Now Open Your Eyes (Stay With Me series Book 3)
Page 35
To ANNIE — I wish this entire world could see what I see in you. Thank you for always being there without question and being my emotional support through the passing of my Nana while writing NOYE. I know it’s been a rough few months for the both of us, but despite what’s happened, you’ve never put me on the back burner, and for that, I’m forever grateful. Thank you for your perfect beautiful eyes and proofing my books. You are my Adrian Taylor—my most unexpected plot twist. My ripcord. This is going to be a busy year, partner. Buckle up! I love you!
To SHALEY — You are beyond amazing and more. If it weren’t for your hard-ass pushing me to make deadlines, we probably wouldn’t have seen this book for another few months. Thank you for your constant reminders to keep me on track, for leading the street team in the best possible way, for your guidance, your knowledge, for always willing to help, but most importantly, thank you for your friendship. You have made this ride so much smoother.
To LUCIA — That quote in the prologue is for you, woman. It’s only been a few months since we crossed paths, but it didn’t take long for me to look up to you and admire the woman you are. The kind of woman I strive to be. You are every bit encouraging, strong, fiercely passionate, and dedicated. Thank you for pushing me to get on a schedule, turning me into a morning person, and, without you ever realizing, reminding me to never second guess myself. At the end of the day, these are our stories, and we’re sticking to them …
To MICHAEL, CHRISTIAN, & GRACIE — You are the three I bleed onto these pages for so my love for you will last forever, even when I’m gone. XO
To my MOM — “Yes, Mom. I know, Mom, Okay, Mom.” Thank you for your constant nagging, reminders, willingness to help, trips to the post office during big orders, and celebrating all the small victories with me. I love you, and I’m ready for that breakfast date now.
To AMANDA, DANIELLE, & KAYLEE (& Steve) —You three will always be my favorite story to tell. TDL coming 2021
To the rest of my friends and family
all over the world,
Thank you!
