Kindle Notes & Highlights
I got to go through the pilot door. Cool. I did my best to look grim, since cool guys take special treatment like that as a given.
Jacob blinked, just a smidgeon more pointedly than he normally would have. I took that to be shorthand for a drawn out, long-suffering sigh. And maybe an eye roll.
There we were, Jacob and me. We weren’t exactly spooning anymore. It looked more like he’d taken a sudden header and pinned me to the bed, where I decided it was futile to try to squeeze out from under him, so I might as well surrender and get some shut-eye myself.
“I guess that’s why I figured it was some kind of shield. From the way it looked like you were trying to protect me, even though we were asleep.”
he pulled me against him, pressed our foreheads together, and said, “That’s amazing.” His voice was so full of awe it brought a lump to my throat.
Every sensory detail I experienced reminded me I was no longer home, and I’d been ripped out of my comfort zone. Jacob, though…Jacob felt right.
If I couldn’t figure out how to make my face convey my feelings, I suppose I’d need to settle for words. “You know how much I love you, right? I don’t say it enough, I know. It’s…I…” I sighed. “I do. And I’ve never felt like this before. About anyone. Only you.”
While my face was the white noise of the facial expression continuum, Jacob’s was more like a symphony. His eyes softened and went all smitten, and he grabbed me by the shoulders, pulled me against him and stopped just short of kissing me hard, and instead, brought our lips together soft as a whisper while his whole body trembled with tension.
