Before We Came (Lakes Hockey, #1)

“cake eater.”

between this and characters named Banks and Conway, me thinks the author is a mighty ducks fan???

Jack has been acting fucking weird since Bridget came home. It’s like he’s gatekeeping her. He says they are trying to keep it “just family” right now. Well, then what the fuck does that make me? He wasn’t the only person to lose her. Since when am I not family?

okay yeah, that's confusing. why would he be against lonan coming over to reunite??? like he was clearly important enough to call and tell that she was back, but not important enough to get to see her immediately???

The fuck is this dude’s problem tonight? Does he know?

...jack...what is your issue, dude???

“No, I don’t know that. You’ve never had a serious relationship. You chew women up and spit them out.”

okay, this would make sense if jack wasn't already acting weird about lonan seeing birdie already... like wtf

which is why I called the news stations to leak her story.

oh lonan, i was with you until this. what the actual fuck, dude

Then I see that there’s also a pack of AA batteries leaning up against the side with another note that says, For your toolbox.

HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

This is payback for sleeping around—bad karma.

ugh, i kind of hate that mentality. he was single and available. there's nothing wrong with hooking up!

Seeing her walk in like sex on heels while I sat in jeans, a tee, and a slouchy cardigan was humiliating.

AND YOU'RE THE ONE HE WANTS!

At the very least, it would be a distraction and might help dissipate the sexual energy between Lonan and me. It’s just one drink.

grrr noooooooooo

The walls of my vagina constrict

omfg 🤣

“Are you just my friend when you’re riding my cock like it’s made for you?”

🥵

How temporary is his love?

good lord woman are you fucking stupid??? he LOVES you! if it was just to keep you here for your green card, he would have just told you that! but he WANTS to marry you! he's been talking about the future with you!!!

Me: Hey. I need your help with something. Nikki: Oh, now you need me?

oh you fucking idiot

I want to know he still wants me. I want to undo all the things I said to push him away. I want to be good enough for him.

BY GOING TO THE GALA WITH A DATE?!?! how fucking stupid can you be???

“So . . . is this you giving up, then?” He seems pretty annoyed that I came here with someone else. I laugh. “Hell no. I told you, she’s it for me. I’m just giving her space to figure that out for herself.” He purses his lips and nods slowly. “I see. You’re trying to expedite the process with jealousy. Bring around a bunny so you can woo my sister. Makes perfect sense.”

thank you, Jack! also, for besties, y'all don't seem to talk that much..............
