Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Good. Now I can leave. I fucking hate these things. I’ll watch you win from the hotel.” Turns out he wasn’t accompanying his dad at all. He was playing matchmaker.
“I’ve also recently met two small children whose strength and good nature make me want to be in their company always. I’ve met a man who loves me at my lowest of lows, who is my number-one fan. West, I love you.” I hold the award up in West’s direction and his cheeks are bright red but he still blows me a kiss back. Cheers and hoots ring out and all the words I planned to say flow from my lips.
Ollie? Emmy?” I hold the award up to the camera in front of me. “This one’s for you. See you at home.”
“Skylar.” I can hear the warning tone in West’s voice and it just makes me smile. “That goose is not your friend.” “Then why is he friend-shaped?”
He told me once he wanted to be just as brave as Skylar.
I’d give up every bit of fame For moonlights by the water And the way you whisper my name
You’re all the orange skittles Every lyric in a love song A safe place to rest my weary bones A shelter from the storm, I have never flown this high And my smile has a truthful tone
I can’t stop the fighting now, No more lonely nights in hopeless towns, No more empty promises or lies Just the way you love my wild eyes It’s the only thing that matters Only home I need to know If we’re better together Take my hand, let’s end the show I’m finally home, You’re my forever home. We’re finally home, It’s a forever home.
The sun is shining. The roads are quiet and… “Do you know what today is, Skylar?” I ask as we round a rocky corner. “Saturday,” she replies, grinning proudly. I scoff. “You know that’s not what I meant.”
“Skylar Stone. I met you in this exact spot one year ago. I knew it then, and I know it now: You are my person. Everything is better when we do it together. You’re home to me. Would you do me the incredible honor of being my wife?” “Yes!” She practically knocks me over with her enthusiasm.
