Kindle Notes & Highlights
There was just something so irresistible about getting under her skin—I was a kid in a candy store around Ellie Fournier.
“That’s because it’s all bullshit created to scare you into watching more news, so they can solve the problems they made up in the first place.”

“It’s almost worse, knowing that kind of love exists, but worrying you’ll never find it. Like maybe if I hadn’t seen it in real life, I’d think it was only in fairy tales and I’d be willing to settle for less.” She shrugged. “But I’ve seen it. And that’s what I want.”
But I knew three things. I was going to be a father. I was going to be a good father. I was going to do everything in my power to make things right between Ellie and me. I’d always trusted my gut instincts, which usually told me when it was time to move on to the next place, take the next risk, chase the next thrill. But today when I’d heard that little heartbeat and saw those tiny feet and looked into Ellie’s brown eyes, my gut hadn’t told me to run. It told me to stay.
“The dad books don’t tell you about this, you know?” “About what?” “Just . . . this.” My eyes got watery, and I cleared my throat. “How much love it’s possible to feel. How protective you’ll feel. How you can’t imagine there was ever a time in your life you didn’t want this.”
He is so cute
