The Right Move (Windy City, #2)

by Liz Tomforde

He leans in closer across the island as he keeps his eyes locked on mine. “Are you asking where I fuck, Blue?”

🥵

For someone who doesn’t care about anyone or anything, this sure is thoughtful.

“Shay, you are the luckiest man alive. Please tell me you’re hitting that.” My head whips around to my teammate. “Watch your fucking mouth.” “Well, if you don’t try, I will.” “Dom,” Ethan warns, trying to hold back his laughter. “Ryan is about to combust, so I’d tone it back there, buddy.”

Okay Mr. Overprotective!!

“Ooooh. Protective Shay is here, and his sister is nowhere to be found. Someone write this date down. History is being made, people. Ryan Shay gives a fuck about someone other than Stevie and something other than basketball.”

Keep an eye on Indy for me. She has no clue that these guys are eye-fucking the hell out of her in that goddamn dress.

I want her here. I want her to want to be here. Fuck, when did that happen?

“Ryan Taylor Shay.” Zanders gets on one knee in front of me. “Will you be my brother-in-law?” “You’re an idiot.”

I’m done 😂😂

“Ryan, my guy, you’re so completely fucked, and you can’t even see it.”

Repeating Madison’s words to Ryan.. love it

I’m glad she’s behind me and can’t see the smile pulling at my lips. She’s fucking ridiculous sometimes and I kind of love it.

YEAH YOU DO

She’s the kind to seep into your veins and rewire your brain, making you do and say things you swore you never would.

He didn’t.

My same thoughts, Indy girl. 🥹

He doesn’t know that said scholarship is simply my personal bank account, but the details aren’t important.

That’s so damn sweet

“Are you kidding?” Rio’s eyes widen. “That was a volunteer thing? I would’ve offered months ago!”

Rio… my man. 😂😂

“You left the house for me.” He exhales a sigh. “Yeah, I seem to do that quite a bit for you.”

“I have some good news,” she says quietly, pulling me away from anyone else who could hear. “Our insurance package was adjusted at the beginning of the year and now they cover—” “Fertility treatments? Are you serious? How much of it is covered?” “One-hundred percent.” “Are you kidding me?”

Ryan, you’ve outdone yourself my man.

Eyes soften. “Hi, Blue.” Zanders squeals from the couch like a teenager.

Same, Zee!

At some point, I should probably tell her that my love language is whichever one she wants it to be so she can stop guessing. I’ll make sure that girl feels loved however she needs.

“Sometimes the quietest love is the loudest,” she continues.

“He doesn’t. He didn’t, I mean. I didn’t know he was learning.” My stare is locked on him. “I offered to teach him, but we hadn’t gotten around to starting yet.” I take a sharp inhale, attempting to compose myself. “My dad is deaf.” “Oh, Indy.” She places her hand on top of mine, the both of us watching Ryan and Sarah. “That man loves you. That right there is quiet love.”

But let me make this clear, when it comes to her, I have no issue ruining my reputation. I will burn the world down to protect her and I’ll proudly wave the match, so everyone knows I’m the one who did it.”

“Your mom texted me to check in on you a couple of days after I met your parents. I asked for her advice on the best way to start learning since she was an adult when she learned too. We’ve been video chatting once a week ever since, and they’ve both been teaching me.”

HE’S LEARNING FROM HER PARENTS?!??😭😭😭😭
