Kindle Notes & Highlights
I also thought it might be a nice way for us to spend more time together. Adam’s been hard at work trying to make his business dream a reality, and we haven’t seen much of each other lately.
We love a small business owner
Adam’s finally going to propose. And I’d bet money that he’s planning on proposing this Christmas.
Hopefully 💕
“I mean this isn’t working.” He gestures from himself, to me. “Me and you.”
Oh....👀
“It’s over,” he adds for good measure, really twisting the pastry knife. “B-b-but… the ring,” I stutter, my vision blurring at the edges as hot tears prick the corners of my eyes. Now, it’s Adam’s turn to look confused. “What ring?” “I found it in your drawer,” I mumble, blinking up at a shiny decorative Christmas bauble suspended above me. “Oh. That’s not for you.”
I'm sorry what!😀
His Elizabeth. Elizabeth Carberry. Business advisor extraordinaire. Really, really pretty. And apparent go-to girl for an affair. Ha.
So he was having an affair. holly shit I'm just in the beginning wth?👀
And so, I do the only thing that a reasonable, sane, mature, twenty-five year old woman who’s just been dumped on national television would do: I reach up, grab the back of his head… and dunk his stupid blind-bat face in the vat of wrong-color-red frosting. Fa la la la la la la la la.
As you should. But bro could've done this off camera though 💀
In my former life, Adam was the hockey fan, and I didn’t give a damn about sports of any kind. He took me to a game once, on a date, and I snuck in my Kindle to keep me entertained.
I would do the same thing
dense. Starting a TikTok was a great way to distract myself after the breakup. It was also something I’ve been wanting to do for a while—combining my love of baking with my education on nutrition so that I can help people create healthy treats they can enjoy.
That's good you need a good distraction
Thinking of Adam makes me want to cry, and I’ve only allowed myself three pity cries since The Incident:
That's normal babe
3. On my way into the arena this morning—with impeccably terrible timing that had me fleeing to this bathroom in the first place—because the Instagram post I’ve been dreading finally popped up on my feed. Adam and Elizabeth are engaged. And I doubt that the timing is a coincidence—he kind of had to get that ring on her stupidly slender, long, perfect finger before The Incident episode airs in just over a week. And according to that same post, he—they—recently opened his new dream dessert emporium, too. So the happy couple have more than one thing to celebrate.
Block him
“Um, I’m glad to hear you’re fine,” he says meekly. Cautiously. “But… I’m pretty sure this is the men’s restroom?” “No,” I say staunchly with a shake of my head. “This is definitely the…”
Damn girl how dis you mess that up? Going to the Mens room instead of the women's
Hell, I might even be a dumb jock. But the first thing that springs to mind as I stare at the woman in the men’s bathroom—who’s scrubbing her hands while sporting raw, red, teary eyes—is that scene in Macbeth where Lady Macbeth goes off the rails. Proof that I did listen in class once in a while. Man, my high school English teacher would be proud.
Lol
I am surrounded by idiots.
Scar is that you? lmao 😂
“So we meet again, Maddie.” I nod in her direction. “And you’re scrubbing your hands again. Please tell me you didn’t commit a murder.”
Lol
I waggle a finger at her. “Never judge a hockey player by his cover, Madelyn.”
Lol
“Sensitive souls who binge-watch cookie shows. While eating cookie dough.”
Sound like me
“I believe the term you’re looking for is IMS—Irritable Male Syndrome.”
Lol
ruling out crack. This shiz is almost weirdly delicious. “You make great-tasting yogurt snacks, but your taste in movies is all wrong. The correct answer is Home Alone.”
Yes 😘
“I guess I’ll see you around the kitchen and the men’s restrooms then, Lady M.” “Lady M?” She frowns, even as her cheeks turn pink. But I’m already out the door, laughing all the way down the hallway. Never a dull moment here at the Cyclones.
Lady M cute nickname
Rick Astley, curled up at my feet.
Rick Astley? Love that name for a dog lmao😂
