31 Quotes by Charlie Novak

I wondered if Hugo was smiling. I hoped he was because he had such a beautiful one. It was one of the things I’d noticed about him the other day – how warm and genuine his smile seemed to be – and for some reason I wanted to see him smiling all the time.

I laughed, even though I hadn’t meant to. It was the first time I’d really voiced my fears and part of me had been expecting him to tell me it would be fine, but this felt so much more genuine. I don’t know why I was surprised. Kit seemed like the sort of person who’d always tell you what he was thinking. I loved that.

I smiled at him, watching him relax. He was so beautiful and unguarded, and it made my stomach feel like it was being tied into knots. What was it about Kit that had me feeling so completely at ease but also more nervous than ever before?

He reached out and pulled me into a hug. I clung to him as he wrapped his arm around me, drawing me into his side. His body was a solid, comforting presence and he smelled faintly of sandalwood and vanilla, two things I’d always adored.

There was a strange warmth burning inside me, and it was a feeling I couldn’t identify. All I knew was that it had something to do with Hugo… and I wanted to keep feeling it for as long as possible.

I’d never known anyone like him, and I was starting to realise my life was brighter with him in it.

He was a sudden ray of sunshine in my grey and cloudy life, lighting up everything around him.

Whatever happens between us, I’ll always be here for you. Even if this doesn’t work and we end up as friends, I promise you I’ll still be here. You’re stuck with me now.

I loved making Kit smile, loved it when I could make him forget his worries and be genuinely happy. I wanted to spend every moment doing that, so that he never felt lonely or unwanted again.
