Цитаты из книги Арчер будет молчать

You’re my everything, Bree.

I leaned up and looked at his face in the semidarkness. How was it that he looked happy and sad at the same time? “You’re mine, too, Archer,” I said. “Everything.”

“And now,” I said dreamily, drifting toward sleep, “when a thunderstorm comes, I’ll think of you, not anything other than you.”

The smile he greeted me with each day made me feel treasured as I ran into his arms, feeling in my head and my heart that I was finally home.

Not the place, but his arms. Archer’s arms were my home—the only place I wanted to be, the place where I felt safe. The place where I felt loved.

It was as if my body was his instrument and he learned to play it so perfectly that the melody vibrated within my very soul. Not only because of the pleasure he brought, but because he cared so much to know every little thing about me.

And then we both stopped laughing as I laid my head on his chest and lived right there in that moment, thankful for the air in my lungs and the sunshine on my back, and the beautiful man in my arms. And his hands made letters on my skin, and after a few minutes, I realized that he was spelling, My Bree…My Bree…again and again and again.

I was a total lost cause when it came to Archer Hale.

He hadn’t told me he loved me, and I hadn’t said it to him, either. But in that moment, I realized I was in love with him. So deeply in love that it almost bubbled to the surface of my lips, and I had to physically clamp my mouth shut not to shout it.

Inside, it was my deepest hope that my love would be enough to heal his wounded heart.

He made me feel more alive than I’d ever felt in all my life.

I laughed slightly to myself—feeling drunk from half a glass of Merlot. Drunk on him, on this night, on fate, on bravery, on life.

Oh God, to be touched like this…it was far too much and somehow not nearly enough at all.

I wanted to describe all the ways I desired her by using my fingers to write the thoughts on her skin.

And the questions in her eyes made me feel even more afraid. I didn’t have any answers. All I had were a million questions of my own.

It’s like, the second I saw him, my life started. The second I started loving him, everything clicked into place for me. As confusing as our situation is, inside it feels like it all makes the most perfect sense.

And I was going to try to wait until maybe you were ready to say it, too, but…I can’t. Because it literally wants to burst out of me all the time. And so it’s okay if you don’t love me, or if you’re not sure if you do. But I’m sure. And I can’t stand letting another minute go by where I don’t tell you I love you, because I do. I. Love. You. I love you so much.

His eyes opened and they roamed my face for several beats, his expression almost reverent, before he said, I’m in love with you, too. He let out a breath. I am so desperately in love with you.

He ran his nose over my skin, and then I felt his lips again as his mouth formed the words, I love you, I love you, I love you.

There are so many things I feel like I still need to figure out and so many things working against us.

Me: Guess what? I’m back on the road.

Archer: What? How?

Me: I miss you. I need to come home.

Archer: Is this your home, Bree?

Me: Yes, Archer, my home is where you are.

Come back to me, Bree. I miss you so much it feels like a part of myself is missing.
