I wink and give him my cheesiest smile
…in the pool!
YOU GOT ME THERE!! Almost gave me a heart attack Poppy ughhhh
Did you think I wouldn’t try to drag you down with me?
That's my girl
when he looks like this and he smiles like that, I almost forget he’s a killer.
Sophie laughs, and I use every precious moment she holds him up to disappear into the mass of students heading for the exit doors, most of whom will probably be on planes and trains within the hour.
Hahahaha yes! exactly what I wanted you to do
“I don’t think I’m hungry anymore. But thanks for the coffee.”
DRAMATIC ! Lol why are you being a little annoying right now?
“Do you trust me?”
“Is that supposed to be a trick question?”
“I’ve got you. Nothing is going to happen, alright?”
“That’d be a lot more comforting if it came from someone who wasn’t you.”
Lol. I love their banter. Also yes, we aren't forgetting that he is a murderer
“You know,” he says, “It’s such a shame you’re here with me and not Cam.”
This jealous psychopath definitely chose to teach her to swim so that he could pull this stunt haha
“You can’t be serious,” I pant out. “I was just joking. I didn’t – I don’t – care about Cam!”
I realize that it’s not my desperation or panic that he’s looking for. He already knows I don’t care about Cam – it doesn’t matter how many times I say it.
There’s something else he wants to hear.
“Adr...

Besides the quiet click-clacking of the computer keys and Adrian’s fingers flipping from page to page, we work in silence.
Why are they so cute?
if you’re going to use the possibility of scandal to threaten a family that doesn’t have any, you should probably think about why they don’t.”
COLD
“I didn’t need to kill Mickey either.
I was beginning to think this revalation was very anticlimactic and the journal was a lame excuse for killing Mickey but OMG OMG he's an actual psycho! so so good!
I’m very much the monster my parents have made me. And their first lesson? When you find a weed in the garden, you pull it out by the roots.”
“Mutually assured destruction,”
“I suppose it’ll have to do.”
…an interesting development.
Interesting indeed! I was almost positive the rose was from Adrian
Felt the tension through their entire argument. This chapter…whoo😮💨
he’s jealous.
Yup
His first real friend.
The fourth florist’s roses are as dark as Adrian’s eyes.
Okay Adrian …4 florists? That’s overkill
“So say yes or I’ll make a scene so bad this entire room will be begging for your expulsion before the day’s over.”
Of course he would
He’s all smiles, but his eyes tell me he means every word. So I say yes.
Sorry Freddy :(
“I like you, sweetheart. I like you a lot. We’re not friends. We’re going to be more than that.”
“You say that like you’ve already decided it.”
My thoughts exactly!!
“Well, you’re right on one account. I’m not thinking very clearly,” he huffs, his voice thick with frustration. “Which is the problem. I’m always thinking clearly. I don’t worry. I don’t get emotional. I am always in control. Of everything. Except when it comes to you. You do this to me.”
“This morning, when you looked at him, it took every ounce of my self-control to avoid walking over to Freddy Rook and bashing his skull in till he was no longer worth looking at. You do this to me.”
“Obviously. That’s why I’m letting you know how I feel.”
Cracking up at how he just decides
“Just for you. For the sole crime of thinking he ever had a chance with you. Don’t tell me that kind of devotion doesn’t interest you.”
evidence that some part of me – maybe subconscious, maybe only physical – is attracted to this sort of dark, twisted toxicity.
“I’m not going to let you take away my choices.”
“I have no intention to,”
“You can choose to keep Freddy around. You can even choose to pursue him romantically if you wish. I just don’t think you’ll like the ...

I can’t stop worrying that if I let you slip through my fingers – even for a moment – you’ll decide you’re done with me, and there will be nothing I can do to convince you otherwise. And it’s terrifying.
Terrified that you may do the same thing you’re so worried I’m going to do: wake up and decide you’re done with me.
as if anticipating my rejection, his grip tightens –
Uggggghhhh pulling my heart strings. Poor baby
“Do my ugly parts scare you?”
“I don’t know.”
