Chapter 13

• Christian. You barely know me. You saved me life, yes, but that's all we know. We shared a couple of glances in a crowded room, but that's it. You can't just know something is right from one glance. Fairy tales don't exist, and neither do happily ever afters." Even as she spoke, Ana's hands tightened on his fingers. It was as if her body was contradicting her words.
• It's okay, love. I'll show you everything you could ever want and need.
• "Yes, they do. I've seen it. My father and mother, though they ended tragically, it doesn't mean that they didn't have happiness together. Life has shown me that you make your own happiness. And I know I can be that for you. If you let me."
