Kindle Notes & Highlights
If she left me, I’m going to burn the whole fucking world down until I find her, and if she took my kid, I’m really going to take my time with her.
The problem with quitting smoking is it’s really hard if you never fully quit.
“If you ever insult my wife again,” I tell him, “I’ll take my son fishing using your eyeballs as bait.”
As mad as she gets me, I secretly love it. I like it when it’s not easy.
“The only one who can bring Ivar Torrance’s father to his knees is Ivar’s mother.”
Kids in our twenties, raise them in our thirties, and ship them off to college in our forties when we’re still young enough to have the house to ourselves and still be kinky, you know?
she read some study that gifted children are usually only children or in families where the kids are five years or more apart. She wanted Ivar to have our complete attention during his formative years or some shit.
So, we made a bet. She would get pregnant if I could get her pregnant. While she was on birth con...

Not only did she completely abandon her child, but she put me in the hands of people who were evil.
She does trust me. God, I don’t know why, but…she did let me go when she could’ve turned me in. And then she rescued me and bled for me and fought with me…
“You know what a papal conclave is?”
“When it’s time to elect a new pope, every cardinal in the college of cardinals under the age of eighty is locked in a room until they can come to an agreement on who the new pope will be,” I explain.
“They started doing this, because eight-hundred years ago, it took three years to choose a new pope due to political infighting. People don’t solve problems if they’re not forced to face them, you know?
the doors are chained shut, locking them in until they solve the problem.”
We might not make the best decisions under pressure, but you can’t make a decision at all when you’re not talking about it.
“Rehab?” Possibly. They could be getting him sober and keeping it quiet.
Misha who responds. “They would tell us, because they know Will would anyway once he got out.”
What’s one more order of business to add to the conclave anyway? Nine friends locked on a boat with alcohol, spear guns, and the black ocean at night? This was a fantastic idea.
It seems the deeper we get, the more danger that arises.
The last time I stood where he stands, Will was in the water with a cinderblock tied to his ankle and Trevor was trying to kill me. Will and I were almost lost that night.
Loving someone so much it hurts.
“My woman. Sit down.”
“We can’t slaughter every problem anyway.”
We don’t break laws for personal gain. We do it for fun.
Why should I have to change my name? Who made that rule anyway? My father was a good man who left no sons to carry on the name. He deserves this.
“Will’s okay.” Alex looks over at her, a tear falling down her face. “How do you know that?” “Because he has an advantage over those other prisoners,” she tells us. “He’s been in prison already. He’s done this before.”
People want children of their own. They want to make children with the man or woman they love.
“We’re killing him,” Damon growls, and he’s probably talking to Kai. “Right now.”
How is Damon becoming my favorite
I can’t stomach the thought of you having a family with anyone else, but I don’t want to make you unhappy, either.” I’m hurting.
“Sometimes, I thought I wanted to touch you,” Michael whispers, and I feel it on the top of my hair. “Other times, I thought I wanted to kill you. I didn’t know if it was love or hate, but I knew it would change my life.”
“We will have kids. If you want them. But I will never not have you.” He shakes me. “Do you understand?”
“A world where there is no us can’t happen.”
Omission is lying, and it was hurting us.
It’s so funny. Damon quits, and everyone else starts.
I slip on some white panties
Lol i really imagined her slipping on a pair of white panties
“I love you.” I pause and then add, because I can’t help myself, “Mr. Fane.” “Oh, Jesus, fuck,” he grumbles and sits up. “I need a drink.”
Rika Crist just doesn’t sound right. He’s going to lose this one.
Like Banks—like Winter and me—Rika was unique. She was built for the wilds, and I wanted her in my family.
“New to the Crew.”
“It symbolizes a need to engage in self-destructive behavior. It’s not that uncommon.” While driving, we think, even for just a moment, about jerking the steering wheel into oncoming traffic or leaping off the balcony of a ship and into the abyss of the black water below. They’re passing thoughts and little dares we allow our psyche, because we’re tired of not living and we want the fear. We want to remember why we want to live.
