Kindle Notes & Highlights
A laugh spills out of her, and it sure is a pretty sound.
“Remind me never to piss you off. You know how to hold a grudge.” “Dude.” He tugs on my jacket. “Dude.” I take out my earphone and glance at him with one eye open. “You’re incredibly needy.” “Probably because I was abandoned as a child and I’m making up for it as an adult. That’s what my therapist says.” “Fuck you for making me feel like an asshole.”
That the therapy I’ve been doing since my mom’s death is working, but I still feel like I’m this ball of emotion who loves people too fiercely, who cares too deeply, who wonders if my brain might be hardwired wrong.
Hudson lowers himself to his knees again and sits back on his heels. “Take the shoes off, Galloway.” I find an open chair and take off my sneakers. “You’re sure on the ground a lot tonight.” “I don’t mind.” His mouth hitches up in a smirk. “There are worse places to be.”
In this position, if you fall, I’ll fall too. And I’ll soften the blow for you, Madeline.”
Hudson is asleep on the couch, and his body takes up all the cushions. Next to him, Lucy is curled against his chest. Her face is buried in his shirt and his left arm is wrapped around her, as if he’s keeping her from falling off the sofa. Gus and Millie are on the floor beneath them, snoozing soundly.
“I know you’re all sick of hearing me say it, but I’m thankful for my Emmy girl. Through the good. The bad. You’re always by my side, and I can’t believe I get to do life with you. This year has tested the heck out of us, but I love you more than I did yesterday, and I’m going to love you even more tomorrow. Thank you for choosing me, baby. You know I’m always going to choose you.”
