Magnolia Parks: The Long Way Home (Magnolia Parks Universe, #3)

by Jessa Hastings

I think he might tell me he still loves me… Right? Surely. After how he was watching me at Christian’s bar launch — I knew he was. I was his eye kink for the entire afternoon. I felt high from it. I’ve missed the feeling of being his focus. There’s nothing quite like it in the world, that’s my conclusion at this point. And I can be angry at him, I can be hurt by him, I can be scared of him, and even with all of that still, I can want all of his attention. Which I do. All of it. I want all his attention, all his time, all his wandering eyes and lip bites. I don’t want to share those things with that Australian girl, I want them all. I wonder if we’ll kiss. Would he kiss me? Would I let him? Of course I’d let him. I hate that about myself a bit, but I would. The butterflies in my stomach at the thought of being somewhere alone with him, being at Dunstan’s with him, they’re prehistoric in size. Like bats flying around in there. Ill with jitters and nerves.
