Kindle Notes & Highlights
Caretaking is just a bandage on loneliness, because when they’re done needing ye, the hole they leave behind is sometimes bigger than what ye had to begin with.�
“Love is mysterious, but it is also intentional. When we choose to love, we can love through thick and thin, pain and joy, in sickness and in health, and even across time.�
“When I say love is intentional, that’s exactly what I mean. No matter what had changed or who we’d become in the times between my visits, I looked forward to relearning his laugh, his smile, the way he looked at me, the scent of his skin, and all the things, big and small, that had become part of him. There were times it was uncomfortable, and other times when it felt just like pulling on warm socks over cold feet, but it became as much a part of our routine as morning tea or holding hands had been when we were together every day.�
“I’ve been thinkin� of love like it’s a magic spell that might find me and someone else and weave us together, if we’re lucky. Like it’s some mix of mystery and alchemy sprinkled with pixie dust that left me breathless and tongue-tied and unsure of my own name.� I chuckled and shook my head at myself. “It makes no sense, because I’ve seen Saira and Archer work through all the bits and pieces and pains of lovin� each other, but I ‘adn’t really considered that I didn’t ‘ave to leave it to magic and chance. If I wanted it, and she wanted it, we could write our own love story.�
owning the truth is powerful, and the only discovery that should be feared is the discovery of lies.�
