Practice Makes Perfect (When in Rome, #2)

by Sarah Adams

I am convinced dating was created by an evil villain to torture humanity.

I wave him off while still digging in my purse. I look up when I hear a throat clear and see Will’s shoulder pressing lightly against John’s chest, keeping him from walking away like he was apparently attempting.

After a sleepless night, it’s finally a normal hour to get up for the day. Five a.m. (Okay, so it’s normal for me at least.)

You're not cutesy or quirky for waking up at 5. That's not even that crazy.

“No. Absolutely not. You deserve more than the kind of guy you went out with, and I’d die on this hill. You’ll find someone who sees you for who you really are.”

Yeah. You... Catch up

James clears his throat. “Why do I feel like I just missed out on an important opportunity?” Because you did. Now, get lost, she’s mine.

😊🤭

“Tell you what, Annie. We’ll get you your committed relationship and your white picket fence, and if for some reason it doesn’t feel right and you want that adventure after all—” He looks at me. “Call me and I’ll come hold your hand on the flight.”

“No, Annie. Don’t get it twisted. I already think you’re sexy without a tattoo. So I know for sure you would be with one.”

You and your black-as-tar coffee are sexist

The town put together a petition to vote on your and Will’s relationship,” says Emily.

Gilmore dis u?

I’m terrified to admit that holding her in my arms is the closest I’ve come to feeling truly happy in a very long time. I didn’t even know I was lacking happiness. But now that I’ve realized it, I can pinpoint it with scary accuracy.

“A lot of cold and flu products there, William. Feeling under the weather?” Mabel. She’s everywhere. “Uh—no, ma’am.” “Then why do you need all this cold medicine, hmm?” says Harriet, lifting her brows to her hairline. “Are you planning to make drugs with them?” I frown at the single box of Tylenol Cold + Flu Severe. “I think you’re thinking of the medicine that contains pseudoephedrine.” Her eyes narrow on me, down to my tattoos and back up to my face. “You would know, wouldn’t you?”

we love a protective queen ♡

Do I want brownie points? Dammit, I do.

Ofc you do

Will, the one man he’ll never live up to.

New fear unlocked 🔐

“No one likes the rhubarb pies, Noah. Just give us dirt in a cup next time.”

I'll have your pies Noah

“I will not sit down,” Mabel says indignantly. “Actually, I will, but only because my hip is acting up and I want to sit down. But not because you told me to.”

Mable is her

“Wow, Annie…you look…incredible.” He whistles

Eghhh 😒
