Married. Me and Rip. Pssh.
“It’s all right, baby girl,” they started. “You’re a good girl.” “A nice girl.” “The nicest.” “Sweetest.”
“No, she can’t, and you’re not coming,”
“Luna’s going with me,”
“Red. Blood red.”
I’m sure I looked up at him with my mouth open in surprise.
“That’s why I… that’s what happened yesterday. Just wanted to say thanks for what you did.”
Man, I loved him.
“This is a shitty place to meet a stranger, baby girl.”
“You doing anything for lunch?” “She’s gonna be busy,”
BOOM SHAKALAKA
“Luna’s gonna be busy tomorrow too.”
“It’s my business. You are my business.”
“Luna. I’m tired, baby.”
“Why don’t you sleep in here too?”

“You kill me, girl,” he murmured in the roughest voice I’d ever heard. “I swear to God, you’re a fucking puzzle I thought was all in the box, but every damn day I find a piece or two hidden all over the place.”
Rip had kissed me. Me.
Yeah. Coming back was the best thing I ever did.”
woke up holding Rip’s hand.
“I didn’t mean to hurt you, baby girl.”
baby girl,
That big hand that had been right by my face moved like lightning, his palm cradling the back of my head. Before I could finish my sentence, before I could even suck in a breath, Lucas Ripley dipped his face close to mine. “I don’t dislike a single fucking bone in your body, Luna.”
“But I miss the fuck out of you, messing with me all the damn time, provoking me way too much, always fucking laughing and smiling and being a pain in my fucking ass.” What had to be his little finger grazed the nape of my neck as I stood there. “I said some mean shit to the one person in this fucking world that—”
That had me shutting my mouth.
“I want my goddamn Luna back,”
“Two fucking weeks and I want it back. You gave me these pieces of you I know you haven’t given to anybody else, and they’re mine. You can’t take ’em back. I need them more than you do, you hear me?”
Say no. Say no. Be a bish and say no.
Lenny: He kind of deserves for you to tell him to fuck off, but I’m on my period and want to kill half the guys at the gym.

“He hasn’t stuck around because of me, honey.”
YES LAWD
“Yeah, I did, Luna. You wanna go out to eat? I’ll take you. You wanna go
out and get a Sprite? Tell me. You want to watch a fucking movie? I’ll take you to the goddamn movies. If you want to go to beat the shit out of your cousin again, I’ll fucking take you. You want to meet someone to be your best friend and your fucking partner? I’m right fucking here, baby girl.”
“You’re too young. You’re too sweet. You’re too good for me. But I’m done standing around trying to suck up all the goodness you make me feel without you even knowing, Luna. You are my girl. Just you. Nobody else ever has or will be.”
