saying “organ-spasm”

“There are three things I know for certain. You’re it for me. One day, I’m gonna put a ring on your finger, and I’m gonna get you pregnant the first chance I get. I don’t fucking care what order it happens, either.” 😮‍💨

“You are everything I’ve ever wanted, Mel. You’ve got me wrapped around your finger, and you don’t even know it. You walk around without even realizing how goddamn powerful you are. I would follow you on my hands and knees if it meant I got to be with you.” 🥹

Crying that Mel gets to wear his old squadron patch 😭

“Remember that I will always listen to you. Always do everything I can to make you happy. And I promise to always fill your life with adventure.” 😭

Oh Mel is absolutely going to kill Jase and he deserves it.

Love when Austin Hale makes an appearance

“Kissing you is what flying feels like.”

Their kiss 😭

“But something brought me home. Her. She made me want to trade my wings for roots.”

One of the few blonde MMCs I’ll tolerate

“Getting you off was as good for me as it was for you. Just thought I’d let you know since your memory seems to be a little hazy.” 😮‍💨

“Mel was everything to me, and if this was all I ever got of her, it would have to be enough.”

“As much as I had dated over the years, those women paled in comparison to Melissa Jacobsen. She had been it for me as long as I could remember. Maybe now I could finally admit that I had become someone worthy of her.” 😭

The “wreck it for me” 😮‍💨
