Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I hope one day I’ll see you again, but until then, I’ll think of you whenever I look up at the moon.”
Nova Simmons had always been my wish upon a star. And that’s why she would never be mine.
The moon brought him home, just like the tide, but that doesn’t really mean a thing.
“Some people are worth the risk, Lincoln. You just have to decide who you want to take that chance with.”
Lincoln will always be like the moon—so close, yet just out of my reach.
“Well, I guess we’re just going to have to get you a new jersey,”
he got her and her daughter a jersey with his number on it😭
I would have reached out, I would have tried to convince you to come to Orchid City with me, and that’s not fair to you.”
“You were in college working on your degree. I may be selfish, but I’m not a fucking asshole. I would have never asked you to give up your dreams while I chased my own.”
“While you’ve been counting stars and studying the phases of the moon, I’ve been studying you—only you.”
“I always tried to keep my distance out of respect for your brother, but you’ve always been the only person I see. In a crowded room or in an empty one, it’s always you, Nova. You’re a permanent fixture inside my mind.”
But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want to be the one he decided to do something with.
nova the woman you are😭
“I’m in love with you, Nova.” He lets out a sigh of relief and the softest of laughs. “God, I’ve been in love with you for as long as I can remember, and I’m done fighting it.”
“My sister and her daughter deserve the goddamn universe, Lincoln.
“I’ve loved you for as long as I can remember. Even when I didn’t think you would ever feel the same way, I still hoped it would happen. Even when I tried to move on, you were still my wish for every full moon.”
You’re a forever kind of love, Nova. Your love is soft and slow, yet it creeps into your heart in unsuspecting ways, until you’re nestled deep within the fibers of someone’s soul. I never stood a chance against you, Nova Simmons.”
