Do not base your academic future on a man.......
Before I knew it, my hand was striking his face. I slapped him as hard as I could.
What is withthis family and slapping
When I was younger, I used to picture my first time with Conrad.
That is disgusting
Of all the schools in all the world, we ended up at each other’s. It was fated. We were meant to be friends. We were meant to be in each other’s lives, and you know what? I welcomed
Girl no! You are seeing signs that aren’t there.
Now nobody could take that away from us, not anymore.
Unhealthy
The rib eye was the most expensive thing on the menu. It cost thirty-eight dollars. I looked at him and thought, he probably didn’t even look at the price. He never had to, not when all his bills got sent to his dad. Things were gonna change when we were married, that was for sure. No more spending money on dumb stuff like vintage Air Jordans or steak.
Another red flag
Jeremiah was watching a lot of Food Network since he’d been home.

Would I have put on that new dress and worn those heels that made my feet hurt if I truly didn’t believe he was coming?
That isn’t something an engaged woman does for her fiances brother
“His credit card that Adam pays for. If Jeremiah can’t afford a ring, he has no business buying one.”
Clock his shit Laurel
If you guys love each other that much, you can wait a couple of years to be together. And if you can’t, you for sure shouldn’t be getting married.”
Clock their shit Steven
Grinning, he shut my door.
Men are so simple
This is pretty much all I eat. Chicken. Every day.”
Men and their chicken
because he liked to sleep with the television on in the background. I couldn’t fall asleep like that, so I waited until he did and then I turned it off.
Something to work out before marriage
I slept better than I had in weeks.
Sign maybe you shouldn’t get married
Last year, it took me the whole summer to save that much waitressing at Behrs.
You are bad at saving money. Especially if your parents are paying for your dorm.
The next morning, it was gone and the dish was washed.
A man
wondered—the rest of our lives, was Jeremiah going to try and eat my last scallop or my last bite of steak? I liked finishing all the food on my plate—I wasn’t one of those girls who left a few bites behind just to be polite.
Probably
I would rather have had someone shoot me in the head with a nail gun, repeatedly, than have to watch the two of them cuddling on the couch together all night.
Agreed
Now that she was gone, he was all we had left, and it wasn’t enough.
had always been the favorite. I was our father’s Jacob, and Jeremiah was Esau.
The bible reference rocked me ngl
who tipped cheaply at restaurants, who never bothered to learn our housekeeper’s name.
I hate him more now. It’s always the rich ones
“If you’ve been late on a few credit-card bills, will that, um, negatively impact a person’s credit?” Jeremiah asked, leaning forward.
Not knowing that is a red flag
“Why are we still talking about this? You got your way, remember?”
Baby
“He ate his steak with his hands,”
Still less of a red flag than Jere somehow
What else had I remembered wrong? I was a person who loved to play Remember When in my head. I’d always prided myself on how I remembered every detail. It scared me to think that my memories could be just ever-so-slightly wrong.
When you have to make up romantic moments with your fiance because you love his brother

Do not put the onus on her here
You’re like a little boy. Someone else took what was yours, and you don’t like that one bit, so you swoop in and shit all over everything just because you can.”
Clock his shit Taylod
He looked down at me. “Are you marrying me to erase him?”
You proposed to make up for cheating on her
“Go big or go home.” “What the hell does that even mean, Steven?”
Best wedding advice ever
In my memory he would always be golden.
Like the song

Wild to admit sex is part of the issue
“He will let you down, because that’s what he does. That’s who he is.”
Fucking wild
if we had rushed into getting married because we were both trying to prove something to the other and maybe even to ourselves. But then I think no, we truly did love each other. We truly did have the best of intentions. It, we, just weren’t meant to be.
