This is ALREADY sounding like my new FAV thing ever

"I wasn't interested. Not in trading my hard-won independence for the quiet erasure of becoming someone’s wife. I had no desire to melt into the shadow of a man whose approval granted me existence. I’d watched my mother do that, watched her brilliance dull to a polite shimmer and decided early I’d rather be alone than invisible."

For a long time, there was nothing but the sound of our breathing. Then he started to mumble in Arabic—low verses of Quran that vibrated through his chest, into me. His other hand drifted, skimming down my neck, my collarbone, the curve of my shoulder.

"You told me you weren’t interested in love,” he murmured, half a smile ghosting across his face through the dim light. “But I don’t think that’s true. You’re like those sunsets you’re always chasing. How can something that beautiful and radiant not want to be loved?”

"I'm sorry that I come across as emotionally unavailable,” he continued, voice hoarse. “The emotion is there, it consumes every part of me, it’s just clogged. I don’t know how to let it out without drowning in it. I’m sorry I can’t be more, can’t give you more, but if I were capable of being that for anyone...."
“I think I would choose that person to be you. I’d want it to be you, Lillian.”

"You’re a healer,” he whispered, brushing a strand of hair from my cheek. “You’re a helper. You’re the light people see when they’re surrounded by darkness, when they think it’s all over. And I know that because...you’re my light, Lillian. So I need you to believe me, okay? I need you to believe that this wasn’t your fault.”

"Anyone can run from their emotions that’s the easy way out. But staying, feeling everything, letting it crack you open and rebuild you? That’s strength.” He took a breath, as if steadying himself for the truth. "That’s how I know you’ll get through this. You won’t let it break you the way it broke me. You’ll take this sadness, this pain, and use it to make yourself an even better doctor."

"You’re the opposite in every way, but most importantly in how brave you are, how you walk straight into fire, like the flames have better luck fearing you than you fearing them. You wear your heart on your sleeve, and I know you think that’s your fatal flaw, but it isn’t. It’s your greatest gift."

"Words would have ruined it. Everything that mattered lived in the silence, in the breath that left him, uneven, like he was trying not to feel too much and failing. For the first time since we’d signed the marriage papers, I stopped pretending I didn’t want to be touched by him. And when he finally sighed into the crook of my neck, something in my chest loosened so completely it almost hurt." ♥️🥺
