Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Ian Roberts?” I ask at the same moment as he bursts, “Amelie Preston?” Oh, this is definitely a meet-atrocious.
If you’re not wearing that dress, you shouldn’t bother getting married. Forget about how good it looks on you. How divine, enchanting, or perfect you look in it, though you do. That smile, right there, is the reason you should wear it. The way your eyes sparkle is the only excuse you need. That, Amelie, is your wedding dress.
“I meant it when I said I’m not looking for a girlfriend, Amelie. But you . . .” He shrugs. “You’re my favorite notification.”
“I don’t think I’d ever stop looking at you that way. If you were mine.” When I look away, he clears his voice. “You as in—not you. Just . . . the woman I love.”
“If you’re going to punch me again, that’s how you hold your fist, beautiful,”
“I just broke a door down. You bet your beautiful ass I can pick you up.”
A friend is someone who doesn’t judge you. Who maybe can’t make things better, but will try, and if all else fails, will just sit in silence with you. Someone you can count on, someone who is happy when you are. A friend is someone who makes you laugh a little harder and smile a whole lot more.”
“My condition is that you do the scary thing and break it off, Amelie. This sham of an engagement. My condition is that you stop choosing someone who isn’t choosing you back.”
“You do this one thing. This huge, terrifying, necessary thing, and there will never be more conditions from me, Amelie. Never again. I’ll be in your life unconditionally.”
“And then I met you. And it feels like . . . like you taught me what love is.”
“What happens next?” he whispers. “Do I need to drop to my knees? Because I will. I’ll beg if you want me to. You win. Please let me do unspeakable things to you.”
“Good—more than good. Perfect. You’re my perfect girl.”
“The way you feel when you come with my cock deep inside you . . .” He leans forward to whisper in my ear. “You make me powerless. You own me.”
“It’s too late because you’re in love with me, Amelie.”
“I’d rather be your girlfriend than anyone else’s wife,”
“I’d rather be your husband than be single ever again.”
“You think I care about The Marguerite more than I care about Amelie? I lov—”
“I love you, Amelie.”
“You’ve become my best friend, and my home, and my safe place, and at the same time, my craziest adventure. Until at some point, you weren’t just in my life. You were all of it.”
“Know what’s on the menu?”
“Me n’ u.”
