Kindle Notes & Highlights
“We’re pregnant Brooks. I’m having your baby.” My heart pounds. “Sara Langfield, say it again.” Her cheeks go rosy as her grin widens. “We’re having a baby, Brooks. We made a baby.”
“Of course, Brooks. Where you go, I follow.” He chuckles as he bends to press his lips to mine. But before kissing me he says, “You’ve got it all wrong, Sar. I’ve been following you around for years, and I plan to do it for the rest of my life.”
“Pretty sure my brother bought every house on this street years ago and has been saving them for each one of us.”
“You are not broken. And you and Vivi are more than enough, Peaches. You are the love of my life. The only reason I ever even wanted kids to begin with. A life with you is all I need.”
“I want you to watch how I fuck up into you, Peaches. I want you to see the way my body needs you. The way you open for me. I know I’m your one and only, so you don’t know this, but baby, it’s not always like this. In fact it’s never been like this for me with anyone but you. You’re not only enough, you’re it. Without you, I’m not enough. Without us, my life was a shallow void.”
What Beckett wants us to say is that he did the right thing. That Sienna needs to get over it. And I do think he did the right thing; it just went epically wrong. And Sienna knows that. She knows that Beckett never intended things to work out this way. That’s actually why he did what he did. But that’s a story for another day. And not my story to tell.
So about that brownstone… Beckett: As I was saying, I saved the best for last.
“That they do. But after hearing all of our stories, they think our relationships would make for some great books.” I have to agree. I’d read the shit out of us if we were a series.
I’d be everyone’s favorite book boyfriend. Just think about it: I’m the broody billionaire CEO with three annoying brothers, clearly the best looking one of the bunch, and I pined for Livy for over ten years. It doesn’t get better than that.”
After five years of scheming and planning, I finally have my own compound with all my favorite people, but even more than that, my kids are surrounded by a village of people who will drop everything to help them.
The idea that you make your own family. That the people you let into your day-to-day life don’t have to be blood, and sometimes, if you’re really lucky, the brothers you grew up with turn out to be your best friends too.
