The Rule Book

by Sarah Adams

“Are you still in love with her?” For once I’m too tired to fight with him. “Yes, I am. Deeply. Terribly.”

“Because I’m not convinced that what we had is really over between us. Because when we kiss, it feels right. Because when you smile at me my world feels whole. And I want to use this week where you’re not my agent and I have no other obstacles in my way…to woo you.”

“I only lost because I want to show you in a physical way that I’m intentionally and completely vulnerable to you, Nora. That I’ll gladly lose to you every day of my life—because for me, the prize is just being near you.”

“You deserve the whole world, and I’d try to give it to you, but I think you’ll enjoy fighting for it yourself more.”

“I’ve missed you all these years, Nora. My friend. My love.”

“I can make you scream if that’s what you want…but I’d prefer it be my name over and over again.”
