Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Joe, this is Caoimhe Young. You were probably too young to remember her in primary school, but her little sister is friends with Shannon.”
“I don’t want fifty more girls,” I replied, twisting back to find her still watching me. “I just want that girl.”
Hearing Paul Rice tell half of the lads in our P.E. class about how Tony’s daughter was so tight he could barely get a finger inside her had caused me to flip the fuck out on him in the changing rooms. I did it for Tony because he wasn’t there to do it himself. At least, that’s what I continued to tell myself.
“It’s the age-old trope. There’s always a reason why the good girl lusts after the chemically dependent bad boy.”
he leaned so close that his nose brushed against mine. The move caused a jolt of electricity to rock through my body,
“Where’s the killer instinct, boy?” Saved up for when I’ll need it against you.
“I saw you first. You’re my friend, not his. So stop worrying about my dad and start focusing on me.”
“You’re mine, okay?”
“You’ve got a problem with me because I got the girl that you’ve wanted since day dot. She’s with me, not you, and it drives you fucking nuts.”
“So, you might want to stop hunting me, Molloy.”
“Because if you don’t?” With my wrists pinned to the mattress above my head, he stepped between my legs and leaned in close, so close that his nose brushed mine. “Then one of these days, I’m going to hunt you back.”
“I’m not afraid of loving a boy,” I told her honestly. “I’m afraid of losing myself in one.”
Her easygoing, playful nature meant that she didn’t take a lot of his jibes to heart, but I did. I fucking took them to heart for her.
“Make sure you do.” She laughed. “Because I’ve put an awful lot of effort into saving you, six.”
“Don’t you ever touch her like that again, do ya hear me?”
“I can’t walk away from him,” I admitted, torn. “I don’t know why, but I just can’t do it.”
staying away from Aoife Molloy was almost as difficult for me as staying mad at her was.
She was like the sweetest fucking smell that wouldn’t go away.
“I wouldn’t put hands on her, if I were you.”
“I could go a fair bit crazy over you, Molloy.”
“Bring it on, bitch,”
I freaking love them 🤣🤣🤣
“Don’t you take that tone with me,”
God I love their old married couple vibe before they’re even dating 🤣🤣
After spending an inordinate amount of time trying to push her away, having her actually go did not feel good.
“You said she has nice legs.”
“Bella.” He dropped his head in his hands and groaned, “Bella Wilkinson.”
AHHHH SKANK FACE
“Don’t leave me.”
“Please just stay.” He paused to release another slow breath before continuing. “This is the only time it’s ever stopped. Please don’t break it.”
“This is the only time what’s ever stopped?” I croaked out, feeling my heart thunder wildly in my c...

“He used to be my best friend.”
“Well, I hear this partner of yours feels like shit about the fight the two of you had.”
“Yeah.” Joey nodded. “He misses his friend.”
My heart flipped. “He should miss her. S...

Exhaling a shaky breath, I reached across the table and laid down my hand, palm up. “Nice moves.”
He stared at my hand for a long beat before slowly placing his hand on top of mine. “Nice everything.”
“Teddy was good back in the day, but on his best day he couldn’t hold a torch to that young fella of his,”
Because after the display he’d just put on, there was no way anyone could make this boy do anything he didn’t want to do.
“You shouldn’t settle for comfortable, Molloy. You shouldn’t settle for anything less than being in love to the point of madness. The only person that you should be settling for is the person who unsettles you the most. The person who drives you to the brink of suicide because he or she makes you feel so fucking much that you can’t catch your breath or remotely function without them.
“Because that means you’ll have to acknowledge the fact that there’s a girl sitting right in front of you who cares about you for no other reason than that she just does!
“I care. I care. I care,”
The rain was pouring down on both of us, but I wasn’t walking away. Not now that I knew. Not ever again.
He wasn’t violent by nature. He was violent because he wasn’t nurtured at home.
I was treading in some very dangerous territory right now, but not having the self-control to fall back and retreat to safer surroundings. Not when the only place I ever wanted to be seemed to be in the middle of one of his breakdowns.
All I could see, feel, taste, touch was him. He was everywhere. Consuming me entirely.
Joey kissed me like he was starving for me and no one else’s lips could sate the hunger overtaking him.
allowed myself to finally stop fighting against the tide of emotions overcoming me. The emotions that had been drowning me for five years.
Aoife Molloy consumed me to the point that I didn’t feel like everything was completely fucked in the world anymore.
