Kindle Notes & Highlights
It never occurred to Olive that Dr. Adam Carlsen—known ass—had called her by her name.
GIRL HOW DID YOU NOT NOTICE
“Fine. We can say that you broke up with me.”
How are you in a STEM progrAm and still stupid
“Zero. But I am familiar with the trope.”
ME TOO GIRL
“Yep. I’m so glad he finally scrounged up the courage to ask you out. He’d been going on and on about this ‘amazing girl’ for years, but he was concerned about being in the same department, and you know how he is . . .” He shrugged and waved his hand. “I’m glad he finally managed to pull his head out of his ass.”
Olive is to stupid to take this information in properly
Holden must have been referring to someone else. And Adam must have feelings for that someone.
Told you
She sighed. “ ‘Carry yourself with the confidence of a mediocre white man.’
4+4
It wasn’t until a few minutes later, when she was sitting on her bed staring at the Boston skyline and chewing on her lunch, that Olive realized that the protein bar Adam had given her was covered in chocolate.
THE SUBTLETY OMG I LOVE YOU ADAM
“You are not mediocre, Olive. You were not invited to speak because people think that you are my girlfriend—there is no such thing, since SBD’s abstracts go through a blind review process. I would know, because I’ve been roped into reviewing them in the past. And the work you presented is important, rigorous, and brilliant.” He took a deep breath. His shoulders rose and fell in time with the thudding of her heart. “I wish you could see yourself the way I see you.”
<3
“You’re so big.” He groaned into her neck. His entire body was vibrating with tension. “You can take it.”
“I’m going to kill you,” he gritted out, little more than a growl. “If you say another word about the woman I love, if you look at her, if you even think about her—I’m going to fucking kill you.”
OMG OMG OMG OMG O M G
“I am going to take care of this,” he told her. There was something determined, earnest in his eyes. Olive had never felt safer, or more loved. “And then I’ll come find you, and I’ll take care of you.”
YESSS ADAM
Whatever it is that you’re crying about, I will fix it. I will make it right.
i NEED him like actually
