It's Not Summer Without You (Summer, #2)

by Jenny Han

I wasn’t in Cousins. Conrad and I weren’t together, and Susannah was dead.

oh!

Conrad,

wait are we going to find out where they ran away to or even speak on it?

But really, it all just made that one amazing night in December all the sweeter. Conrad and I went back to Cousins, just the two of us. Perfect nights come so rarely, but that one was. Perfect, I mean. It was the kind of night worth waiting for.

my impatient ass loll

chapter four JEREMIAH

OH WHO IS YOU

I was pissed at her. It wasn’t just that she’d picked Conrad. That was old news. She was always going to pick Conrad.

He was careful, the way he touched me, like I was a Christmas ornament he was afraid of breaking.

I stepped toward him, closer and closer still, and he didn’t back away. We were close enough to kiss. I was holding my breath, wanting so badly for things to be like before.

AM I GETTING I THOUGHT YOU KNEW?????

“Rise and shine,” I sang.

stormi baby!

And then he said, “I thought your specialty was cocoa.” I stared at him. Did he really just say that? Did he remember? The way he looked back at me, one eyebrow raised, I knew he did. And this time, I was the one to look away.

“If you like Jeremiah, why are you wearing my necklace?” I wet my lips. “I found it when we were packing up your dorm room. It doesn’t mean anything.” “You know what it means.” I shook my head. “I don’t.” But of course I did. I remembered when he’d explained the concept of infinity to me. Immeasurable, one moment stretching out to the next. He bought me that necklace. He knew what it meant.

“Go to Jeremiah. He’s the one who wants you,” Conrad said. “I don’t. I never did.”

damn so im only getting "i thought you knew" in the show :(

This wasn’t the way I pictured it. Me, in a white dress in the pouring rain, running for the car. Him, running ahead of me and opening the passenger door. “Are you sure?” he asks me. “No,” I say, getting in. The future is unclear. But it’s still mine.

so i have to see her at least go to her wedding with rinestone ring man… sad
