Cupids Peak

by Lee Jacquot

My intentions were there, but the execution wasn’t, which is why I finished high school having to admire my girl from a distance.

But the moment my eyes meet her big brown ones, I realize how much of an asshole I’ve been. How nothing I’ve imagined or remembered has held a candle to the real thing.

Veronika’s brows furrow in the middle, as though Mia asking for a warm drink in the middle of a blizzard is outrageous. After another beat, she gives her a curt nod and turns to me, an absurdly large smile on her face. “Um, yes, of course. And for you, sir?”

I LOVE that he noticed that!!!! Brownie points for him😂

“I was staring at you, Eli.”

“The only attention I ever wanted, I’m getting right now.”

Omgggg

“I dare you to let me show you how obsessed I was with you ten years ago.”

My god this book!!!

That even after all these years, I haven’t found anyone who makes me smile or laugh or feel at home the way you did?”

But really, I wanted to make up some lost time and finally tell you how I felt back then.”

“I dare you to show me what I’ve been missing.”

Girlllll

Well, perhaps needed is a better word because never in my life have I wanted someone more than I want my fucking girl.

Say fucking less.

“My secret—my truth, Mia—is that you belong to me. Always have. Always will.”

Love this for her

“If I asked you to take a chance on us, would you?”

Omg

“After that, Eli Brooks, I want you to keep me.”
