Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I was going to come talk to you after your ride,” Walker finishes despite my plea.
You could have talked to him after his hospital stay or any time in the past eight years.
The emotions that surge through me are so powerful, I can’t stay seated any longer. I cycle through them quickly, pissed that she’s kept this from me, scared because what the fuck, relieved because one of my biggest regrets doesn’t have to be regretted anymore, and some other emotion that feels positive, but I’m hesitant to label it as joy or happiness over this news.
I’m sorry, but it is one of the shittiest things in the world to keep the news of somebody’s child from them. You have to be a terrible person to be okay with that. The only reason that would be acceptable is if they could be a harm to you or your child. How can she be okay with this? The guilt would eat me alive. It hurts your kid.
“Don’t go there, Walker,” Jonas warns.
What a dick. You have no say in his love life.
“You’ve got demons. Stop running from them and start talking to them, or they’ll end up as the only company you keep.”
Knox is so wise.
Just to test the limits and see what I can do…I try the buttons on both my shirt and my jeans only to discover that the twisting motion is absolutely not happening for me anytime soon.
Come on. There’s no way you can’t take a shirt off one handed. Buttons are not *that* complicated.
“I’m not mad,” I say, cutting her off. “Shocked and a little scared, maybe, but not mad.”
You should be.
“Shit, Lexi, I’m so fucking sorry for everything.”
She should be the one who is sorry. It kind of makes her a crappy parent to not even give her son the chance of having a dad. Or a male role model. Or give Walker the chance to choose for himself if he wants to be involved.
“I hope you know I’ve never been angry with you,”
You shouldn’t have a right to be anyway.
“How could I be mad at you when I left you alone and took off for the rodeo, Lex? I left you alone in an impossible situation, forcing you to deal with it on your own.
Because. She. Should. Have. Told. You.
“About as long as I plan to film myself sitting on Phoenix’s face once you let go of his leash.”
Gross to imply you’ll be having sex with him when he has NOT invited you to.
Does he think I left him on purpose? Does he think I don’t love him?
See? That’s what you’re doing to your kid by not telling them!
Any comment I was going make is cut off
Typo. Going to* make.
“You’re already our boy’s hero, baby. All you have to do is climb on and have fun.”
Love when a future step-parent refers to their partner’s kid as mine or ours.
I’m just…what if it’s not what he wants? Of course, that’s a possibility with any proposal, but I have to know.
Normally you should have talked about marriage before a proposal so you should have an idea of their answer.
“Yeah, keeping Knox from offing himself has become a full-time job,”
That’s kind of a crappy joke to make.
I don’t get upset about comments like that. I know Hudson has had his own dark days and I’m truly glad that he’s carefree enough now to make the joke lightly, even if it is a bit insensitive to whatever Knox is going through.
Exactly!
Or maybe that’s his just sweat.
Typo. Just* his* sweat.
