RC Saga Vol. 3: As long as you want

As long as you want

As Ryan nestled into him, Hunter's eyes widened. Her words sent a strange new feeling to his heart. He was... safe to her? Comforting? He curled his arm up around to hold her. His heart rate had picked up just a little. His free hand came up and rested gently on her arm that was across his chest.

Mick's gentle warning came back to him. This wasn't a good idea. It wasn't smart. It wasn't wise. In more ways than one. Yet as he opened his mouth to tell her she should go to her own bunk, he found himself silent. He just couldn't do it. He couldn't turn her away. Not when she... needed him.

Instead, he grabbed the extra blanket on the headboard and threw it over the both of them, letting it unfold to their feet. Reaching over, he turned off the lamp and sighed deeply. His hand returned to her arm now warm under the blanket. "Whenever you want to leave, it's fine," he mumbled. He didn't want her to think he'd be offended if she decided to go to her own bunk. "But you can stay as long as you want."

“I’d rather die knowing I did something to help, than live and know I didn’t do anything.”

“Some of our best memories are not of us alone, but of those who we hold
close to us.”

“Sometimes it takes dancing near the flame to ignite your
own light.”

“I thought I told you not to say goodbye.”

“That smile of yours is too pretty to keep hiding it all the time.”

“…the day I made that stupid mistake, I lost my entire world.”

“The only thing you did wrong was to give up on yourself.”

“Rainbows are only formed by reflecting the light that’s already around them.”

“I knew if I waited
long enough, you
would come.”

“You don’t catch on very quick to the consequences factor, do you?”

“Life just wouldn’t be the same without a friend to flip
coins with.”

“What’s a dream when reality is so much better?”

“I won’t give up
on you.”

“In as much sorrow as you’ve had buried, you’ve helped open up a new world for another, and for that, you cannot feel insignificant.”

“It’s a lucky bloke that wakes up to the face of an angel.”

“When will I learn that you’re the medicine I need, not the cause of my ailment?”

“Don’t let that horizon get away
from you.”

“Oh, J…I thought I lost you, you big jerk.”

“What happened is a once blood-thirsty assassin found his place and reason in life.”

“I’ll always come back to mend the wounds. Because I care
that much.”

“Giving up on you is not even an option in my mind.”

“When you look into her eyes, do you see the world?”

“He’s a Henson… We always come back to what we love.”

“Now I have two candles to light
my way.”

“Never give up.
Never say die.”

“Leave all of what, Jason? This isn’t exactly Wall Street.”

“Your actions prove a love that I don’t
even deserve.”

“Oh great, so you know about my speeding ticket.”

“Don’t let her slip away, Hotshot, you will regret it for the rest of your life.”

“You’re the only light in my world.”

“I’d flip a coin… but I don’t want to take the risk of losing.”

“I value what we have more than anything else in the world. I lost it for over eighteen years and I don’t want to do
that again.”

“I don’t know what’s happening to me, Jamie… but I think I’m falling in love
with you.”

“I won’t rest until we find him.”

“One day I’m gonna figure out how you turn me upside down.”

“No… he was the one that convinced us all he was nerdy.”

“You could be that jerk and I would still like you.”

“Fly… stretch those God-given wings and don’t let anyone hold you back.”

“You’re my rainbow after the rain.”

“And never has a white rabbit run so fast.”

“I promise I am not going anywhere. I’d be a fool if I did.”

“If you want to be Maid Marian, it’s fine with me. As long as I get to be Robin Hood.”

“Well… that was… intense.”

“I know I don’t plan on giving up on you, so don’t give up on yourself just yet.”

“Congratulations, but your sister is going
to kill you.”

“I thought I told you do dance near the flame, not set your engine on fire.”

“Look me in the eye and tell me you don’t love me.”

“I definitely like complicated.”

“I love you, Katie Pent. I’ve denied that fact long enough.”

“A real rainbow is whatever a person looks at. It doesn’t have to be what we see in the sky.”

“I’ll go through anything as long as I am by your side.”

“Welcome back to the land of the living. How about you stay
around this time.”

“I guess I just can’t live without you.”
