Famous Ryan P. Cole Quotes

“Perfect Lina. You have it… Now open your eyes and see yourself as I do.” Opening her eyes, she stared at the enigma before her.” - “Patrick smiled as he watched her, waiting before speaking. “Have you ever seen anything more beautiful?” he asked. In the silence after, the awe she’d heard within his voice lingered in the air. Without words and without his commands, there was nothing she needed other than this. She stayed like that a long time, with her head bowed and unmoving until finally she closed her eyes, feeling utterly at peace. …As he did, simply watching her breathe.”
