Kindle Notes & Highlights
Most people would look at Scarlett Marks and think she was broken. Maybe there were a few cracked and scraped pieces, but this woman was not broken. She was lost. Tired. Alone. But not broken.
“Are you a good man?” Luke stared down at me, his dark blue eyes unwavering. “If you don’t know the answer to that already, I guess I’ve got some work to do.”
“Please don’t leave.” I narrowed my gaze. Never in my life had someone included please when reciting rules. What was the catch? “Okay,” I drawled.
My books in the office were no longer organized by time period, but alphabetically by author last name. She’d spouted something about libraries and bookstores and convention. I’d walked away midsentence.
That’s mean lol 😂😂😂
Her chair. Even after she left here, that would be her chair.
The woman was turning my world inside out. And I really didn’t mind.
“A sound machine. I had to stop by the hardware store today. They had these on a display. You said you wanted to fall asleep to the sound of ocean waves and it’s supposed to have a setting.”
Fuck. Me. 🥹😭😭😭 Luke you’re fucking perfect.
Scarlett could undo me with those blue eyes.
Better hurry up and let me beat you so you can get back home. She’s waiting.
I love Emmett lol
“I don’t want another woman.”
“The only woman I want is you.”
“Scarlett, tell me to stop.” “No.” “I’m doing my best to stay in control here.” I jerked my hand to my side, closed my eyes and gritted my teeth. “Scarlett—” She leaned in close. The whisper of her breath skated across my chest. “Lose control, Luke.”
*in love*
“Luke.” I poked him in the side. “Tell me.” “Do you trust me?” “Yes.” The word came without hesitation.
We live in a gray world and you’ve got to pick the shade closest to white. So do what your heart tells you.”
There’s justice for Scarlett. And it outweighed the injustice. A million times over, this was right.
“I’ve never been in love. What’s it like?”
We hadn’t gotten pregnant on a rainy day—maybe next time, if we were so blessed. This house needed babies.
I liked to think we’d made this baby on the river.
