"What? Do you not like Christmas or something?"
"Of course not."
"Well, my boyfriend would love Christmas, because I love Christmas. So you do now."

Makes sense

"... was known for having emotions that were a bit too big."

I feel called out

"... how are you not freaking out?"
"I've got lasagna in the oven"

Priorities

“Hey, Saint.” That nickname. He loved it, and he wasn’t sure he could ever express to Isaac just how much. Of everything Isaac Drake had given him, a name he could be proud of was perhaps the thing that meant the most.

“The thing that Misha called you, in Russian? It meant my son. Night, Isaac.”

“I like you. That’s why I told you. Can you just deal with that?” “Yeah. I can. And I like you, but I don’t like me. Can you deal with that?” “Yeah. But don’t think I’m not going to try to make you stop being so emo all the time, sad panda that you are.”

“Be nice to Lawrence, here. He has sad eyes.” 😩

“We were married for sixty-five years, and it felt like five..."

Where/How do I get that?

“Why would you want it to be unnatural?”
“’Cause my hair’s not as pretty as yours?” Isaac laughed.
“I don’t know. I started doing it in high school. My parents thought being gay was unnatural, so I thought it was appropriate to have unnatural hair..."

Oh baby boy

“I got a shutout, Coach Samarin made my father go away, someone gave me comics, and people talked to me like a person.” Laurent gave a very small, genuine smile. “It was the best night I’ve had in a long time.”

I'm a bit emotional, ngl

"Isaac, sucking on that lip ring of his. The image stuck in Laurent’s mind when nothing else would. The way Isaac flicked his tongue over it, pulled it between his teeth, and clicked at it."

I know he's gay, but I think I've got a crush now

"There was no way in hell it was actually happening. There were a lot of times in Isaac Drake’s life when he’d had that thought."

SAME

"Tonight, I didn’t only make Catalina Martinez laugh, but smile twice, and I’ll be damned because I’m already looking forward to when I can do it again."

I LOVE THAT HE IS ENAMORED WITH HER

"Most people in town call Catalina an ice queen, but everyone has a melting point. I just haven’t found hers yet."

Love the refreshing perspective

"... because kissing you was water in a desert, sunlight breaking the horizon, and I was gone for you, no turning back."

"I'm good at hiding the things you aren't. And maybe that sounds like an advantage, but because you've been yourself around me, in lots of ways, Gabriella, I've learned what you like and what you need. I've figured out that change stresses you and unknowns give you unremarkable anxiety."

When he sees you 🤧

"Just because you're loving them differently than they love doesn't make it any less loving. My mom says there are countless kinds of love, and love enough for everyone. That love is an infinite resource whose expressions are just as innumerable."

Love that

"I slipped up when I called Catalina by her full name. She probably thought I did it strictly because I like to annoy her, but I just think her name is beautiful."

I AM SO HERE FOR THIS

"... there has to be something wrong with him, right? No one can be that happy all the time..."

"... I dislike Luke the person. He’s annoyingly friendly, frustratingly thoughtful, and the kind of guy who could inspire a future comic book superhero, thanks to both his muscles and his commitment to helping others."

Dislike you say?

"To say things have been slightly awkward between my sister and me since she started dating my ex is an understatement, but then again, I haven’t helped matters either."

WHY SHOULD YOU

“… you, with your artistic soul and your incredible talent, your strength, your heart, your casual sexiness, your beauty that comes from inside you, too…I feel like you’re exactly the person I’ve been looking for.” Now he kisses her, slowly, gently. “So, who says we’re falling for each other? Well, I’m falling for you. Hard. And I had to say that to you.”

“who says that the second I saw you standing under the tree near my bar, I got déjà vu, like I had met you before, not just in passing—but a thousand times before. That I felt not just like I knew you, but like I would know you… Who says that the first time you touched me, it sent electricity through the rest of my body. I…”

"... and that makes your art less meaningful than mine? Just because mine is for public consumption and yours isn't?... I think that maybe makes your art pure..."

"... who just comes out and says 'I like you'..."

A GOOD ONE, MARRY HIM

"You're definitely enough, Holly. You always have been."

THIS MAN

"You weren't bad at all, you were amazing... I really admired you."

A man not afraid of saying that to a woman? I'm crushing hard right now

THAT MF ASS****

"Run." 🫦

“Mildred leaned in for a kiss and Darius only managed to stop her at the last second by planting his palm on her forehead with a loud clap.
“Not before the wedding,” he said firmly…

“These must be the Vega Twins,” she said coldly. “Well don't waste your time sniffing around my snookums. Daddy says he's saving himself for our wedding night.”

LMAO 🤣
