Kindle Notes & Highlights
The date on the monitor overhead shows December eighth—the same date we left Sydney… nearly twenty-four hours ago. It’s as if time stood still while we traveled, not wanting us to miss a minute.
But she left—me… Willow… She left us.
I didn't like her from the moment I met her lol Breck and Willow deserve better 🥺

Not to mention she’s Wes’s little sister—one who’s eight years younger than me. Yeah, wrong.
8?? dude..
The girls walk ahead of me, hand in hand, like it’s the most natural thing in the world.
can help him get settled without thinking about his sharp jawline and deep-cut dimples, or the way his lips look when they… Nope. Rein it in.
If my broken, useless heart could feel something for anyone besides Willow right now, I think it would fall for Rory with the way she’s taking a bit of the burden off my shoulders.
I should not be looking at her lips.
I guess I thought by the time I was twenty-seven, my life would look a little different. A little less lonely.
same girl
my eyes are drawn to the corner, as if by an invisible tether.
“I don’t know…” Her lips tip up in a half smile and she says, “He’s pretty goofy if you ask me.”

“Sorry, Grey. I’m coming,” Wes calls back, using his favorite endearment for his fiancée.

Too close. We’re too close.
Wes laughs hard, muttering “daddy”

“You should know though, as much as I love you, if you hurt my sister for real, not just this miscommunication bullshit, I’ll punch you for real.”
I can’t see his face, but I can imagine it.
I absolutely love that this book takes place before epilogue and then butts up just before the epilogue starts

“What does she mean you have experience with elopements?”
I wanna fight her
Bloody hell. I’m surrounded.

He moves his hand, but not to grab the second shot. Instead, he takes my hand and brings his mouth down to lick the salt from it before his lips find the shot glass and he shoots it back.
He hasn’t broken eye contact since he first touched my hand
and I nearly expire on the spot. Damn, that was hot.
“Bloody hell.”
this girl ☠️
The first firework explodes above us, and I claim her mouth with mine.
!!!!
“Did you think I wouldn’t keep an eye on you? We both know the kind of creatures this town sees during the holidays.”
“If we only get a minute, will you kiss me?”
Do you ever do that? Overthink every little thing? It feels like that’s all I do these days.”
“I overthink everything, so you’re in good company.”
“Do you, um, have a habit of making out with your friends in alleyways?
“More than just shrimp on the barbie?”

“A little bit of snow? A little bit of snow? There’s at least a foot and a half out there. Six inches might be doable, but eighteen…”

Then her face falls and she goes back to her book, saying under her breath, “Nothing feels normal these days.”

“You’re not imposing. You’re invited.” He leans down close, breath coasting against my ear. “Wanted.”
“You were a good investment for that property. If you become a risky investment, we might have to reconsider.”
omfg. how can I reach into a book and knock someone out
They called her a fucking investment?
“Why does that make you sad?” “Because it’s rare that anyone does.”
So long as you’re fighting to move forward, you’ll never be a failure. Never.”
Wes’s eyes bulge, and he opens and closes his mouth a couple times.

A coolness I’ve rarely heard in Wes’s voice fills the space. “You and Breck what?”
