“I still can’t believe it,” I said, my fingers wrapped around a mug of hot cocoa.
I can't either.. Pays off to have some book history knowledge
“You should be working at Tomes, Lilah,” I blurted out, with a sudden pressing urgency. “I mean it. Whether I stay or leave, you deserve to have at least that much go to you.”
??? Her dad specifically wanted her though.... Not Delilah as sweet as she is.
“Then I’ll make sure he knows he has my blessing,” I said, reaching for her hand on impulse. “Okay? I know I haven’t exactly been generous with you in the past, and maybe . . . no, definitely that’s my bad. But I really do want this for you.”
... Uh.. Ok.?
“If you do stay,” Delilah said eventually, breaking our companionable silence, “can I just say I hope it’s not only because of the communion? I hope you stay because you really love it here, and you can’t imagine putting down roots anywhere else. Because that’s what this town deserves, Emmy. And those of us who live here, too.”
She is sweet but i find the gifting away the bookshop so very odd for someone who loves books
“Thank you for this boon, Harlow,” she said, so formally my chest constricted. “My family is in your debt. And whatever else they may say about us, Avramovs never forget our friends.” So I was Harlow, again, and worse yet, a friend.

“I cede the wreath, and all that it entails,” she continued, “to my champion, Emmeline of House Harlow. The next Victor of Thistle Grove.”
! oh damn ok i see how it is
My nana was the first to reach me, wrapping me in a ferocious hug as she declared, “You frigging crushed it, my Emmy . . . I’m so goddess-damned proud of you, peep!”
Nana a real one here
“And thank you, for loving me. Even when I didn’t deserve it.” “I know you, don’t I? Always figured you’d deserve it eventually.”
Lollll
