Kindle Notes & Highlights
I couldn’t imagine myself entangled with someone long enough to want to share a house by the sea with them.
I shook my head, trying to stay on task and not admire how pink her cheeks were. God, she was so beautiful. So out of my fucking league.
Oh, yeah, there was never a world in which I didn’t pine for this woman.
I wasn’t all-in simply because she was beautiful, and my heart sped up every time I knew she was in the vicinity.
Her laugh was brighter and lasted longer. I need to drown in it. To be so entwined that I didn’t know my end and its beginning.
She smelled like how a good daydream felt.
“You’re a great teacher.” I would have learned a lot if she hadn’t been so close and so her.
“He’s shy. And holds her hand whenever he gets anxious.”
“Lincoln, I want you to tell me everything you did wrong,” he said. “Got out of bed this morning, for one,” I muttered.
Who cared about reflexes when the beautiful girl you wanted to spend all your time with needed your help with something?
only I could find a way to spend a little time with her every day. Even if it was only for a few seconds. What I'd give for a second of her time.
I had been honest in letting the idea of us go. Because being even a small part of her life meant everything to me.
"I've been looking forward to seeing you all day, so even if I were busy with something, I'd drop it," I confessed. It's the one thing I can say with my whole chest today, tomorrow, and forever.
I'm so hers I don't know how I've lasted this long without her.
"Do you ever think there will come a day when you understand the magnitude of how much I'm into you?"
"Celeste, everything about you makes me feel like I'm taking both my first and last breath. Every semblance of chill doesn't exist when I hear your name."
"Here's to loving the sweetest person we know." "Here's to making sure she's happy." I touched my cup to hers. "Forever and always."
"I'd give you anything. Everything." "You. You're enough."
"There is no scenario in which I wouldn't have you, Celeste. It's the one thing I know for certain. It's written in the stars or etched in some stone on a remote island. It's all ancient and mystic and true."
This is as natural as breathing. And you're as beautiful as the sunrise."
"Because you make everything feel whole. There's no amount of time I wouldn't wait for you."
"You don't pull me anywhere, Celeste. I willingly followed you out here. I would follow you anywhere and everywhere, every single time. I can barely see straight, and I still followed you."
"You're my world, you know that? Everything that matters is all wrapped in one. So, I'm going to need you to always remember that, especially when every part of you is wrapped in every part of me. Fucking claim me, Celeste. Tell me what you want to do, and it will be done. From the moment I met you, it was done. I was meant to be yours."
