Kindle Notes & Highlights
This is not a drill, I need to exit through the emergency doors right this instant.
Not to mention I’ll do it all with a wink, a smile, and my bad bitch boots.
I’m going to need some help to get a feel for the lay of the land, cowboy. So do you fancy rummaging around in that vocabulary of yours for a few more words than just yes or no?”
It’s official: Sage is a certified baddie
“Nope, sorry, that’s outta the question. Proper food. Them’s the rules.”
Lord have mercy
“Sounds like Sergeant Maloney here is about to go for our nuts and make steers out of all of us.” “Only if you use your manners and ask me very politely.”
Except, in the here and now, one thing that is impossible to ignore in this scenario is how coupley it is.
Someone is down bad crying at the gym
Layla decides to really make a nuisance of herself and hops into the conversation with a drowsy yawn.
Ay ay ay not too much on my girl Layla now
“Christ, Heartford, you’ve got the world’s biggest fucking blanket over there; quit being a selfish bastard, and share with Sage.”
You guys i think Kayce is back on his cupid shenanigans
I swear to god, he nearly leaped up to run off and join the nearby cows the first time his jeans brushed up against my bare thigh.
The giggled I just giggled
“I said I was a bit out of practice, baby. Not that I didn’t know what I was doing.”
RUNNING AWAY
A perfect storm of never feeling good enough, while also refusing to be seen as weak for needing anyone’s help.
Girl say it louder for the folks in the back
She dons her bad bitch boots, channels her inner rockstar, and lives her life to the fullest.
YASSSS IT’S HOT GIRL SUMMER
“Fucking hell, sugar. You look like you wanna come over here and shove that pool cue somewhere. Got it real bad, huh?”
Storm hun you are about to get your ass beat
My phone vibrates on the nightstand, bringing a little heat to my cheeks when I see who’s name is illuminated on-screen.
I just made the most inhuman noise
“Oh, shoot… I left my phone with my fucks to give. They’re somewhere back at my cabin.”
JEEZ
Nope. I’m not going to let any man tell me what to do.
Damn straight
“You know I get a little extra naughty—I mean, perfectly well-behaved—when tequila is involved.”
Teheh
“Has anyone ever mentioned that you look exactly like that washed-up rodeo dude? Beau Heartford? Heard he used to spend more time grooming his mustache than actually getting on the back of a bull.”
I love the stache slander
“Apparently. Heard he’s an asshole who hates coming to things like this, though. Guess you must be mistaken, ma’am.”
Swoon and he can handle the ribbing😭
“You’re my sunset sky, baby. Bright and mysterious and beautiful all at the same time.”
I swear if this woman calls me cute or little one more time, I’m not going to be held responsible for the cutesy little blood bath this kitchen might turn into.
Girl dont worry I bail you outta jail
It just goes to show, there is gold to be found regardless of whether someone has the proof of whether they’re actually capable.”
EXCUSE ME
Then, there’s the way this woman has steamrolled right through any boundaries about who I work for, or the nature of my business contract here.
Girl if you dont hit her with the “you’re not the boss of me”, i will
The need to run.
LET’S GO GIRLS HEY SIRI PLAY THE BOLTER BY TAYLOR SWIFT
Mandy forcefully tugs on my arm, jerking my body toward hers, and in that god-awful second, her lips meet mine.
I literally just yelled “EW”
Filled with fire and determination, and the first hint that beneath that hardening of her exterior, is the Sage I’m beyond in love with.
It doesn’t matter what the question might be. I’ve already said yes.
My throat burns as I take a grounding breath, then answer.
GIRL WHY WOULD YOU ANSWER THE PHONE
I want you to trust that when shit gets heavy, you can put it down and know I’m already right there picking everything up.
Guys am i gonna cry…
