Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I’m Graham.” He gives me a lopsided smile as he stares back at me with his big brown eyes. It’s like looking into a mirror. “How old are you, Graham?” “I’m five and I’m in kindergarten.” Heart stuttering, I glance up at Audrey, and I’m sure there’s confusion written across my face. Even I don’t need a tutor to do this kind of math.
Oooooop
“On one of the first nights I was in Colorado, I accidentally almost slept with my team captain’s wife.”
Interesting
“I’d have been there for you and Graham. And it kills me that it’s my own fault that I didn’t know. That you had to do this all yourself, and that I missed it all.”
“Sorry, I just didn’t like the way it felt like I was some secret you were hiding.”
If the shoe fits
“No offense, Drew. But that’s been the case for the last six years. And you can thank me later, because my ability to keep a secret probably saved your NHL career.”
“So you saved my career, but cost me my son’s childhood.” “I didn’t think you wanted any part of that childhood, Drew.”
I don’t want her to be with anyone else.
Then his fingertips slide along my jaw and tuck my hair behind my ear. The wave of longing that runs through me is damn close to incinerating me. “If you ever need anything, just call.”
There was a time when Jules loved hockey, then a trip to Las Vegas ruined it all.
??? I need more info
Watching him, with his knees spread on the ice as he lightly bounces and shifts his weight to each side, stretching out his inner thighs and groin,
YEP I’ve seen them reels 🥵
From my other side, Lauren whispers, “See something you like?”
Hahah she sure did
“You can pretend like you don’t want me, if that’s the lie you need to tell yourself. But don’t think for a second that I don’t know…or that I don’t feel the same way.”
🥵
When she lets out a low groan of pleasure, I say, “I want to kiss you so fucking bad.” She looks back at the phone. “Alright, sicko. You just stay in your lane over there, because I have no desire to get strep again.”
Alright sicko 🤣🤣😭🤣😭😭
“We don’t have to talk about it, Drew. It doesn’t have to mean anything.” “Like hell it doesn’t. This means everything—stop pretending like it doesn’t.”
never imagined this scene, though,” she says as she watches Drew show Graham how to release the football. Me either. “He’s great with kids.” “He’s great with his son,” she says,
They really thought she wouldn’t notice 😆
She pauses for a moment as her eyes fill with tears. “I’m not sure how we got here, but I’m sure glad we’ve arrived.”
♥️
“He always insisted that the first girl he brought home would be the woman he was going to marry.”
“You didn’t show up for Mom because you were too busy…what? Shacking up with some random chick?”
Bitcccch
“If you ever speak about the mother of my child and my future wife that way again, you and I are done. For good. Understand?”
👏
“She left in quite a rush. Did you really tell Caitlyn that Audrey was the mother of your child and your future wife, or did I mishear you while I was eavesdropping?”
Or did I mishear while I was eavesdropping 🤣😭🤣😭😭
“Sure, you do,” Mom says as she pulls a blanket off the back of the couch and spreads it across her lap. “You show her you’re the type of person worth building that foundation with.”
“No, it’s like suddenly I want you and Graham. You’re not some faceless family in some domestic fantasy I’m living in.” How do I explain this to her? “I feel like…when you’re not around, I can’t breathe…and when you are, I can.”
“Show up for her. Give her reasons to trust you, to reveal her weaknesses so you can make up for them. Be the one to show her what unconditional love looks like.”
Yessss
He leans in so close his lips graze my earlobe and the sparks of desire shoot straight through me. “Don’t worry, baby, one day my last name will be yours.”
It’s not until I’ve unwrapped it and am lifting the last layer off that I can tell exactly what it is. I feel my whole face flush, until I’m sure I’m beet red. Because pictured on the outside of the box is an enormous and very realistic dildo, balls and all.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🫠
“Did it ever occur to you to ask what I would want in this situation? Drew, how could Boston be home if you weren’t with us?”
