Kindle Notes & Highlights
“You’re very affectionate,” he said, gaze catching mine. “You know that?”
a light hand landed on my knee. He didn’t give it a reassuring squeeze like Ben used to; he just let it rest there…which was somehow even more calming. Warmth ignited under his palm, and I felt myself wanting to twine our fingers together. “You’re affectionate, too,” I murmured, and when Wit looked at me, I smiled. “Just an observation.”
“Your plan,” I corrected. “Our plan,”
Yes, I thought. I want to smile and laugh with him… My heart flipped, realizing that wasn’t all I wanted to do. I also wanted to kiss him.
but straightened up when he saw me.
“You have very nice lips,” I said. Amused, he put down his glass to encircle me in his arms. “I do?” “Yes,” I nodded, then whispered, “I kind of want to kiss them.” “Kind of?” He laughed. “Only kind of?”
“It’s not even seven!” Pause. “But, like, good for you, man.”
“And by the way,” he murmured, kissing me back, “I don’t want Eli.” His hands went to my waist. “I want you.”
“I know you don’t like hearing this,” I heard him say, “and I know I promised not to tell you, but you are pretty, Killer. You’re pretty, beautiful, stunning, mesmerizing.” He paused. “But that’s not all you are. You’re everything Claire said and more. Clever, funny, caring, lively, strong, brave—all of it. You are all of it.” He kissed the top of my head. “And I do know how much you adore me,” he whispered. “I just wish it was as much as I adore you.”
“Because I adore you, Stephen,” I murmured. “I adore you, but I love you even more.” “As much as I love you, Killer?” he asked, grinning at me in the moonlight, his smile so crooked and perfect.
