Kindle Notes & Highlights
But because I was dyslexic, I had a hard time reading new material out loud without stumbling, and it made me feel like a fucking idiot, so when we bought new books, I read them to myself a few times before I read them out loud to her. It helped.
Adorable
The woman Dusty was in love with was the mother of Gus’s child. Did they ever talk about that? Probably not. Men.
Some people like to crack open a cold beer at the end of a hard workday. Me? I like a crisp Diet Coke.
Amen, Teddy
I thought he was beautiful, and that’s all I remembered thinking before he brought his mouth down on mine.
He didn’t make another move. He was waiting for me to do it. And I did.
Throughout my life, Gus had often been hard for me to like, but he’d never been hard for me to trust.
“August Ryder,” I breathed as I sat up. “Are you offering me a mustache ride?”
Gus smoothed two of his fingers over his mustache and said, “Saddle up, baby.”
Dead.
“If getting suffocated by your perfect cunt is the way I go, then let me,” he said. “Now sit on my face. I want my last supper.” He gripped my hips and pulled me down.
In the ground.
I didn’t have to be Teddy the daughter or the caretaker or the best friend or the flirt. Here, with him, I could just be Teddy.
I don’t know how or when it happened, but Teddy Andersen made me want something for myself: her. I wanted her. And it terrified me.
“I know you, Gus,” Cam said. “And if you’ve let your guard down enough that Riley was able to sneak a peek at you and a woman holding hands, when I can’t even remember the last time I saw you give a woman the time of day, I’m going to bet something’s going on.”
“I thought Luke Brooks would’ve fucked that gag reflex right out of you by now,” I quipped.
😂
“Maybe I’ve never taken anybody else seriously because no one has ever taken me seriously, but Gus does.
I wanted them to know that Theodora Andersen was mine.
“Luke is my fiancé, my partner, my everything. But you’re my soulmate, Teddy Andersen, and I’m the luckiest girl in the world because of it.”
“Graham isn’t coming. He’s called it off.”
So ready for the next one
