“Maisie, please.” He’s begging me. His voice is close to breaking. “What do you know?” My eyes grow wet as I prepare to say it. “I know that I repulse you. So much so that you don’t want to be near me.”

GIRL if you only knew!!

“And that’s the kind of man I should be with. A guy who would never hate me. Seems easy in theory, but hard to find in practice.” “Yeah, hard to find.” His voice is quieter than usual.

there’s no way this man hasn’t been in love with her for years

“We could just share the bed,” I offer. “No.” He says it immediately and with more firmness than I expect. I blink at him, eyes wide. “I mean . . . I wanna give you your space. I don’t need a bed.”

GIRL I JUST KNOW he’s uncomfortable touching her bc he’s already in love and doesn’t want to make her feel uncomfortable!!

“To the reader who’s afraid to take chances—you’re worth the risk. I hope you find a love that feels like home with someone who knows you better than you know yourself.”

aww I love this 🥹
