First everything.
“I love you,” I whispered.
Those eyes.
This smile.
That face.
My little finger curled around his, over my big belly. “Pinky promise? One last time?”
His pinky tightened around mine. “There’s no one last time. We’re forever, Baby.”
Awwwwwww 🥹🥹🥹

Epilogue :seven years later

Three boys :Logan , Brad and Levi and another baby on the way

And I was thrown back six years ago.
This was the girl I bumped into at the coffee shop of Berkshire’s Academy.
She spilled her cold latte on me and then mouthed off to me. Fierce and sassy.
The beginning.
And the end.

They’re getting married 🥹🥹🥹🥂🥂

“dare you to be my wife, Lila.”
I couldn’t even formulate an answer. My eyes went back to my left hand. When did he slip a ring onto my finger?
“When I kissed you,” he said, without me having to ask the question out loud.
“You didn’t ask!”
“I just did.”
“Oh my God! Maddox!”
“I dare you.”
The ring was a simple, princess-cut diamond. Nothing too heavy, nothing too fancy. Just perfect.

“I love you.”
This was my first time saying it out loud. But Maddox already knew that… without me having to say those words.
He chuckled. “I know.”
I tweaked his nipple. “Say it back.”
“I love you, my beautiful, absolutely insane, little dragon.”
Oh, these butterflies.
“My Lila,” he rasped in my ear.
Always his.
Forever his”

Awwww

“You were always with me.”
Maddox brushed his finger over our dreamcatcher across my neck. “I had this in my pocket all the time, so you were always with me, Lila. Whenever it all felt too much, I’d reach inside my pocket and feel the necklace.Even though I had been so angry with you, this dreamcatcher still brough me… peace.”
“I never left you,”
“No never did. You were always right fucking here.”

He knew the baby wasn’t his ! He was helping Sabrina get away from her strict parents

Okay Maddox being good

Maddox Coulter was my hell and my haven.
He killed me.
I killed him.
We were the cure and the plague.
The poison and the antidote.

The fantasy okayyyyy

“There was an unreadable expression on his face. A flash of pain echoed in his eyes, before it was gone. I whimpered, as he curled a finger around my necklace.
Our dreamcatcher.
Snap.
My eyes widened, and I choked back a gasp. A single tear slid down my cheek, as he snapped the necklace away from my neck, holding it up between us.
“I’ll be taking this back”

What the actual fuck ??

“I’m self-destructing every time I look at you, every time my eyes seek you out when we’re in the same room. You make destruction and melancholy taste like sweet, sweet fucking poison.”
His minty breath whispered across my lips, a tempting touch, but our lips didn’t meet.
“It hurts because you’re not mine. It hurts because we could have been good together, but you decided to give up on us.”
