Kindle Notes & Highlights
At least the mid-January weather isn’t terrible. Right now, we have sunny skies and highs in the sixties. I guess that’s why the River Rendezvous is in January instead of the summer. The idea of living that pioneer life in Central Florida in June and July sounds miserable. No AC in the middle of swampland? No, thank you.

“You keep assuming that just because I’m homeschooled, I don’t know what it’s like to feel embarrassed.” “Have you . . . ever felt embarrassed?” He barks out a laugh. “You’re kidding, right?” “It’s not that funny,” I mumble. “It just seems like you’re always so confident. I can’t imagine you caring what other people think.” “Oh, I care what people think.” He picks up a raccoon hat and places it on his head. “I just don’t care what every person thinks about me.

I squeeze my eyes shut in embarrassment. “Yes,” he says, completely deadpan. “I needed to see if doing floral arrangements might be my true calling before pursuing a law career.” “Ignore me, that was stupid.” His eyes meet mine. “I don’t think I could ever ignore you, Macy. That’s part of the problem.”
It’s not that I have a moral issue with drinking, or that I’m a recovering alcoholic, I just don’t want to do it. I wish there wasn’t so much pressure to drink to have a good time.

My thoughts also center around the reception, but more along the lines of how do I avoid talking to Nate? Or how will I give a toast to Evie and Matt if I catch Nate and Lillian mid-canoodle?
mid-canoodle is wild
He’s in a suit while I’m in a t-shirt and shorts. I’m sure there’s a Taylor Swift lyric in there if I try hard enough.
It took me longer than it should have to learn that when tough times come, we don’t get to decide how the people in our lives respond to it.
