“Please don’t call Jakobi,” Emme said. “Ines told me they were going on a midnight harbor cruise to see some special constellation and she was extremely excited.”
Omg stop 😭😍
I leaned in, dropped my voice so no one else could hear. “I’d like nothing more than to take you outside and kick your fool ass around until the only thing you can do is piss yourself and cry for a mother who probably doesn’t like you very much. But my arm is worth more than seventy million dollars a year and you have proven you are worth nothing.” I stared at him for a beat. “If I ever find out that you have so much as breathed in my wife’s direction, I will bring my entire offensive line to your door and teach you about what lies beneath rock bottom.”
💀💀💀
Emme’s breath hitched. “You’re a really good husband.” “Good,” I whispered into her hair. “It’s the only job that matters to me.”
Made me think of an orange blossom’s leaves.”
THAT IS THE TATTOO lI JUST KNOW IT.
“Enough of that.” It could’ve been actual barbed wire and I would’ve treasured it. “Of course I’m going to wear it.”
If she only knew how permanent she’d always been to me.
THE TATTOO IS FOR HER
“I imagine you heard that I pulled my offer last month. Once I realized I was up against my future son-in-law for those teams, I knew it was time to back out.”
God damnit.
It was good that I’d turned away from him. He didn’t deserve my tears.
I'm so fucking pissed.
Ben stopped by with a bunch of takeout menus, pointing out his favorites with the use of his splinted finger.
😂😂😂
Grace: no, you fucking armpit, she’s not all right.
😂😂😂
“No, it’s fucking not, Emmeline. If you’d just give me a minute to explain and—” “Even if I was inclined to let you manipulate me with another story, don’t you think you should stop and look around first?” I asked, surprising myself with the cold venom in my voice. “Do you have any idea where we are right now? Do you understand that this isn’t the time or place? It’s nice that you came all this way and that you’re trying to make a sappy statement about your promises, but I’m here with my friends tonight. I’m sorry if Grace led you to believe I wanted to see you, but I don’t and I’m not doing

I am about to throw this fucking book into a fire...
Students will evaluate symbolism in works of art.
PLEASE BE THE FUCKING TATTOO 😭
“Because it’s always been real for us. Because I fucking love you.”
I AM SOBBING WTF. ALL OF THEM?! OMGGGG 😭💜😍😭😍💜
“I spent all of high school listening to you tell me you’d never date a player.” She chucked the pillow at my head. I caught it and threw it back. “You never asked if that included you.”
😭😭😭
“Emmeline. Listen to me.” I leveled her with a gaze because we just couldn’t fuck around right now. “I have wanted you for half my life. I don’t remember what it’s like to wake up in the morning without thinking about you. Everything good in my life has your fingerprints on it and you’ve been there for me to lean on through all the bad times.” I grabbed my discarded shirt off the floor and held it out for her. “I buy shirts with little orange blossoms on them because I want all the reminders of you I can get. I don’t know who I am without you, and I don’t want to find out.”
“I put you in a terrible position with your dad last weekend and I basically assaulted you tonight, and I swear to god, those are the last two things I ever wanted to do to you.”
she went on as she traced the ink on my shoulder. “What’s this?” Glancing back, I said, “Gemini, for my June baby.”
FUUUUCK
“I promise. I’ve loved you for a long, long time and in a lot of different ways. I’m going to love you in new ways tomorrow and ten years from now. The only life I want is one where I get to do that.”
She closed her eyes for a moment and pulled in a long breath. Then, “I’ve loved you for a long, long time and in a lot of different ways too. And I think”—she ran her hands up my arms, over my shoulders, and clasped her fingers at the back of my neck as she gave me a small, devious smile—“I think it’s a fantastic thing that I had the foresight to make you promise to marry me.”
Grace pointed at me as she ran an assessing glance over Emme. “Do I need to beat him up?” she asked. With a laugh, my wife said, “No, please don’t. There’s been enough bloodshed for one night.” “If you say so,” Grace said, a slur loosening her words. “But I am going to make him sleep in the barn.” “No, you’re not,” Shay said. “You have a worse place in mind?” Grace asked her. “With the goats? You have chickens. What about the chickens? I enjoy punishment and suffering. There must be both.”
“The best there is,” Grace said, still watching us from the doorway. She pointed to me and then made a throat-cutting gesture. “I can dig a deep hole and I don’t believe in second chances.”
😂💀😂💀😂
but we did have the rest of our lives and that was good enough for me.
😭💜😭💜😭💜😭😍😍😍
“No, I must’ve missed that. I’ve had my hands full since giving my wife a bloody nose last night in front of forty people,” I said.
Out of context would be crazy 💀
Noah held up his screen for me. “He started with The Real Househusbands of Rhode Island, but changed it to Wife Guys this morning.”
😂😂😂😂
Little Star
Little Star omg😍😭😍
Redness creeped up Hersberler’s neck and he tugged at his collar. “What are you talking about, man? I didn’t get into any trouble.” “Looked like you were starting some trouble with Ralston’s sister.” My gaze snapped to the tight end. “Excuse me?”
💀💀💀
I heard the smooth strains of harp music in the distance. Surprising no one, Ines was a baller harp player.
💜
She jerked a shoulder up, but she seemed quiet, not like her usual over-the-top self.
Are we getting Jamie's book next?
Jamie motioned to her cheeks. “She’s a little flushed, but it’s probably just the heat getting to her.” I swallowed a laugh at that. I didn’t think it was the heat.
Pregnant...?
“What did you tell them, my love?” “That I’m not pregnant, of course,” she cried. “But it’s not like I can tell them my husband left a remote-controlled vibrator inside me this morning and that he’s been torturing me with it ever since.”
HAHAHA😂😂😂💀💀💀
Her eyes widened as I tucked her panties into my front pocket. “You’re not using my underwear as a pocket square.” “But I am,” I said, rolling up my cuffs.
😳
