Quote by Joseph Fink

If you’re not serious, leave him the hell alone.” “And if I am serious?” Sean smiled ruefully. “Then you’re in for the fight of your life.”

“As if drawn to her on a string he closed the door and went to her. In silence he sat on the bed, removed his jacket, managed to pull off his boots. And then he was stretched out beside her. She came to him immediately, curling against his side, warm and soft and her body fitting against his with an aching perfection. As if she belonged there. And as he held her close and listened as her body grew relaxed and her breathing slowed in sleep, he thought for one mad moment that maybe, just maybe, she did.”
