Kindle Notes & Highlights
Everything hurts when it comes to Theo. My heart. My pride. My confidence.
She’s so fucking…infuriating. But gorgeous too. Like a tornado. Or a storm. A tsunami, maybe.
“Purple.” With a laugh, I repeat, “Purple?” “Yeah. It’s a recent realization.
“I think you want a guy who pushes you. A guy who eggs you on. A guy who doesn't let you barrel over him. Someone who looks at you like an equal. Someone who challenges you.”
“You want a guy who can break you, Blake,” he rasps, his voice low and gritty and shooting straight to my core. “One who grabs you by the throat and squeezes as he enters you. One who treats you like you aren’t made of glass. You’re different than other girls.”
“Stop looking at me like that,” she orders. My gaze flicks to hers. “I’m not––” “Like I’m breakable,” she clarifies. “Stop looking at me like I’m breakable. Use me, Theo. Because we both know it’s what I’m doing to you.” Fuck. If she wanted to stab me in the chest, it would’ve hurt less.

Then again, I’m in love with Theodore Taylor, so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.

“But you’ve always loved the Rockies,” I remind him.
“And I always will. But I love you more. I think the Lions contract is a better fit for us. Not me.”
“Apparently, the right girl can make a guy do just about anything.”
“Has anything else grown on you?” I ask.
“Just my best friend’s annoying little sister,” he murmurs.
