Kindle Notes & Highlights
“You’ve run so hard, haven’t you? Like a frightened little rabbit trying to get away from the big bad wolf.”
“I caught you, little bunny. Little prey.”
“Maybe I was just jealous that someone else was touching the gorgeous girl I’d been coming out here to watch all summer.”
“Unlike some people, I’m not stupid enough to show my face so soon.”
“You’re going to let me kiss you, pretty little bunny, and then I’ll let you out of my snare.”
“You’ve never seen me because the only thing you ever want your eyes full of is fairy lights,” he purrs.
I would say tell all your friends I say hi… but I wouldn’t mean it. You’re the only one who matters here, anyway.”
He needs to be in jail, not waltzing around the woods with a damn machete.
“You know my name?” I can’t help but ask, my face turned toward his. “Of course I do. I’ve been stalking you, haven’t I?”
No matter what he says, I can’t help but be terrified of this man. While he’s more than slightly attractive and enticing, he’s still terrifying. He’s still a serial killer.
“What makes you think I’m sleep deprived, hmm?” “Well, you made the mistake of picking the depressed girl who knows what long-term exhaustion does to a face,” I say, back on my train of sarcasm as I search his eyes for a reaction. “And it looks to me like you need a nap.”
“I… I’ll help you. I’ll be your alibi, okay?” “You’ll be my girlfriend,” he corrects, closing the distance once more until his lips brush mine. “My perfect, gorgeous girlfriend who craves her big, bad serial killer to pin her down and hunt her just like she deserves.”
“How did you know I like to eat here?” He takes another bite and replies, without hesitating, “Because I’ve been following you.” “Stalking me, you mean.” “If that’s what you want to hear, then yes, Hazel. I’ve been stalking you for weeks now.”
“You’re taking this stalker thing way too seriously.” “It’s a bit of a hobby of mine,” he admits,
“But I’m nothing—” “You’re mine, aren’t you? That means you’re not ‘nothing.’”
