“She was mine, had always been, and I'd always been hers. Despite what I'd done, the wounds I'd inflicted, she had always been mine.... our hearts had been tied, our bond one that neither of us could ever escape.”
―
A.L. Jackson,
Take This Regret
“Never would I take what I’d been given for granted. I’d never look at her through indifferent eyes, listen to her fears and worries with distant ears, or touch her with impassive hands. Elizabeth was a gift and Lizzie was my treasure. I would adore my family until the day I died.” ― A.L. Jackson, Take This Regret
“What do you want, Christian?”What did I want? To make her smile, to wipe away her tears, to hold her. To be a father, a real father, not one in title, but on who’d earned that right. I wanted to stay. “I want my family,” I forced through the lump in my throat.” ― A.L. Jackson, Take This Regret
“I see beauty and pain. Joy and sorrow. I see the good and I see the bad . . . and I love it all.” ― A.L. Jackson, Come to Me Quietly
“I can't live without you. I haven't lived a day without you.” ― A.L. Jackson, Pulled
“I don’t know how to stop loving you.” ― A.L. Jackson, When We Collide
“Erin called us soul mates, but I…I’ve always known it was more than that. It’s like we share the same soul, and when we’re apart, each half is looking for the other.” ― A.L. Jackson, Pulled
“My body trembled as all the regrets of my life washed through me, my heart feeling as if it were on the verge of failing. My sould cried out for her. It had never stopped its search for her in nine years, and I could still feel her calling for me.” ― A.L. Jackson, Pulled
“Make me remember what it feels like to be loved.” ― A.L. Jackson, When We Collide
“Daddy.I was struck with the magnitude of what that meant, the responsibility of being a father. Waves of devotion swept through me as I silently promised her I would always be there for her, would always love her, would be the best father I could possibly be.” ― A.L. Jackson, Take This Regret
“Maybe now I really understood why Elizabeth had run from me all of these months, why she would never allow herself to believe. A love as intense as the one we shared, one that had not dimmed through years of betrayal but had only grown, was terrifying. We had the power to destroy, to devastate and ruin, to lay the other to waste. But I wasn’t running.” ― A.L. Jackson, Take This Regret
“My baby girl liked pink” ― A.L. Jackson, Take This Regret
“Because it shouldn't hurt to be touched.” ― A.L. Jackson, When We Collide
“And it killed me because I could never forget him. Couldn't because he'd permanently etched himself to me, left a part of himself forever within me. For so many years I'd loved him, but when he'd gone this time, he'd taken a part of me captive too, a piece that could never be retrieved because it would always belong to him...” ― A.L. Jackson, Come to Me Quietly
“I'll be whatever you need me to be.” ― A.L. Jackson, When We Collide
“Maybe a love that flamed so bright could only burn us into the ground.” ― A.L. Jackson, If Forever Comes
“Once again, I found myself on the edge looking down, wondering when I’d get so close that I’d fall. Or maybe I’d just jump.” ― A.L. Jackson, Take This Regret
“For so long, I’d wanted to hear those words fall from her lips. I’d just had no idea that in those words there would be so much sadness, that they would be tainted by years of her sorrow, and that my own thrill in finally hearing her say them aloud would be tarnished by the immense amount of resentment over what she had done.” ― A.L. Jackson, Take This Regret
“I loved her. Oh God… I loved her. She was everything, ripped me apart and made me whole.” ― A.L. Jackson, When We Collide
