Kindle Notes & Highlights
Technically, that was true. I loved everything about Paige, even her crappy muffins. Apparently, love wasn’t just blind, it also had no sense of taste.
couldn’t help it that every time she looked at me time seemed to slow, and I was briefly transported to an alternate universe, where my deep and secret feelings for my best friend weren’t completely one-sided.
She was the girl I wanted in my life forever, and even if that was only as a friend, it would have to be enough for me.
All I could think was that I’d happily put up with terrible cooking every night for the rest of my life if it meant I could be with Paige.
And she fit so perfectly in my arms, it was like she was made for them.
“You’ve been in love with her for years.” “No, we’ve been friends for years.” “Friends?” Reed shook his head at me. “You don’t look at her like she’s just a friend.” “Of course I do.” “No, Grayson. You look at her like her like she’s everything.”
Gray: Just wear what you had on at the game. You looked perfect. Me: I was wearing your jersey. Gray: Like I said . . . perfect.
“But, the way I figure it, if people stop gossiping about me, it means I’ve gotten boring.
Reed was staring at her with bright, wide eyes. He’d had that look on his face pretty much every day since they’d officially started dating.
My heart was breaking for her, and in my mind I was practically screaming that I wanted her. I’d always wanted her.
She’d know how perfect she was. She’d know she didn’t need cheesy pickup lines or a flirty laugh to catch a guy’s attention. She’d know there was at least one person in the world that wanted her just as she was, and he was standing right in front of her.
“I think if you wear that dress for a second longer, I’m going to forget we’re just friends.”

“What’s your type?” “Short, brown hair, brown eyes, smells like candy . . .”
“I guess, you just get to a point where you wake up, look over at the girl lying next to you, and it just clicks. Nothing else seems to matter but her . . .”
“You told me that people don’t spend enough time looking at the stars. Well, tonight, we have all the time in the world.”
I get butterflies when you enter a room and sparks on my skin when we touch. I’m happiest when I’m with you, and when I’m sad, you’re the person I want by my side. I know you deserve so much better than me. And I don’t want to mess up what we have, but I’ve always believed our friendship can survive anything—including the fact I’ve . . .” I paused, but only for a moment. I refused to let fear take hold of me again. “I’ve fallen in love with you, Paige.”
And I wished that you, no one else, would be my first kiss. Because I’m in love with you too, Grayson. I think I always have been. I just didn’t realize it was love. I thought it was just . . . us.”
“No, Pidge. That was my first kiss too.” “But . . . What? Who?” She blinked. “How is that possible?” “Why would I kiss someone else, when I was waiting for you?”
And right now, my future felt brighter than ever before, because I had a girl who made it all worth fighting for.
I let the star fall without drawing her attention. I’d leave that wish for someone else. We both already had everything we wanted.
