Kindle Notes & Highlights
I try to look as penitent as I can while wearing gym shorts and the “I <3 BJ” T-shirt my cousin Rex got for me in Beijing last year.
Lmao
something classier than a table that I had to use three Clorox wipes on to get all the pencil-drawn penises off its surface.
Yeah you definitely teach middle school
He seems to believe that homework is an ‘antiquated practice used to make young people miserable,’”
He's not wrong
If I didn’t think my godson was meant to play basketball, video games, and be the otherwise untouchable prince of the family, I would say that he was meant to lead. Perfect heir potential if he wasn’t too good for this world.
Honey, how do you think you're going to manage when it's *your* kid intended to lead the mafia ring?
I can’t shake the feeling that it’s someone who knows how we work.
Leo's the obvious choice if going for a gut-punch reveal. Cillian for slightly less impact but I suspect he'll be the enemies to lovers book with the little sister. Older sister's MIL seems too easy but is a possibility
I blink at his use of my first name after so much Ms. Morelli, and further, at his assumption that I’ve never murdered anyone.
In fairness, murder is quite an unusual hobby amongst us non-mafia folk
The text exchanges were brief. I gave her my address, told her she could wear whatever she wanted, but I for one would be in my best. I over-thought this one to death before clarifying that I was joking and would not be wearing my very best, just my almost-best, and whatever she wanted to wear would be perfect. But probably not white. She’d sent back a “Haha” and I overanalyzed it for an hour.
I love this man
gummy bears, nerds, and sour gummy worms mixed into a strawberry ice cream.
The gummies turn rock hard when frozen :(
“But what if I hurt you?”
Nate, sweetheart, you couldn't hurt that woman if she were tied up and half drugged
Cillian doesn’t answer at first, but moves his hand over my knee, his fingertips barely brushing the bare skin there. I meet his eyes, so piercing blue with the afternoon sun lighting up his face through the windows.
Damn. He's gonna end up being the rat and I like him
Cillian finds a chair and talks with Claire, never joining the fun, even when Claire leaves him to paddle some laps back and forth.
This is why Cillian didn't make the list
hundreds of dollars’ worth of clothes picked out just for me
Oh, honey. Custom shirt, trousers, shoes, belt, and I'm guessing watch and cufflinks? There's *at least* $10K of clothing and accessories on your body right now.
He stares hard at my face for a moment, a battle of wills, but I haven’t once backed down to Cillian Donovann since my father died, and I don’t plan on starting now. It’s what keeps us on common ground.
See, Cillian's just too obvious a villain. This is a romance so it could still be him, but he seems more like the decoy. His mum, maybe, or I still think Leo or Mary for the gut punch effect. Ronaldo if going for another obvious villain
His wife looks familiar, though I cannot place why.
Ah shit, is that Jenna's kinda girlfriend? Because that'd suck but also explain a lot. Also, Jenna is another suspect for the gut punch
“I wonder, Mary, if you’d like to dance?” Maxim asks.
Well. That takes Cillian off the enemies to lovers track. Looks like we've got our blazingly obvious rat
I’ll do another pass in the morning.
If someone does not end up with glass in their feet this mention is an absolute waste
A gust of wind picks up some of the smoke and pushes it in the other direction so now I can see that the thing in front of me is not a thing at all, but a person, a tall man in all black holding a gun in my direction.
That'd be Cillian
stare at the man, about to correct him when he catches the eye of someone he knows and excuses himself. Surely he misspoke. No way would that man pay over $430 million after the fight he put up—but 600?
::sigh:: Cillian really was too obvious of a choice but I guess that's where we are
She graduated with a bachelor's in technology engineering and an MFA in creative writing, both from BYU.
Did not think Mormons were allowed to write this kind of thing
