Kindle Notes & Highlights
The scene from Field of Dreams where his dad shows up in the cornfield certainly does. “Sometimes.”
Lucie Stone: You guys, Aiden told me he watches YouTube videos and cries. Aiden Valentine: [sighs] Lucie Stone: Big, fat tears. Aiden Valentine: What’s the point of a secret if you’re going to share it with the world? Lucie Stone: [laughter] Aiden Valentine: It’s not funny. Lucie Stone: Then why are you smiling?
He told me he knew he could get me on a date if he just fed me all the right lines. That women like me were predictable. That I was self-important and unrealistic. That someone who had a kid should be grateful for any attention at all. That I shouldn’t be trying to dictate the parameters of anything. That I was damaged goods.
“Ah, Lucie.” Aiden smiles, his fingers fanning out wide against my back. “I’d know you anywhere.”
Aiden Valentine: Welcome back to Heartstrings, Baltimore. We missed you over the weekend. Lucie Stone: We really did. You guys make life more interesting. Lucie Stone: What did you get up to this weekend, Aiden? Aiden Valentine: Oh, you know. A little bit of this, a little bit of that. Lucie Stone: Anything fun? Aiden Valentine: I had lots of fun. What about you? Lucie Stone: You know what? I had some fun too.
