Kindle Notes & Highlights
God, I miss his family. His mother would knit me socks—
Because if I acknowledged that he was a jerk, then I’d have to give up on the rest of his family, too.

Levi’s looking at me in a way that I cannot comprehend. Because no one has ever looked at me like that.

I’m not a victim—
Bee. :(
“And then he and Annie—”
No forgiveness.
“You didn’t marry him. You never married him.”
I cannot make out and pulls his hand back, as though all of a sudden my skin is scorching him.
“Nope.” “Since when?” “Now.”
He smiles, a little smug, and a terrible thought occurs to me: I’m going to regret whatever’s about to happen.
“Hush, or I’ll sign you up for the Meat Lovers 5K.”
The meat lovers? That is foul!
Together.
As you should.
Giggling because the waitress served mine with a heart-shaped straw.
“Guy.” “Poor Guy.”
Da da-Tsss.
He spent fifteen years long-conning me into loving him,
He came to college with me. And grad school.
“He’s the real secret of your academic success!”
Guy knows he’s cooler.”
He is a cool Guy.
astronauts I’ve met are very down to earth—”
I bet they are!
“Too tall.
Whaat?
I briefly contemplate the notion that neither Levi nor I fall within astronaut height requirements,
Another factor to have in common with your nemeses!
“I was so relieved, my friend and I got passed-out drunk that night.”
I’m grateful every damn day for those two extra inches.”
I am happy for you Levi. It is not your job to keep your family proud. Do what you want to do. Do what you have to do.
God. Oh, God. I think I like him.
To watch The Empire Strikes Back.”
“That’s not vegan,”
HAH.
I am mesmerized by the shadows the TV light casts on his face.
The atmosphere is perfect for kissing. :-)
And I like looking at him.
“That’s because we don’t.”
“Since you clearly have a fetish: every time you mention this nonexistent enmity I supposedly feel, I’ll add a mile to the race you owe me.”

I kind of like him.

with a huge pleased grin that I cannot interpret.
Yes Sam, yes.
I’m so happy for you. I’ve been hoping for so long, and finally, such an incredible—”
What’s the point of having a lab brunch if you two aren’t there?
Could you you invite Tim and Annie, please?
“Okay, Daddy.” I realize the blunder only once the words are out of my mouth. Since I can’t take it back, I turn around and walk out of the conference center, blushing. Oops.
and your not-so-sister.
You're not a good person Annie.
Now it’s fucking Hamilton, baby.
Are you visualizing this? Are you feeling the deep unpleasantness of the situation smack inside your bones?
I’m at when Timothy William Carson comes to stand in front of me and says, “Hi, Bee.”
Goodbye Tim. Go away. Far, far away.
I want to kick him in the nuts.
He’s also gripping his shoulders tightly, fingers digging painfully into Tim’s flesh as he murmurs something in his ear.
Levi you sweet man.
Levi pulls out my chair.
