Rewind It Back (Windy City, #5)

by Liz Tomforde

I think if I worked as hard as Hallie does, maybe even I’d be able to sleep. When I take our exit, I change my mind and get right back on the expressway. God knows I’m not going to get any sleep tonight anyway, so she may as well. I take note of the song that’s playing and keep on driving.

Im gonna cry

“You single, Hal?” I finally give him the long-awaited answer, nodding to tell him yes. “Good.” He takes a slow predatorial step towards me, tone sharp and leaving no room for question. “Because we aren’t fucking friends.”

“I love that dress on you, baby.” “Thank you. It’s⁠—” “Take it off.”

I’m not going to run away because where could I go? Hallie, you’re in here.” I tap my chest. “Regardless of the years we spent apart, you’re still in here.” She’s trying to hold back her smile, which seems like a good sign. “Are you sure that’s not just a first-love thing?” “No, baby. It’s a last-love thing.”

Im gonna freak out

“I’ve only ever been with you.”

IM GONNA CRY

“Rio, playing for Boston is your childhood dream.” I shake my head. “You’re my childhood dream.”
