“I didn’t miss my other eye often. But when I did, it was because it took me twice as long to watch every atom of my wife’s existence every night. To count each of her thirty-three beauty spots—yes, including the one behind her ear. Her fourteen freckles, all of them peppered across her celestial nose. All the twenty shades of yellow and silver in her hair.”
I have no words

He found his reason to live no stop guys I’m going to bawl my eyes out

She didn’t want to put her shoes in a puddle so he took his peacoat and lay it down on the puddle so she could walk on it STOP THIS MAN IS SUCH A SIMP and proceeded to clean off her shoes on his knees before her IN FRONT OF EVERYONE STOP someone needs to put me in a cage because I’m going feral

“Lila made people around her feel seen. Probably because she’d been overlooked her entire life.”

‘I would never hurt you like that. Even if I wanted to. Even if you begged me to. Even if you cheated on me. Even if you killed me. Protecting you is a compulsion at this point. I’d stop the night from falling if darkness scares you, Lila.’
THAT LAST PHRASE OMG he’s such a yearner and a pathetic one also I love this
