Kindle Notes & Highlights
Shit, I love her, period.
“This is like a stupid joke. A hockey player and a bull rider walk into a doctor’s office . . .”
“I don’t know how well you’ll be able to finger bang me with your left hand.”
My person.
Winter and Summer . . . whoever did that to them deserves a kick to the balls.
They’re more . . . sad. Rimmed with dark circles.
What Winter is missing is love.
It’s amazing how the adults around you can fuck everything up.
No one deserves to live in a world where the only family they have are an unfaithful husband and a manipulative mom.
“Did you let that cowboy knock you up, Willa Grant?”
It came back positive for a tiny Eaton, and I just sat in the waiting room staring into space.
He’ll feel confined. He’ll be stuck providing for a woman and a baby that he never really got to be sure he wanted. Again.
“Look, Red, I’m trying not to be a domineering asshole, but I want to know what’s going on in that pretty head of yours.
And my last thought before I lose sight of him is that he deserves better than being back here again. Because he’s so damn honorable that he’ll stick himself with me and this baby. Even if it’s not really what he wants.
And he’s grinning at me like a fucking loon.
“Did I let you watch the bulls get turned out with the heifers too much as a child, boy?”
“You got something against condoms?”
“Some sort of breeding kink I don’t...
This highlight has been truncated due to consecutive passage length restrictions.
“Listen, I don’t want to hear about whatever weird shit you kids are into.”
“Then stop Eeyoring around out here with me, you grumpy dumbass. I’m going to bed. Y’all kids exhaust me.”
“That’s really romantic.”
We were happy.”
So instead, I just sit here. Thinking about my options. About how Willa is the only option I want.
But I’m heartbroken without him too.
Okay. Creepy.
But I’m oddly at peace.
I’m a smart, capable adult. I have family and friends who love me. This is just another opportunity for me to start a new chapter in my life. I’m a hot fucking mess.
My boys.
“Hi, Red,”
I’ve never fallen harder or faster for a single person in the world than I have for Lucas Eaton.
She loves us too much to leave.”
“You paying attention right now, Red? Because I’ve spent days thinking hard about my life, and I’ve got some things to tell you.”
“I think it’s cute when you two team up on me. I’ll have to make sure the new baby is on my team though. Train ’em young.”
“Me neither, Red. That’s just life. But you know, I’m not sure I’d have it any other way.”
“He asked me if I have a breeding kink.” My hands come up to cover my face and laughter shakes my body. “No, he didn’t.” “He did.”
“I love you, Cade,”
“I love you too, Red.”
It’s exhausting, you know? I have to wonder if it’s all the birth control we’re using?”
“No, babe,” Summer pipes up, “it’s just that you don’t have a breeding kink.” She can’t even get the words out without snorting and wheezing.
“What are you talking about, Rhett? I am a buckle bunny.”
My crazy person. Here for me.
“You know the rule, Red?”
“Do you think it would be okay if I called you mom too?”
“My dude, you can call me whatever you want. I know I’m not actually your mom, but I love you like one. Did you know I fell in love with you before I fell in love with your dad?”
“I love you too, Willa. Even though I think you peed your pants.”
The woman with the beautiful blue eyes who would make wishes down the well with him as a child.
“Red,”
So maybe this order is just perfect for us.
“She’s perfect,” I whisper. “Both my girls are,” is what Cade says as he crawls onto the bed beside me and holds us both.
