Kindle Notes & Highlights
don’t believe in fate. I can’t. I refuse to believe that first Mom and then Dad dying was part of some grand scheme. If that’s true, whatever’s at the end of my rainbow isn’t worth what it will have cost me.
“Get off me, you cow!” Addison says just loudly enough for me to hear. I grin down at her as I take out my mouthpiece. “Just playing by the rules. Moo, bitch. Moo.”
In fact, accommodating me is not that hard. If you want me on your damn show, make it possible for me to be included. That’s it. It’s that simple.
“One day I’ll show you my New York.” I lean my head against his shoulder. “I’ll show you mine if you show me yours.”
“I was lying about cheating off you,” he says. “I just wanted to be close enough to do this.” His lips touch mine as the waitress begins to call off bingo numbers, and there aren’t many things I’d choose over dumplings, but this kiss would be it.
“Henry? Don’t come in here! I’m naked!” He chuckles. “Was that supposed to be a deterrent?” “Yes,” I say with uncertainty. “Did it work?” “Sadly, yes. Don’t worry,” he says. “I’m staying right where I am…. I just…I guess I just wanted to see you.”
And there it is. I fell in love. I’m in love with Henry Mackenzie. I always assumed I would have a difficult time knowing if I was in love. What if I didn’t recognize the signs? Or what if it wasn’t as intoxicating as the whole world has built it up to be? But, for me, it feels very simple. It’s the kind of thing I know with just as much assurance as my birthday. It’s not something I feel lost in or confused by. It’s a truth, and some truths hurt more than others.
