Chapter 75 🪦😭😭

Not again 😔…. Grayson can’t win at anything in life….

Chapter 64 is THE chapter!!! 🤭😍

“He swallowed. ‘I’m fine.’ ‘Where have I heard that before?’ Lyra replied. He was the one who had told her that she didn’t have to be fine. He had told her that the cost of being fine when you weren’t was too high. ‘Maybe some of us,’ Lyra told him, ‘need to break to be whole.’….’You understand,’ he said quietly, ‘why I am forever pulling you back from cliffs.’”

“‘Are you going to be okay?’ In his lifetime, Grayson had been asked that question so infrequently, if at all. He’d cultivated an image of invulnerability. Okay was not a thing to which Hawthornes aspired- especially him.”

“On some level, Grayson knew that he had no right, but he also knew that he would not survive anything happening to her- not after everything else he’d lost, not when she might be his Libby, not when the reality of Lyra Kane was more than he could have dreamed when he’d thought, day after day, about a girl who’d called him on the phone.”

“And with each breath they took together, Grayson saw the faces of the ones he’d failed before. The first girl he’d ever cared for, face down on the shore, dead. Avery, bleeding and unconscious on the pavement. The world on fire…Grayson hadn’t even been able to run to her. For so long, he hadn’t been able to run toward anyone or anything. Emily, dead. Avery, bleeding. But Lyra was here…Lyra was fine.”
