Kindle Notes & Highlights
Is there a greater pain than mascara on your eye?
Further evidence that she is affected by me too, proving our attraction is not one-sided.
I lie to myself about how I don’t want to miss out on her vlogs when I appear in them.
“I like your laugh. It’s cute,”
Unfortunately for her, people like me thrive in the shadows.
With Maya, the most beautiful thing about her is how her eyes light up with happiness when she grins, an infectious smile that makes my lips turn up every time.
“What are the chances of dying of a heart attack at twenty-three? Seriously, you’re googling this? I didn’t know I had such an effect on you. You flatter me.”
“Did I tell you that you look beautiful today?”
“You look stunning today.”
“Hmm, weird. It looks like the same color as my eyes. But maybe I’m wrong, just seeing things.” “That’s often a sign of narcissism. You should get yourself checked out when you have a chance. I don’t do everything to appease you.”
“If it were another life, I’d probably do right by you. I’d take you on dates and try harder. But that’s not who I am or how I was raised. I don’t know how to be the kind of emotional guy you desire.”
“They’ll never be as good as what we could have. But this is why people like you never have happily-ever-afters. You’re so jaded, you can’t see the best things until it’s too late.”
“Fear is not always a weakness. It’s what you do with the fear that shows your true strength.
“Not giving it my best and failing. Disappointing her and not being able to be there when she needs me. Breaking her heart and mine in the process. The thought of giving someone power over me…”
I don’t deserve her, but screw anyone else who tries.
“You can’t miss what you’ve never had.”
I want to ruin her for any man who dares to try to come after me.
She gives me what is hands down the most gorgeous smile I’ve ever seen, one meant only for me.
“I didn’t fuck around with her. I love her. I’ll keep loving her through everything, no matter what you or anyone else says or whatever you try to do to break us up. It’s insulting for you to even think I’d be with Maya to fuck around with your racing. She’s the endgame. I don’t hook up with her for a shitty trophy, and sure as fuck not for a championship win. I want everything with her. Everything after this.”
“Hmm, there’s an amazing driver with the number twenty-eight on his car. But he won’t overtake the driver in front of him. What’s going on?”
“Tell me more about this great driver. I don’t know if I see him out here.”
“They say Noah Slade’s basically the best. Likes to break records, on the racetrack and in the bedroom. You gotta be careful with him.”
Religious people—all shy and shit.
