And now I’m humming Toni Braxton. Fuck you, Donovan O’Neil.

When I say you just know, it’s because you will. You won’t question it. You don’t wonder if what you feel is actually love, because when it is, you’ll be absolutely terrified that you’re in it. And when that happens, your priorities will change. You won’t think about yourself and your own happiness. You’ll only think about that person, and how you would do anything to see them happy. Even if it meant walking away from them and sacrificing your own happiness for theirs.

I don’t know why it feels like I’m breaking the law when all I’m doing is sitting down for a meal.

Most of me believed she wouldn't show up today, but a small part of me still held out hope. I can't say that her choice has broken my heart, because that would mean my heart was still whole to be broken.

Ian smirks. “Wow. My brother is in love with you.”I can feel Fallon freeze against me.“That’s not awkward at all,” I say sarcastically.Ian shakes his head with a sly grin. “It’s not awkward, Ben. It’s cute. You’re in love.

If you don’t show up today, I’ll be there next year. And the next. Every November 9th I’ll wait for you, hoping one day you’ll be able to find enough forgiveness to love me again. But if that doesn’t happen and you never show, I’ll still be grateful to you until the day that I die. You saved me the day we met.

But for the first time, I don’t feel like the English language has developed enough letters in the alphabet to adequately express the words I want to say to you.

I wrap my arms around her and pull her against me and when I feel her arms go around me, I do the most non-alpha thing I can possibly do. I cry like a fucking baby.

All I care about is you. Being with you every day. Seeing you every day. I’m not finished falling in love with you yet.
