Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I long to have the confidence of a mediocre man telling his smoking-hot girlfriend she could be better.”
“You are alarmingly good at this,” I say. Nate’s face turns, showing only half of his charming smile. “Oh, honey, I’m just getting started.” No words have ever terrified me more.
“First impression, I thought Carly was the most beautiful woman I’d ever seen. Big blue eyes and a gorgeous smile. She intimidated the heck out of me.”
“Then Carly spoke, and I realized what a pain in the butt she is.”
My work nemesis is in his redemption arc. And I’m falling for it hook, line, and sinker.
“It’s complicated, but”—a giant smile appears, creating a knot of jealousy in my stomach—“I think she might be the one. I just have to convince her of that first.”
But I’d rather lie than tell Nate I’m falling for him.
Nah, no pressure. I already know how I feel about you. The pressure is on me to convince you I’m worth taking a risk on.
“You were prickly, so despite being beautiful, I didn’t like you much. But fighting with you started to feel a lot like falling for you, so I didn’t mind our arguments. I thought they were kind of fun.”
Joy is a different kind of happiness. It’s deeper and more lasting. An internal feeling of peace and contentment. It’s not just about feeling good in the moment; it’s about something more steady and fulfilling. And it’s that feeling of joy that makes me realize I’m in love with Nate Farnsworth.
But I couldn’t have asked for a better ending. I wanted it to be Nate. I wanted it to be Nate so badly.
