Kindle Notes & Highlights
Our eyes met, green on green, and he winked at me from across the room. And just like that, I was ruined.
“You can’t tell me what to do, Joe,” I growled, feeling a combination of drunk and dizzy. “You don’t own me.” “Well, that’s bad fucking luck on my account, because you sure as shit own me!” Drunk or not, his words hit me like a wrecking ball to the chest. Feeling the air whoosh from my lungs, I glared up at him, feeling a torrent of emotions crashing through me. “Why would you say that to me?” “Because it’s the truth.” “Since when?” “Since I was twelve.”
Because every part of me loved every part of her. The good, the bad, and the ugly.
this girl was by far my greatest addiction.
“I’m not your mother or your sister. I’m not another girl who needs something from you. I’m the girl who wholeheartedly wants you. I’m the girl who wholeheartedly loves you. The hurler. The mechanic. The boy. The protector. The asshole. The lover. The addict.”
Girls were dangerous creatures with hidden meanings behind every word they spurted,
“But every time you snort a line or pop a pill, you’re playing Russian roulette with your life and my heart.”
I’m a lot of things, Aoife , but I’m not a coward, and I don’t run.”
“I’ve loved your daughter for six years,” Joey finally broke his silence by saying. “I can easily love her for another eighteen.”
I’ll burn this fucking house to the ground with you and your cunts in it before I let ya go!”
“I’ve got your back, Mrs. Joey the hurler.”
I absorbed his words like an addict would crack cocaine because in this moment, whether he meant it or not, Tadhg Lynch was giving me everything I needed.
“I’m the one saving 6.”
Through the storm, through the Category 5 fucking hurricane that was my life, she stayed, never giving up on me even when I’d given up on myself.
“Because in this version of forever, we get the happy ending, Molloy.”
