Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I think marrying my best friend—the girl from back home, the one the media called my high school sweetheart in all of the Heisman packages because there are so damn many photos of us together after my games, the one who waited all this time for me to find my way back to her—will do the fucking trick.”
“I’ve always admired your vindictive side.” “The basis of all good marriages.”
I was so fucked it wasn’t even funny.
This was going to ruin me. I knew it.
CeCe: I wouldn’t worry about babies. With the way he’s looking at her in these photographs, that horse might already be trotting down the lane
Hilarious
“This probably isn’t what you had in mind for yourself and I am sorry for that but believe me when I say there is no one else in the world I’d rather marry. I just hope there’s some part of you that wants to marry me.”
The truth was I didn’t have an exit strategy with Emme. My best guess was that it would blow up in my face and destroy every shred of connection we shared. But if that didn’t happen and we managed to survive the next few months, maybe we’d keep the fun going a little longer. Maybe we’d just stay together. Forever.
“I can’t keep my drawers on when there’s tequila involved,” Jamie said. “Honey, you don’t keep your drawers on when there’s water involved,” Audrey said. “That’s true,” Jamie mused.
“I don’t want to lose you,” she repeated. “That’s my bottom line. When I think about the end of the summer, when your deals are closed and Grace is married, I get scared because I know this will end and I can’t lose you in the process.”
“I thought you wanted to get this over with as quickly as possible. That you were just counting down the days and…and when your deal is done, we’ll be done. And it hurts whenever I think about it because I love you, Ryan, and I miss you when you’re not with me but I know I’ll break if we spend the next month in bed together and then it’s just over. I don’t want to break and I don’t want to lose you. I can’t.”
extremely rude for you to make me feel my own feelings
“It’s so sweet that you ended up with Ryan after all these years,” she drawled. “But don’t let that fool you. They all cheat. It’s never a matter of if, it’s when. They just can’t help it. You wouldn’t believe the amount of women throwing themselves at these boys.”
“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.”
“Muggsy, you can do anything you want to me and I’ll sit here, happy as a fuckin’ clam.” I cupped her breasts, my thumbs sweeping over her nipples. I needed to spend more time with those beauties. “But you should know I’m never not thinking about fucking you.”
“I used to think the worst thing that could happen to me would be losing you. But now I see it’s not losing you that hurts. It’s losing everything we had. It’s losing the past fifteen years of my life.”
That I’d told him where I stood, and even if I really appreciated the save tonight, I couldn’t do this with him.
