His assistant, Pete, sits tense and alert to my right. The audience in the Washington, D.C., fighting arena consists of about a thousand people, and when the winner of the current match is announced, the crowd grows restless. He’s more ripped than ever, and I know this season he’s ready to take what’s his. The first fight of the new Underground season. It has been even longer than that since thousands of women, men, and fans across the world watched him fall. A thousand four hundred eighty-eight hours of wanting, longing, and needing him. IT’S BEEN TWO months, exactly sixty-two days, since I returned to him. I used to dream of medals and championships, but now I dream solely of a blue-eyed fighter who one day changed my life, when he put his lips on mine. I’m in love, and I will be forever changed by this love, by this man. I learned that you can’t run if you tear a ligament, but your heart can be broken into a million pieces, and you can still love with your whole being. All I know is that I feel this love in every molecule in my body, every breath I take, all the infinity in my soul. Is this heart the one that loves? Or do you love with your soul, which is infinite? I don’t know. How this muscle can house something as encompassing as love is beyond me. About the size of a fist, it has four chambers: two atria and two ventricles. The heart is a hollow muscle, and it will beat billions of times during our lives. “FROM THIS MOMENT ON” by Shania Twain and Bryan White

I hope you enjoy them when Remington and Brooke do! These are some of the songs I listened to while writing MINE. This book is dedicated to everyone who felt the same way I did, and wanted just a little more.
