Between the Perennial Blooms || Paul Lahote

"I never wanted you; not really. But then I saw you standing there in that little white dress with the grass stains on the hem and suddenly you became the most precious thing in the world to me. When I first shifted I promised myself that if I ever met you, I would ignore you -ignore the connection, ignore the imprint. If it was the last thing I did, I wouldn't drag you into this god-forsaken mess I was born a part of because by-god if there's one thing I can do right it's push people away. But I'm tired of pushing. I'm tired of tucking my tail between my legs and running for the hills. So from hereon out, I'm done. And when I look into your pretty blue eyes next, if you'll let me, I want to lose myself in them."
-Paul Lahote to Bailey Swan (in a voicemail to rectify a heartbreak)

Girls like her weren't supposed to fall for boys like him. She was too soft -too sweet- and he was too angry. He would hurt her; it was inevitable. But he didn't want to. He never wanted to.

And that was all that really mattered.
