It’s strange- how love can form from the most fucked-up of circumstances.Everyone has a favorite character when it comes to Jay’s books. I have a 3-way tie. Logan, Josh and now… NATE. Nate is so different from any of her other heroes, but he was intriguing and I can’t imagine someone reading this book and not loving this man. There was something about him that was so imperfectly perfect. I couldn’t get enough. And then there was Bailey, she was great too ;)
“I feel your pain. I live your fear.”
“Bailey had become my drug. My addiction. My escape. My salvation. My curious fascination turned obsessive infatuation.”
“…a calm washed over me… the kind I suspected junkies got after taking a hit. Was Nate my drug? My addiction?”
“I gave her what she needed. I inhaled her cries and let them consume me, I tasted her tears and let them destroy me, I gave in to her pleas and let them control me, and then she did the same with me.”
"We both wanted to matter. And we both needed to be saved."
"It’s that the problem with “simple” was LOVE. And within the walls of this room, with the bonds that kept us together, neither simple nor love could exist."
"I guess some things are greater than the fears we hold on to."
"I protect you because you're my boss, Nate. I kill for you because you're my family."
"We all need saving at some point, and I'm here to save you."
Rejection leads to an act of kindness which is followed by a boom that leads to four walls in a room, the counting of tile and a collection of leaves.
She's trapped
..in the chaos
.....of the silence
“We all need saving at some point, and I’m here to save you.”
“I feel your pain. I live your fear.”
“And while the chaos could kill us, the calm had us aching for one more second, one more moment of self-destruction.”
“Bailey had become my drug. My addiction. My escape. My salvation. My curious fascination turned obsessive infatuation.”
“But I wish you’d pulled the trigger.”
“…you allow me to be me, you love me for me. I know you think I saved your life, but the truth is, you saved mine.”
