“Speaking of vows, I’m really glad that ‘till death do us part’ part was a lie.”
“Me too. When we get married again, we’re leaving that part out.”

‘When we get married AGAIN’?? Ugh. CUTE. I’m so conflicted about this book.

Addition to my to do list: get finger-fucked during a lightning storm, so the flashes of my body are all he sees.

“…you’re wrapped in my heart. You’re threaded under my skin. I don’t ever want anyone else and I don’t want to be friends. I just want you. I want to hold you, kiss you, make art with you, talk to you for hours, say nothing with you for hours, see you smile, wipe your tears, and live and die loving you.”

As far as love confessions go? 10/10. I’m so sad the book was ruined though. 😔

“No one ever really leaves me. They all stay. My tragic, beautiful, lingering ghosts.”

“His deep, emotional voice has the energy of a storm. Dark, rumbling, intriguing. It makes me want to run to him barefoot in the rain.”

“Do you want me to fuck you with my mouth, little darlin’?”
I need to be sedated.

“The night sky is like black velvet and glitter.” 🥹✨

“You have the universe’s permission to be happy.” 😭😭😭

He picked a flower for her to save in her memory box!!!! He tucked it behind her ear!!!! I’m going to lose it.

Still can’t get over that a character in this book has complete heterochromia. Coolest fucking thing ever. And the MMC loves eyes! I’ve picked some great reads lately. 👀
