Bride Ali Hazelwood Quotes
“You’re not a problem, Misery. You’re a privilege.”
― Ali Hazelwood, Bride
“You think, but you don’t know. You don’t know anything about what it’s to find your other half, I would take anything she chose to give me—the tiniest fraction or her entire world. I would take her for a single night knowing that I’ll lose her by morning, and I would hold on to her and never let go. I would take her healthy, or sick, or tired, or angry, or strong, and it would be my fucking privilege. I would take her problems, her gifts, her moods, her passions, her jokes, her body—I would take every last thing, if she chose to give it to me.”

It sure works on Ana, who’s looking at me gape-mouthed. “Who smells good around” Lowe’s hand closes around mine.
