Kindle Notes & Highlights
At the sound of Gabe’s voice, everything inside me seemed to instantly calm, and that knot in my stomach finally unraveled. He was there, he was talking to me, and suddenly my world righted itself. This was insane.
“You know, you’re being very bossy right now for someone trying to get back in my good graces.” Unable to resist, I lowered my mouth by his ear. “I’m being bossy because I know how much you like it, and I’m beginning to realize
I’ll do whatever it takes to get back in your good graces.”
“Every single second I was away. And though you didn’t ask, I have to tell you, if I’ve learned anything in the past two days, it’s that you, Gabriel Romero, are most certainly a priority for me.”
“Gabriel, mi hermoso niño. Cómo estás, cariño?” “Estoy muy bien, mamá. y tú, Cómo estás?” “Bien bien. Tu padre y yo estamos muy felices de escuchar tus noticias. Estamos muy orgullosos de ti.”
Mom looked at me and then gestured with her thumb. “El me gusta mucho para tí.”
“Tu eres el indicado para él.”
Not understanding I looked to Gabe, who frowned at his mom. “A qué te refieres, mamá?” She squeezed my hand as she turned to her son. “Él es el bajo de tu corazón agudo.”
“Eres una romántica mama.” “Tengo la razón, yo sé que la tengo. Él es el indicado.”
“Él es el bajo de tu corazón agudo means: he is the bass of your sharp heart, or treble heart. She was referring to—”
“Your necklace.” Marcus trailed his fingers down the chain to the pendant. “She thinks I’m your other half?”
That was when Gabe brought his hand to his lips and kissed his fingertips, placed them over his heart where his treble clef tattoo was hidden, and aimed his eyes up at our box as though he could see me. Then a brilliant smile crossed his lips and the lights faded.
