Hurts Quote by Eli Easton
““He squeezed me hard and kissed my cheek. "I love you, Jordy." I'd told Owen that I loved him before, but at that moment, I couldn't say it. Because what I meant by it and what he meant by it were two different things. And right now the gulf between them was so big and so awful that I couldn't stand it. The reality sank in. I would never have Owen like that again. An intense, burning pain spread through my chest. It was so strong it took my breath away. "It hurts," I whispered. "I'm sorry, Jordan," He hugged me tighter. I could feel his tears on my cheek, but I had none of my own to give.””
