Lexi Blake, Revenge

...he couldn't die  now that he'd finally figured  out what it truly meant to  live. It meant choosing to look past his own pain to  something that might heal him. Someone.

 Best revenge I had. Loving you.

He'd held it all  in because he thought he had to  be strong around his siblings. Because this softness, his fear and doubt and pain, they were hers. Because she was his safe place, the one person  he would let  go with.

It wasn't merely taking out his enemies that made  him strong. Being better than them was the best revenge of all.
He'd finally fugured out that he was worth saving, too.
