“What the hell happened to your back?” she asks. Oh . . . fuck. How could I forget about the scars and scabs on my back from Banamaor and his whip? Shit. Keeping my back toward her, I wince while saying, “Fishing line accident.” She thinks I was out on a goddamn boat all this time, might as well ride with that lie.
Why would he keep lying to her is he stupid
“You’re touching me,” she says. “I realize that,” I reply. “Told you the bed was small.” “Do you want a goddamn reward?” I ask. “Actually, yes, I would.”
"do i look like a goddamn ape" omg im geting deja vu from the first book
She rolls to face me and props her head up on her hand, looking down at me. Maybe we have an inch of space to work with. What is this bed? A full?
more like a twin with your big ass on it
“Am I in your way?” I ask her. “Yes. There isn’t any room on this thing with your big body.”
keller got that fat ass
I swallow hard as her truth falls past her lips, the truth I wish I’d have known so much sooner. I agonized over her being with someone else.

He shakes his head. “They’re not there.” He sticks his hand back in his pocket. “Marsdale . . . or the island.”
NO NO
Ottar: Get out. Now. “Fuck,” I yell as I stand. The phone buzzes again. “What?” Lilly asks, standing as well. Ottar: Head to Harrogate.

Once we’re in the air and the plane evens out, I push her legs down and place my hand on her thigh. “It’s good, Lilly. We’re good.” And then with that, she bursts into tears.
omg i think i was holding my breath that whole chapter
Lara punches Keller in the chest. Keller rubs his chest. “What the hell is that for?” “Scaring me. Worrying me. Making me care far too much about your stupid ass.”
not too much lara.
“Jesus,” Lara says. “Keller, your body.” He glances down at it and then back up at Lara. “What about it?” I chuckle. “I think she’s thinking what I am . . . how is it possible to have that many muscles.” “It’s true,” she says. “I’ve known you for a long time, and I’ve seen you work out, but this is another level.”
why is she staring...🤨 girl go look at ur own man
“Fuck,” he says and then twists to the side. “Move.” I get out of the way just in time for him to throw up on the coffee table. The sight of his body wracking from the force scares me senseless.
im getting flashbacks from when lilly threw up on brimars back after throwing scissors at his hand in the first book 💀
“Isn’t that where the hundred-year-old moss is?” Lilly asks. I nod. “Yes, acres and acres of it.” Lilly’s lips twist to the side. “Can’t moss be used for electricity?” “What?” Lara asks. “I’ve never heard of that.” “Me neither,” I say. “Hold on, someone give me a phone.” Lilly holds out her hand, and Ottar gives her his phone. She types something into the search bar and then pauses to read before saying, “Yup, there are early studies that moss can be used to generate energy during photosynthesis, it creates surplus electrons. It’s still at the early stages of testing, but with the quantity of

“So I can do this.” He points his gun at Keller. Time stands still as I watch evil overpower the look in Rolant’s eyes. Pure, unadulterated anger and disdain, oozing from every inch of his body as he smirks . . . right before pulling the trigger. I don’t have time to think, I don’t have time to question what’s going on, all I have time for is basic instinct as the trigger is pulled. I leap in front of Keller just as the most intense pain I’ve ever felt pierces my body.
NO NO NO IM SCARED RO MOVE TO THE NEXT CHAPTER NO WAY THE BOOK IS ABT TO END LIKE THIS
But I don’t bother to look. Instead, I turn Lilly over and see the gunshot wound pooling over her heart.
NO OMG IM SCARED PLEASE NO
hands on the asphalt, and throwing up. In the distance, Lara calls for help again as my stomach convulses, and I throw up once more. In seconds, I’m lifted from the ground and gently placed on a gurney while Lara speaks to someone about my head and gives them a quick rundown of what I’ve been through.
omg so much is happening

“Fuck . . . just tell me . . . is she alive?” “Right now . . . yes. But she’s coded twice. She’s on life support. It’s not looking good.”

“Keller, you just had brain surgery. You can’t go anywhere.”
BRAIN SURGERY? Omfg
But with each passing day when she doesn’t move or respond to my touch, I fear the worst, that maybe . . . maybe she’s not coming back to us.

shes gonna be alive if she is dead i think im actually going to be crying for days
“We were trying to gain the truth. We didn’t know they were going to shoot. I honestly didn’t think they had it in them.” “You didn’t?” Lara asks. “After everything they put you through? You didn’t think they would shoot?”
i didn't think theyd shoot either. my jaw was on the fucking floor
“They will know how you’ve overcome the odds and how you came back to me, because we’re supposed to be together, Lilly. You and me. Like you said . . . we matter most.” Tears fall down my cheeks. “We matter most, love.”
im scared...theres 3% left in the books and shes not awake yet
“He’s glad she hasn’t declined in health, but he’s also worried that she hasn’t made any progress in a month. He’s worried that . . . that the machines she’s on are keeping her alive, keeping our hopes up, but there—”
NO PLEASE IF SHE DOSENT WAKE UP BY THE END OF THIS CHAPTER IM ACTUALLY GOING TO BE PISSED
We should move on and think about the future of Torskethorpe. But she’s the future. She’s it. She will pull through this.
“Lilly, love, can you hear me?” I wait, my breath stilling in my lungs. Please . . . please show me any sign that you’re here with me. Anything. And then . . . her thumb moves again. I sob as I bring her hand up to mine and kiss it.
OMG 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Her eyes soften as she looks me up and down in my wedding suit.
🤨🤨🤨lara ?
“You look so handsome,” Lara says, walking into the room
NOT TOO MUCH LARA.
“Yes, she’s in her room. She wants to see you before you leave for the temple.” “Everything okay?” Lara smiles. “Yes, everything is great.”
omg what if she's pregnant guys
“No,” I say, tears springing to my eyes. She nods. “No, this is a joke.” She chuckles. “It’s not, Keller. You’re going to be a dad.” I run my hand over my mouth in awe as I stare down at the positive pregnancy test. “This is for real?”
YES I KNEW IT I KNEW IT
IF THERE ISNT A PART 3 TO THEIR STORY IM GOING TO CRY
I can be loved. I can be cherished. I can dedicate my life to the country I love. I can be a husband. I can be . . . I can be a father.
I once believed we were royally in trouble, that our lives were diverging rather than converging. But through those trials we learned so much about each other. We also found strength within that we had no idea existed. With my beautiful Lilly alongside me, there’s harmony even when there’s chaos. There’s joy even when there’s trouble. If I’ve learned one thing, it’s that a well-loved life becomes a well-lived life. And that’s my plan forevermore.
