Kindle Notes & Highlights
“And how long have you despised me?” His eyes are swallowing me whole. “From the moment I met you.”
“He’d been trying to psych himself up to ask her out for months before we came up with this stupid segment. That’s why he was always so pissy when she went out on dates with other guys. He was jealous.”
“I could hear you say that until the day I died and it wouldn’t be enough.”
“Love, this was never about Amy. It was about me. I was scared of you.”
“But I couldn’t stop myself from falling in love with you, even if I tried.
“I know you’re right for me, Layla. I’ll spend the rest of my life proving it to you, if that’s what you need.”
“Go blank. You look so guarded.” Her eyes narrow. “I’ve been your friend for years. I’m one of the only people you let see what you’re feeling, so stop trying to hide it from me. I’ve earned it, goddamnit.”
“Being your friend was better than nothing.”
Kissing Layla feels like taking off a heavy backpack, or finally getting to lie down after spending hours on your feet. It feels like waking up for work, and realising that it’s the weekend, and you can spend all morning in your warm bed. It feels like safety, and relief, and happiness. It just feels right.
“Turns out, you can have more than one boyfriend! I’m starting a collection.”
