Kindle Notes & Highlights
Staring up at the guy, Jesse pointed at me. “That’s my mommy. She doesn’t have one of those. She has ta-tas.”
“What the fuck is happening?” One of three men standing in the shower room turned his body away from Jesse and looked over at me. “He’s going to lose an eye in here, sweetheart.”
“It’s a ding dong store!”
“Maybe it was wrong for me to kiss you, but I waited too long when we were in high school and that taught me a big lesson. Fucking kiss Olive before some other jackass swoops in.”
“You’re crazy, you know that?”
He nodded, a warm smile stretching his lips. “I really am happy to see you, Olive. You look good.”
“You always were so sweet. Delusional...

“I never hated you. I fucking hated Taylor. What he did to you… I told him to go fuck himself the day you showed up to school and everyone knew about the baby. I tried to talk to you a few times but you only saw Taylor when you looked at me. I didn’t blame you.”
“I’ll be honest, Olive. Until you tell me that you aren’t interested, I’m going for more than friends. Seeing you again just reminded me of how beautiful you are and why I was interested in the first place.”
Jack moved closer to me and when he leaned in, I saw that his eyes were a pretty hazel. They looked brighter set against his short black hair and beard.
“She’s a year younger. Olive got all the sweet and Lydie got all the mean. I watched her try to take Taylor out with a bat once. And that was before everything blew up.” Andrew shuddered the same way Jesse had over the worms. “I wouldn’t mess with Lydie if I was ten feet taller and wearing Kevlar.”
“Olive. I’ve got my dick in my hand and I’m so close to being in heaven that I could cry. I don’t want to think about anyone else ever again. Are you okay with me being bare?” She bit her lip and nodded. “You fixed my water. I trust you.”
We’ll lend a hand where we can. Jesse could even hang out with us at practice today. Coach would murder us for the smallest shit but he’s a softy for kids.” I squeezed her hand. “You don’t have to do anything alone.”
“I’ve seen his shit posts through the group texts and every night this week he’s been drinking with a new random woman.” Andrew cracked his neck. “Meanwhile, Olive is going to class, working, raising Jesse, and doing everything else by herself.”
“You’re kidding, right? Did you just apologize for kissing my cheek? You could climb over here and kiss every part of me and I wouldn’t complain, sweetheart.” I flushed pleasantly. “I heard a rumor about you.” His smile fell. “Shit.”
