But something about his clenched jaw, broad chest, and surly demeanor intrigued me—along
surly demeanors get me too girl
“I bet he’s one of those guys with a hard shell and a soft center,” I rhapsodized to my cat. “Someone who acts tough but has a big heart beneath his armor. A beast just waiting for his beauty!”
it's giving very much "I can fix him"
but we just hadn’t loved each other enough to make up for lost time, for our differences, for failed expectations, for hurtful things that couldn’t be unsaid.
It certainly seemed like some people were able to figure it out. Maybe it was the luck of the draw. Or maybe it helped to grow up like Chip had, in a house with a mom and a dad in a good marriage.
Marriage was a fuck ton of work, and I hadn’t been good at it, but damn—divorce was a bitch too.
I was already in my pajamas, curled up on the couch with Piglet watching When Harry Met Sally for the one millionth time.
my sign to watch this movie
It was Dex, and he had a chocolate Frosty in his hand.
“So you date a lot of selfish assholes?” “Indeed, I find their narcissism irresistible.”
“Hot grumpy neighbor.”
“Don’t be afraid to do things that seem scary. Even make mistakes. It’s how you grow and learn.” I smiled. “Spoken like a true dad.”
the theme of the book right here
Being with him was so easy.
This is what it's all about
“Look at you being a nice guy.” “I know.” He put his grump face back on. “Don’t fucking tell anyone.”
Never tell lol
“Every night she hears Rex snoring really loud and making other scary ogre noises. The ground trembles when he walks.” “Because he has giant muscles?” “Because he has giant feet.”
The girls keep me laughing
Yes, she was young, but I even liked the things that reminded me of her age—like her adorable laugh or the bounce in her step or the way she and the girls used slang words or talked about songs or celebrities I’d never fucking heard of.
“But I’m not bringing anything. You’re making me look bad.” She laughed. “You’re bringing me. I got you.”
Leave me alone.” Hating myself, I shouldered by and went back outside.
Military men will really treat you like the enemy.
Fuck, did anyone survive childhood without wounds?
Hello, heart? This is brain. We’d like to remind you of the rules on this ride.
I was so far removed from that stage of life, where anything seems possible and all your dreams are still alive.
Relatable
He sewed my dress, and he brushed my hair, and he cooked for me—badly, but he tried—and he’s so protective and brave and determined to be a good father . . .
I’m an idiot. Come back. I love you. Stay with me.
That's all you had to say!
“You’re the only brother I’ve got, and you’re always in my corner. I hope you know I’m always in yours.”
I missed her with an ache I hadn’t felt since losing my mom.
When I looked back, would it matter that I was strong enough to keep my heart in a vault? Would I be proud of that? Would I wear my loneliness like a badge of honor?
I loved her enough to believe there might actually be a happily ever after.
“Yes, we made it happen,” said Luna triumphantly. “With our noses.” “What?” “Winnie taught us how to cast magic spells,” Hallie explained.
“That guy over there is telling Winnie that he’s sorry and he loves her, but he’s at the wrong house,” said the girl. “I feel really bad for him.”
LMAO
“I know I’m too old for you, and you could have anyone you wanted—someone with a bigger bank account, someone younger and smarter, someone with way less baggage.” “Someone less hairy,” said Hallie. “That doesn’t snore,” added Luna.
CTFUUU
But Winnie, that fear was nothing compared to how scared I’ve been that I lost you forever.
Real
When I think about my life and how I want to live it, you’re there.”
“I want to take care of you,” I said gruffly. “I know you don’t need it, but I do.”
💪
“Of course not.” My eyes filled as Luna and Hallie came and stood behind their father.
The kids proposed too??🥹🥹🥹
