Kindle Notes & Highlights
“You shouldn’t be here,” I hissed, letting go of his arm. “Bridget could have heard you.” A loud Oooh-oooh-oooooh! rang from the bathroom. “I think we’re safe,” he said, deadpan.
Felix opens the center console. “Here,” he says, passing back a snack bar that’s mostly nuts, the kind I like best. I meet his eyes in the mirror. “Thank you.” “You just happened to have that in there?” Bridget gawks at her brother. “No,” he says. “I bought it when I stopped for gas. Just in case.” “Just in case,” she repeats. “Lucy gets carsick if she has an empty stomach.”
“Someone distracted me,” he said, tapping his knife on the mark. I lifted my gaze to his. “It was worth it.” “She must have been cute,” Bridget quipped from behind me. He smiled at me. “The most gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen.”
“I loved her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be.”
Bridget and Miles’s first kiss as a married couple lasts so long, there are hollers from the audience. “Get a room, mate,” one of the Aussies shouts.
Our friendship is how I learned to compromise. It’s how I learned that the families we make are as significant as the ones we’re born into. It’s how I learned that the greatest loves are not always romances.”
