Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I don’t think I’d like being crushed by a hockey player, funnily enough.” “Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it,” I say quietly without thinking.
it’s a bull shark, we’re both screwed because I’m dragging you with me. You’re bigger, you’ll taste better.” “Trust me, you taste incredible.”
“What’re you doing?” “I’m watching you go in so you don’t have to watch me leave.”
“I’m so bad. I’m literally a goalie’s dream.” “You are.” She finally looks up as I put the paper dove down in front of her. “Speaking as a goalie, that is.”
“You deserve people in your life who make you feel good, Aurora.” “You make me feel good.”
“Well, green is my favorite color.” “What type of green? Ogre green?” “Whatever shade your eyes are.”
“I’m sorry, I haven’t had someone tell me they really like me before and it means more than they just like having sex with me. It threw me for a minute. I don’t want to go back to college and not see you every day, Russ. Seeing you is the best part of my day. And if you’re happy to wait and be patient while I work out what that means, then maybe we can have something special.” Now I’m the one who’s thrown. It feels too easy, too natural to be real life, but it is my real life. “I’d wait forever for you, Aurora.”
“Not butterflies, the butterfly effect. If I change one thing in my past, it’d cause a ripple effect, and I wouldn’t chance not meeting you.”
“Never had you down as the possessive type.” There’s nothing hurt or sad in her tone. “It’s always the ones you least suspect.” “You get that way when you know how fucking special someone is. How they have no goddamn idea how much brighter they make everything. You’re like sunlight, Rory. I want to bask in everything you have. And I absolutely don’t want to share that with Clay. Not even for a minute.”
“You are the brightest thing in my life, Aurora,” he says. “And you’re a living reminder of the good things that can happen when I allow myself to be happy.”
“Your attention is a gift, Aurora. I have no intention of not valuing the time I get with you.”
“Tell me a secret, Callaghan.” He brushes my hair out of my face, staring at me like I’m the only thing he sees in this world. He doesn’t even hesitate. “I’m falling in love with you, Aurora.” Ten million butterflies. “I’m falling in love with you, too.”
