Kindle Notes & Highlights
Every time I reply with one, it’s that feeling of gifting someone a present you picked out that you hope they’ll love.
He is talking about saying “sure” “yeah” and “of course”
I was banking on having more time with Harper. That we could talk—after the wedding was over—and I could tell her that Cat isn’t a factor.
You could’ve done that like two nights ago bro
A gesture of my sincerity before leaving.
ARE YOU STUPID dude you just have to tell her your dad is in the FUCKING HOSPITAL and she will be like “oh jeeze my dad died once please go be with him” WHAT ARE YOU ON ABOUT
Ending things on an awkward note is the last thing I want.
Then TELL HER ABOUT YOUR DAD JESUS
he replies, his response only for her.
She is the only one who was talking to him so yeah, why would he he responding to you?
“My dad is in the hospital.”
Drew why were you being so dramatic like 3 pages ago over leaving things awkward and oh wow is me I am a tortured hockey man
And I realize there’s a chance I just fucked up majorly.
You told her to enjoy the wedding. Her sisters wedding. While you go to bed early to go see your dad. This isn’t a fuck up. It’s proof Harper is a shit sister.
You would have been fine without me.” And I mean it. Harper is much stronger than she gives herself credit for.
No she isn’t
My father could become best friends with a brick wall.
Is this about my grandma? Because I think it’s actually about my grandma.
I could have—should have—asked her a question, I guess.
Or she could’ve said “oh I’m so glad your dad is okay”
I bite back a barb about how she didn’t prioritize me over Savannah when it came to choosing her maid of honor.
Yeah because you are miserable and not fun to be around
thought I’d made it clear.
You did. She’s just dumb
“You want me to wear his jersey? Doesn’t that seem…I don’t know…desperate?”
Did you forget getting each other off in a lake? You left desperate a long time ago
“Why do you even have this?” “I ordered it after you told me about him. Was planning to give it to you for Christmas, as a joke. Hurry up, put it on.”
Wait that’s so mean because Harper was genuinely sad over breaking up with him
And the infamous Instagram post.
Drew is famously the only hockey player to get millions of likes on a thirst trap photo of him for sure
I know nothing about hockey.
Oh we know
They know my messy family history. Know about my dad and why we stopped coming to Port Haven.
Yes yes. Family friends tend to know these things
This is the person I could see taking my last name, not just wearing it.
Make her get therapy first she needs it
“Because your parents were there?”
Harper you were literally standing next to him when he was like “mom? Dad? I didn’t know you were going to be here!” And his parents confirmed they wanted to surprise him
With the way he looks—like a masterpiece of male perfection.
“Tell me what you like.” “Your mouth on my dick,”
This is so funny because she just told the audience she usually hates blowjobs because it’s about “one person getting off while the other gets nothing”
Reveling in the power I’m experiencing as Drew fucks my mouth with the same confident determination he displayed on the ice earlier.
Excuse me???
growing impossibly harder.
This is the year we’re gunning for the Cup.
Is that not the goal every year?
I’d never not worn a condom with a woman.
Okay??? That doesn’t mean you’re in love with her???? It means you’re stupid. This is not at all a romantic thought.
“I’m also insecure and emotional and a poor communicator. Do I still sound hot?”
I’m glad she’s self aware
“I’m so worried I’ll mess it up. I’ve never…I’ve never felt this way with a guy.” I glance at Olivia. “Do you think I’ll mess it up?”
Yes I do. He hasn’t texted you and you are spiralling instead of just texting him. You are not cut out for a long distance relationship. I doubt you’re really cut out for no distance relationships.
“I thought I’d be able to come to New York this weekend. Then…something came up.” There’s a beat of silence that feels like it lasts a lot longer than seconds. “It’s okay. I understand.” “Will it always be okay?” I ask.
Honestly! No! It won’t be.
When I visit, I usually make it a point to have my arms full when I walk in, avoiding this moment. This time, I drop my suitcase and give him a hug. It’s brief and slightly awkward. But again, it’s something.
I am glad she’s realizing she’s the problem. But not in a quirky Taylor Swift way, I must clarify.
And you held everything together so that I could fall apart. I never thanked you for that, and I should have.”
“The best gift you could give me is being happy, Harper. You should go spend this weekend with Drew.”
Bfjshdid crying her mom really doesn’t want Harper there fbsisbishsishabxidjd imagine sucking so much that your mom ships you off for a gift to herself
“Mom. You can’t seriously—” Once again, I’m cut off. “Simon, pull the car out of the garage. Amelia, get her bag. I told Simon to put her in the Sailboat Room.”
Her mom really wants her gone bfjsbsissb
“Way to make me feel like a fifth wheel you guys can’t wait to get rid of.”
I’m glad I’m not the only one who sees it that way!
CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE
Whyyyyyy are you still going
Was the previous chapter not basically an epilogue
“I also asked your dad when we were there for that Memorial Day cookout.”
