Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I’m in love with you, Hallie. I love every single thing about you, and there’s nothing in this world that
want more than to be with you. For all of the world to see you’re mine… and I’m yours. You wondered if the way that I felt was true and if I ever noticed you before that first day. And the answer is yes.”
“AliensRReal? Sound familiar? Yeah… that’s me. I’ve been your number one fan since the day you started, and that’s never going to change. I’ve wanted you for a long time, long before that day. It didn’t take until then for me to notice you; it just gave me the courage to finally step up to the plate.”
He’s… Lane is AliensRReal? He’s been following the podcast from… the beginning?
“I should have told you that I was in love with you before now. And someone wise once told me that I can be anyone I wanna be, and I wanna be the guy who gets you, Hallie Edwards. I want to be the guy that watches documentaries with you instead of
going to parties. I want to be the guy that you call when you get accepted to film school. I want to be the guy that helps you pick out T-shirts with funny sayings and the guy that kisses you in the rain. I want to be the guy that gets to love you. I want to be the guy that gets the girl. The only girl that I want.”
“I want to be your guy, Hallie. I want to support you, and love you, and be the real me with you.”
“What do you say, Hallie Girl? Will you be my girlfriend?”
“It’s one of my good-luck charms, and it’s from my girl. I had to fix it.”
“Don’t apologize. I understand, Hallie Girl. I’m terrified out of my damn mind that I’ll somehow fuck this up. It’s okay to be afraid, but I promise you I will never break your heart. Whatever happens? Me graduating, you going to NYU, whatever the world throws at us… I’ll be here. By your side. We’ll figure it out together. I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make this work. You’re it for me. There will never be another you, Hallie.”
“I love you, Lane, and I think I’ve been in love with you since the night you took off my makeup and slept on my floor like a crazy person.”
Loving Lane Collins is the easiest thing I’ve ever done. That’s how love should be. Effortless yet monumental, like thunder in a rainstorm or the sun rising above the clouds each morning. And the most important thing that loving Lane has taught me? Love isn’t conditional. It doesn’t have terms or expectations. It doesn’t matter if two people fit together. All that matters is that together… you feel whole.
