Kindle Notes & Highlights
Now, he’s just someone that I used to love.
All I can think about is how I’d like to climb him like a tree and shake his coconuts.
The last girl I had this strong of a pull toward was my high school girlfriend. I loved Tanya with everything I was, and if she were still alive, she and I would be married. I know that in the depths of my soul. She was taken too soon, leaving me unable to move on.
This is why I don’t like to drink. I can only imagine the crap that came out of my mouth. I already know I clung to him like a barnacle on the hull of a ship, why not make it worse?
When the people you love hate the person you choose, it’s like being torn in half.
as much as I want him to tell me I’m right and walk away, I don’t. I want someone to fight for me—just once.
“Maybe you’re right. Maybe neither of us needs any more complications, but you’re the only thing I want.”
“Do you like that, sweetheart?” Do I sound like I don’t? I’m a mix between a cat meowing and a sheep baa-ing.
If wine and chocolate had a baby, it would be called Noah, both are satisfying and do my body good.
“You’re not some easy lay for me. I don’t need easy. I don’t care that you’re divorced from some asshole who treated you like shit. You’ve got a past, and so do I. If I thought for one minute you cared about money, we never would’ve made it past the first night. As for you being awkward, that’s what makes you perfect.”
“You’re more than just one night for me, Noah. You’re the whole damn thing, and that scares me. I don’t want to be scared anymore.”
She can be nervous because I’m not, for fifteen years I’ve searched for her. Now that I’ve found her, there’s nothing I won’t do. “I have enough courage for the both of us.”
If fear is the only voice I listen to, I’ll never have the life I want. The only four-letter word I want yelling in my head is hope. Hope that I can have more. Hope that love will be something I share again. Hope that Noah will be careful with my heart.
“I love you, Kristin. I love you, and I know it’s too soon, but it’s how I feel. I don’t need you to say—” “I love you, too.” The words come out without a thought. I opened my mouth to say something else, and I couldn’t stop myself. I love him.
If I could’ve climbed through the computer and have him assault me with his weapon of mass destruction, I would have.
Oh, for fuck’s sake. My son, the player in training. I should apologize now to the females of his future. I take no credit for that one. He inherited his stupid from his father. The other bad habits are from Noah. I gave him life, brains, and then they ruined him.
“Aww.” I rub the back of his neck. “You got a refill of Viagra?” Noah’s mouth falls, and he goes expressionless. “You know I don’t, and will not ever, need that.” I giggle at the tone he takes. As if I wasn’t fully aware. “I know, babe. Your wand works just fine.” “Damn right. I’ll Slytherin to your Hufflepuff tonight if you need me to remind you.”
