Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Yeah, Sunshine. It’s why I quit.”
“On one condition.” “What condition?” He brings my hand to his mouth and kisses the back of it. “You come to every home game.” My eyes crinkle in the corners, and my cheeks
pinch with happiness as I fight the urge to jump into his lap and kiss the crap out of him. But I can’t help it. My enthusiasm.
“That’s the fun part, though,” he argues. “You looking like a baby deer. All needy and helpless. Me looking like a badass stag as I help you figure it out. It’s frickin’ perfect.”
He’s right. Watching him look so confident while I’m seconds from falling on my butt is sexy as hell. He owns the rink. Like he owns me.
“Far from perfect, Sunshine. But I’m glad you can see past my bullshit. Come on. Let’s grab some food.”
“You’re beautiful, Sunshine.”
Yall men need to take notes from this guy
“Is that my fucking T-shirt, Ash?” “Mia may have returned it.” I grin and lift one shoulder. “You like?” “Get over here,” he growls.
Hehehehehehe
“I lied to you, Sunshine.”
“Whoa, Sunshine.” When he sees my fear shining back at him, he cradles the back of my head with his hand and rubs his thumb along my jaw, but I don’t lean into him. “Calm down. I’m not trying to scare you. We’re good. I only want to be transparent with you––”
“I want to see you in the morning. With your hair a mess and your eyes smudged with yesterday’s makeup.” I laugh and wipe under my eyes to remove said makeup, but he stops me, his expression softening. “I want to see you in front of a class of kindergarteners, singing the ABCs and yelling at one of them for wiping boogers on their neighbor.” My chest swells, and another laugh bubbles out of me. Pushing himself up, he leans his back against the headboard, dragging me with him and tucking me into his side. “I think I might even see you in white one day, walking down an aisle toward me.”
WHEN IS IT MY TURN
“Sunshine,” he groans, tugging me closer to him. It’s awkward, thanks to our seatbelts, but I kind of love it too. His desire to comfort me. His need to make things better. To fix things even when they’re out of his control. It means he cares. And I love how he cares.
Me too
He grins. “That’s my girl.”
“My name’s Colt. Although, honestly? I don’t give a shit what you call me because I don’t care. All I care about is your daughter and her happiness.” “And you think we don’t care about our daughter’s happiness?” I scrub my hand over my face, but it’s too late to back down, and now that I’ve opened this can of worms, I’m afraid I’ve got to see it through. “No, I think you do, but I also think you think because Ashlyn moved away, your days of being supportive and present aren’t necessary anymore. And I guess, in a way, you’re right. Because she doesn’t need you. Ash is strong. And independent.

“For as long as you’ll have me, Sunshine.”
If you dont keep him ill take him
“Hey, Sunshine.” “Hey.” “You look beautiful.” He leans closer, his breath fanning across my cheeks. “Love the dress, by the way.” “Oh, you noticed?” I quip. With a low chuckle, he grabs my hip with his hand and drags me closer, kissing my forehead.
“Since I told him you were mine?”
I started dating you because I felt a connection with you. Something I’ve never felt with anyone else in my entire life. And I’ve kept dating you because I care about you. Because I love you. Because you light up my whole world, Sunshine. Do you understand?”
“You lost her because you refused to treat her the way she deserves. That’s on you. Not me. And now that she’s mine, there is nothing that will take her away from me. Nothing. Do you understand me?
“Only if I have my Sunshine in the arena.”
