Kindle Notes & Highlights
The woman sitting all alone at the table my friends and I always occupy is the prettiest fucking thing I’ve ever seen. Long, dirty-blonde hair with golden streaks, full pink lips that naturally lift on the right side, and eyes that I want on me. Stormy ocean-blue ones. The colour of rough waves beneath the helm of a ship.
“A woman like you deserves to dance.”
“A woman beautiful enough to make a grown man’s knees shake at the sight of you. To have him tripping over his feet just to get over to you before someone else swoops in.”
Not once in my life have I experienced anything like this before. Love at first sight or something cheesy like that. Yeah, it’s gotta be. Or close to it.
Will there ever come a time where I don’t skip breakfast and then complain an hour into my shift about how hungry I am? Probably not.
Same girl same lol
“I don’t know about blind, darlin’. I’ve got twenty-twenty vision, and right now, it’s dead focused on you.”
Everyone should start their day with something sweet, darlin.
“You want more coffee? More than just a quick walk from the house to your car? Say the fuckin’ word, gorgeous. I’ve been waiting weeks for the opportunity to give you more than that,”
“Been only one woman on my mind since I saw her, and I’ve been tryin’ to impress her tonight, but maybe I haven’t done a good enough job yet.”
The woman with the sad but fuckin’ prettiest eyes I’d ever seen. I followed the tug I felt between us and only needed one minute with you to know that I made the right choice.”
“I don’t think it’ll be possible to hate you. But if I have to watch you leave, then at least I’ll be able to know that I had my time with you.”
“Name anything you need, and I’m here to help you get it. You’ve got my word,” he says instantly.
“There are always a million excuses as to why we shouldn’t do something. That doesn’t mean that even a single one of them is worth using.
It should be a crime for eyes this beautiful to be so sad.
It’s worth it for the chance to let them know she’s my girl, even if she hasn’t accepted that just yet.
“I’m a homebody. In case you haven’t noticed, people aren’t really my specialty. It’s easier to feel like myself at home.”
I don’t believe in fate or coincidences, yet every single day with you, the universe tries to change my mind.
I know that I’m anti-social on most days, defensive without reason to be, and that I shut down when I’m upset.
“Don’t call me what everyone else does. I’m not everyone else to you anymore.”
I have a million things I want to do, Rory. But my priority is takin’ care of you.”
I’m happy to let her explore every inch of me for the answer. I’d offer her unlimited access to my mind without fear or hesitation.
I’ll bring her there first, like I always will. Always her first, in the bedroom and out of it.
Cherry Peak was exactly where Aurora was supposed to be, and if I have anything to do with it, she’ll be staying for as long as possible.
People you love are supposed to make you want to be the best version of yourself, right? I think that’s what this is.
“Then kiss me in the rain, you helpless romantic,” she demands, voice hoarse and breathless.
“Only yours. I’ll be whatever you want me to be and do whatever you need me to, as long as you’re the only one I do it for.”
“You’re strong and kind and brave. You don’t let events from the past dictate who you’ll be in the future. I love that about you. Fuck, I love everything about you.”
“You make me feel very caveman. Like I should carry you over my shoulder to my lair and keep you there forever.”
“I don’t think I’ll ever think enough is enough with you.”
“You’re my forever girl. My wish on a shooting star,” he says, the words spoken like a prayer. “I’ve been waiting for you.”
“I love you. Your happiness is the most important thing to me. If this will make you happy, then go. You deserve to have everything you’ve ever wanted. I’m not going to stop you.”
Get your answers and your peace because once I get you again, I’m not lettin’ you go again. Not ever.”
“I think everything happened exactly the way it was supposed to. Couldn’t have asked for anything more than what I have right now.”
“Let someone else make a wish. I have everything I need right here.”
“Rory can get a striptease from a fake cop because she’ll be coming back home to ride a real cowboy.”
“Because here, everyone knows you’re mine. And I’ve never wanted to make a statement so publicly in my entire life.”
“It’s you and me forever, darlin’, my wish come true.”
