I loved this book!!!

“Open your eyes, sweetheart.” She opens. Her hands go to her mouth. “Will you marry me, Emory? With no expiration date?”

“Red,” I say again. “For my wife. Meant for me. Except.” I pull back to smile down at her. “She’s not my wife anymore.”
Her eyes shut briefly, but I don’t feel sad. Instead, as I get down on one knee, I feel nothing but joy arcing inside me like an electrical storm, like I might burst out of my skin. She did that.

“I love you,” I say softly. “I love you so much, Em. More than I ever thought I could love anyone. You lit a spark for me, but you also created a monster.” I smooth a thumb over her cheek, savoring the way her breath catches, the way her eyes look like the deep heart of a flame, even in the dark.

“Tell me you love me again, Emory.”
Her eyes go soft. “I love you.”
I’m crushing her to me before she finishes the sentence, love for her racing like a lit flame through me, rewriting all the parts of me that ever doubted I could make someone happy.

I love this book.

My fingers trace the note. I meet my own eyes in the mirror, my pupils blown wide, my heart beating so fast that I swear my pulse is visible in my throat. Aiden.
The dress is from Aiden.
Red, for his wife.
Red, to show the world I’m his.

The dress is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever worn.
Red.
The color of the Heir.
Reserved for Aiden and his wife.

“For the last time, there is no future wife.” His mouth is on mine again, his words spoken into the crease of my lips. “For as long as I live, I’ll wish it was you.”

I love him.
It does feel like the most natural thing in the world, just like he said. My heart is in my throat as I watch him rummage through his overnight bag.
I love him. I try the words on for size. I love you.
I imagine saying it to him, and it makes me smile. It makes my whole body shiver.
