“I heard my name." Ash's voice startles me. "You tow better not be making fun of me about this stupid bra Mama's making me wear. I've had it with the jokes. I'll break both your noses if it doesn't stop.”

“Saying things like that to me makes this so damn hard. I'll always be here for you. But don't tell me you need me.”

“But I don't fit. Your family hates me. I make your life difficult."That's where she was wrong. "No, You're my family. And as for making my life difficult, you, Blaire Wynn, make my life complete.”

“I can't do this Ash. It's killing me. Having you this close and not touching you is driving me insane. You're his Ash. You're his. You made your choice and I understand why you chose him. I don't hold it against you but dammit Ash it hurts”

“A small laugh startled me and I looked over to see her actually smiling. Making her do that more often was a new goal.”

“I love you. I love you so damn much it consumes me. I don't deserve you, but I'm gonna become the man who does deserve you. I promise you. I'll make you proud of me.”

“He stopped and looked back at me "I love you too Pagan. I'll miss you. In every life.”
