Kindle Notes & Highlights
It’s been really hard, but you made everything better.
Not that I wasn’t in top shape, but because deep down my fears about relapse practically ruled my thoughts every time I got sick with something as common as a cold.
I’d hoped against hope that he went into remission, and now I had my answer. Lark Levitt had survived and then some.
I guess Henry Albrecht was in my life again. Sort of. At least from a distance. But now everything was different. We weren’t kids with cancer anymore.

I just…forgot about your laugh…and how much I enjoyed it back then.”
He was attracted to me? My heart was beating so hard; I thought it might explode.

he was the center of my world, and I wanted everyone to know it.
“I, uh, got this for you.” His eyes grew adorably wide. “It’s a jersey with your number on it.” “Will you wear it? I bet it’ll bring me luck.”
my lips nipping across his throat and down his chest, inhaling his watermelon scent. It definitely gave me a sugar high.
