Chase Quote by C.A. Harms
““You’re hopeless,” I said just before he kissed me. “But you love me,” he whispered against my lips and I couldn’t argue. I did love him, hopelessly and unconditionally. Chase Douglas, I believed, was the man I was meant to spend forever with. All the ugly in my life had led me to this point, right here. So if living in hell was what I had to do in order to find this man, then I would gladly suffer it over again if it meant I had this in the end. Because this right here was what I imagined perfect to be.””
