Kindle Notes & Highlights
Looking back on it, it’s weird thinking about the moments you don’t realize are important. The sentences, the touches, the actions that seem so innocent in that second, you take them for granted. The words that make water into wine in the course of your life. But I would never forget the way his words made me feel. The way he made me feel right then.
“Mostly though, Rubes, I want to go back in time and beat every single person’s ass who’s ever made you doubt yourself, because the girl who makes me smile ‘til my face hurts even on a shit day needs to see that in herself. I feel like I owe it to you.”
“I was a goner from the first time you gave me hell.” Aaron smiled. “Maybe even before then.”
“You are so goddamn special, Ruby. I’ll tell you every day if I have to.”
“You’re not crazy. You’re the best, and you deserve better than me, but I hope you don’t care.”
What was love if it wasn’t just a single word people used to try and describe something that wasn’t easily explained or grown in one action or declaration?
