Kindle Notes & Highlights
What was it with men and fish pictures, anyway? Couldn’t they choose something more creative, like cage diving with sharks? Also marine animal-centric, but less mundane.
“I see you’ve recovered from your bout of syphilis long enough to sucker another unsuspecting woman into a date.” I directed my next words to the brunette. “I don’t know you, but I already know you could do way better. Trust me.”
“Better hope you don’t get sued for medical malpractice, Joshy, or I’ll be the first to offer my services to the other party.”
I was somehow not surprised Jules had turned the tables on her would-be mugger. If she got kidnapped, the kidnapper would probably return her within the hour due to sheer irritation.
“Considering I’m a struggling medical resident and you’re a fucking millionaire, I’m getting the short end of the stick,” I grumbled. “Don’t insult me. I’m a billionaire,” he said.
“If she’s going to die on me in the middle of the night, I need to know so I can plan my sleep accordingly.”
“You’ve delivered me home safe and sound. Five stars for service, two stars for conversation,” I quipped, inserting the key into the lock. “I’d give you one star on the latter, but since you saved my life, I’m being generous.”

When I am with her, I want that moment to last forever. She makes me want to be a better person, and when I think about a world where she doesn’t exist…” His jaw flexed. “I want to burn every inch of it to the ground.”
“Tell anyone I said that, and I will skin you alive with a rusted knife to prolong the pain.”
“Because you’re mine,” I said against her mouth. “Let another man touch you, Jules, and you’ll find out just how easily I can take a man’s life as I can save one.”
The great thing about having a morally questionable best friend was that they didn’t question you when you did morally questionable things.
“My sister’s rubbing off on you. You actually sound human.” “I’m good at imitations.”
“Speaking of which, I also have a proposal for you.” “Alex.” I clutched my chest. “Ava’s not gonna like it if you propose to me too. Bigamy is illegal in D.C.”
