Know the Score (Vancouver Knights, #2)

by Kylie Kent

“March eighteenth. Every year, he mourns you like you died, Kathryn. You know how I know that? Because I’ve flown out here on that day, every year, to help him through it. Do you have any idea what it’s been like watching him fall apart? He looked for you for years, Kathryn. And even though I knew it was your choice, I always hoped he’d find you and bring you back.”

“Two thousand, one hundred, and eighty-four days,” he says. “That’s how long I’ve been looking for you. So, imagine my surprise when you show up right here, in Vancouver, on my metaphorical doorstep, after all this time.”

“You might hate me, Grayson Monroe, but I know you also still love me. Otherwise you would have killed me by now.”

“You hate me,” I choke out. “I do, but you were right. No matter how much I hate you, I still love you. I’ve always loved you, Kathryn.”

“I think we will always be an us, Kathryn. We probably have some shit to work through, but it’s always been you. It will always be you.”

“Kathryn, kiss me,” Gray says, clearly reading my mind. “If you want to kiss me, then fucking kiss me. Whenever, wherever, and in front of whomever.”
