Kindle Notes & Highlights
“There is so much history in the way he looks at [him]. In the way he says [his] name. When they are together, there is a current that runs between them; like an electric charge on the verge of erupting into a perfect storm. I don’t love [him] anymore, he says. And it is in the way he says the word, [him]—that tells me otherwise.” — LANG LEAV
I don’t know why but I don’t like that this quote was used just to change all the pronouns. Because then it’s no longer the same quote. It was written about a “her”.
“I’m fine, Nate. Go home to your future ex-husband.”
Oof.
“Is that Alter Arlo by Nordika Night?”
I’m over the references like this. It’s like an almost fourth wall break.
“You remember why your wife kicked her ex-husband’s ass to the curb, right?” I ask calmly, not giving him a chance to respond. “Not because he wronged her, but because he wronged her children.” I pause for dramatic effect. “How do you think she’d react if she knew what you’ve done to her child?”
That’s what I was wondering. Did he think that she would react better to finding out that he forced her son to move to another country than she would’ve? If she found out her son and his stepbrother were dating? You can’t possibly think she would prefer the former over the latter.
“I won’t let your relationship with Easton come between me and my wife.”
So don’t. If that breaks your marriage, then it wasn’t that strong to begin with.
CHAPTER 29 EASTON
Is the present day again?
My vision blurs as I keep reading, taking in every word he wrote, feeling his pain as if it’s my own.
I don’t know whether to call this a typo? But it’s written as if it’s one of the text messages when it should just be regular text in the book.
“Give her time.” “Don’t act like you know what’s best for her. She’s my mother.”
Leave her the hell alone. She wants trying to herself. Why can’t you respect that? She’s a freaking adult.
“You love her more than me.” “No.” He shakes his head firmly. “Not more.
Not true because you chose her feelings over your own son. You watched your son being miserable and we’re OK with that.
I said the five words and tore their marriage apart, just as I feared I would,
Nope. Michael ruined his own marriage.
He chose me. Maybe it wasn’t fate, or destiny, or dumb luck that won me this sweet, perfect guy. Maybe it was Easton who looked at me one day and thought, Him. I want that one. And the universe said, Not sure why, but whatever.
