"Are you crazy? I can't even dump either of them, and now you're telling me to maintain both relationships?"

"We have another battle on our hands." I don’t ask for details. I don’t need to. The weight of his words is enough. As he leaves, I feel the association we recently produced getting endlessly, as though it was never there in the first place.

He closed the distance between them slowly, stopping behind her, voice low and raw. “I am not using you.” She laughed bitterly. “Really?

What do you call, ” “I call it survival,” he growled. Savannah turned sharply to face him. “Survival? That’s all I am to you?” He stepped so close she had to tilt her head to keep eye contact. “You are not just survival. You are the only part of this entire mess that feels real.”

“Yeah, you don’t have to tell me that.” Immediately, she could understand the double meaning. She could read between those lines of passive aggression and she could hear what he really wanted to say. “This marriage was unexpected, and sure as hell not something I wanted.” And if he said that, like she knew he wanted to, she knew she would want to agree. And she also knew that she wouldn’t, even if she wanted to. Because she was a survivor, and she needed to save her brother. She needed to make Tino a survivor, too. And the only way to do that was with her husband’s help.

He handed it to me and flopped onto the couch like he had no care in the world. I opened the envelope and scanned the front page. MARRIAGE CONTRACT. I looked up at him, stunned. “Are you serious?” His face was unreadable. “In there are the terms. My expectations. The dos and don’ts.

But together. Emma looked at me. "Propose anyway." "What?" "You wanted to propose. So propose. I do not care about perfect anymore. I care about us. About real. About now." "Em, we just survived press conference. You are crying. This is not the moment." "This is exactly the moment. Because we survived. Together. That is what marriage is. Surviving hard things.

"Damian, don't you understand what I'm trying to say?" I reached up and took Sebastian's hand. "We're over, and I'm already married. "Meet Sebastian Whitmore. He's my husband. We have the legal paperwork, a marriage certificate, and a real wedding. Best of all, he doesn't have any female best friends or women who are practically sisters to him."
