Kindle Notes & Highlights
What I don’t realize is that I’ll be fighting the urge to stare at Jasper Gervais for years to come.
Childhood friends to lovers
Plus, I remember how Sloane looks at a man when she really wants him. And she isn’t looking at her fiancé the way she used to look at me.
Friends don’t look at friends the way you look at each other
“Raise your voice at that woman one more time and I will drop you like a stone, Woodcock.”
Don’t touch the goalie’s girl!!
I saw one at a little boutique on Sixteenth Avenue—you know that funky area? It was a purple oval sapphire. How cool is a purple sapphire? And they set it sideways in matte yellow gold.
Bets Jasper is gonna go and buy said ring for her
Sloane is selfless. She might not look it, but she’s strong. She’s a got a huge heart. A gentle soul. And watching her comfort Harvey right now, I let myself admit that the way I love Sloane might not be how one friend loves another at all.
“You always look good to me. Concealer, no concealer. Fancy dress, Harvey’s sweat suit. Smooth hair”—his hand waves over me with a low chuckle—“whatever this is. It doesn’t matter. You’re you.” I swallow and try my best not to melt onto the floor into a squishy pile of mush. “That’s probably what you tell all the girls, Gervais.” “Nah, Sunny. You’re my only girl.”
Because the way Jasper is staring at me right now has my stomach twisting and thighs clenching.
Because I’ve been staring at Jasper Gervais since I was ten years old, and suddenly . . . he’s staring back.
*girly screams and giggles* 🤭🤭
Jasper: I don’t like talking to people. Sloane: You talk to me. Jasper: You’re not people. Sloane: Lmao. What am I then? Jasper: My person.
Punching the table right now😭 “my person”
And you need to sign that girl’s jugs so she can continue to pretend she wants your autograph when she just wants you to fondle her melons.”
What an absurd sentence😭
“I’ll drink your water if you give me a facial.” Gotta say, the first place my head goes is not to beauty products. “Don’t worry. I’ll give you one too.”
This is hilariously embarrassing
“Times have changed, Sloane. I’m not scared anymore. You’re not my fucking friend. You’re just mine.”
Finally!! Get your head out your ass and get your girl Gervais!!
My brain might be in bitch mode, but my heart? My heart is in slut mode.
Love that for you
“You might be wearing his ring, but we both know it was my cock you were riding in your head,”
“See, Sloane? You can wear someone else’s ring, but we both know you’ve always been mine.”

Billie, who has a knack for making us all laugh, proclaimed that unloading hay is a “boy” job and we should all go get wine to drink straight from the bottle. She’s a bit scary if I’m being honest. She’s like Willa. On crack.
This makes me miss Gold Rush Ranch series🥲
“I feel like I could crumble under the weight of not wanting to disappoint you. I’m paralyzed by my fear of losing you.”
She said “speak up” and he spewed poetry
“Lose that fucking ring and crawl.”
How am I meant to just go in after this??

Jasper: How’s my girl? I’ll be back tonight. Meet you at the ranch? Sloane: Yes. Really good. Especially when you call me that. Jasper: My girl? Sloane: Yeah. Haha. Never thought I’d hear that. Jasper: Sunny, you’ve always been my girl.

You’ve got this whole angry little Tinkerbell vibe happening. I dig it.” His eyes rake over her body appreciatively but not lewdly. “You’re fucking nuts, you know that? You drive like an asshole behind me for a solid ten minutes, and now you follow me here? To . . . to . . . check me out and compare me to a Disney pixie?” The woman continues reaming him out, her doll-like features twisted in a furious mask.
“I think she’s actually a fairy. And for the record, driving twenty below the speed limit is also dangerous and could kill someone. Mostly me. From boredom,”
STOP I love them already
“I’m married, you fucking pig. Now leave.” Theo shrugs and smiles. “Married for now, maybe.”
“Call your dog off, Eaton,” she mutters as she passes Rhett and enters the log ranch house. “Woof!” Theo makes a deep barking sound into the snowy night air, and Rhett laughs at him as Winter disappears. “You’re an idiot, Theo.” “Dude. I think I’m in love with your sister-in-law. She’s so fiery.” Rhett shakes his head as he turns to go back into the house, Theo on his heels. “Like I said, man, you’re an idiot.”
I NEED THEIR BOOK LIKE YESTERDAY
“Would you make that gamble?” “Over and over again.” I love hockey, but it’s not even close to how I love Sloane. Two weeks off of hockey compared to a few days without Sloane proved two things to me: I can live without hockey but I can’t live without Sloane.
“Where’s the ring? I want it back.”
“I fucked that ring right off her finger.”
🤭😮
You’re the least scary thing in my life. You’re not just tattooed on my skin. You’re branded on my heart. Woven into the fiber of my being. The most constant and reassuring person in my life. When I close my eyes, I see you. When you’re away from me, I dream about you. When I need someone to lean on, you are always there for me. God. You’ve loved me when I haven’t even been able to love myself.”
“You’ve looked at me like this for so damn long. And I don’t know when I started looking back, only that I did. Forcing myself to look away for so many years has been a special kind of torture. I’ve tortured myself for long enough. I’m done hiding, done missing out on this. On us.”
“I love you, Sloane Winthrop. I always have. I love you so damn hard I don’t even know what to do with it. You’re my person. And I think I’m yours too.” “You have always been my person,” she chokes out. “I love you so much.”

A ring I like. A ring I told him about while chugging trashy beer in the passenger seat of his SUV while wearing a wedding ring from another man. It’s a purple, oval cut sapphire, set horizontally into yellow gold. Surrounded on all edges. It’s quirky. It’s unique. It’s one of a kind. It’s exact the ring I described to him all those months ago.
I KNEW IT FROM THE START
“That when it comes to you, I’m powerless.”
