“Marry me, Elizabeth Josephine Kensington.”
“Yes,” “Yes, I’ll marry you.”

Epilogue!? Excuse me wtf 💀

“…You’re dealing with challenges he never did—with problems he created. Your loyalty to your family is admirable. But don’t let it overtake your own ambitions. Your own happiness. You can be a doctor and a duke, if you so choose. Focus on the options you have, not the limitations.”

“…It’s not going to be easy. That’s not a reason to give up. That’s a reason to fight harder. She’s stubborn. You want a chance? Be stubborner.”

“People say complicated like it’s a bad thing,” Mom muses. “But it just means more effort is required. And there’s nothing worth having, Lili, that doesn’t require some effort.”

Charlie has so much going on, it breaks my heart 🥺

“Why’d you walk away in the hallway at my grandparents’?”
“Because I was losing control.”
“I had all my clothes on.”
“You wreck my control just by existing, Elizabeth Kensington.”
“That’s either the nicest or the meanest thing anyone has ever said to me.”
“You’re welcome.”

“If she asked me what my favorite color was, the honest answer would be whatever mysterious pigment her eyes are.”

“This version of Lili is very different from the woman who left scratches all over my back and then climbed onto my lap because I wasn’t fucking her fast enough. And the one who haughtily forgot my name—multiple times. I like all three versions.”

“So much for you offering to walk me to my door to be a gentleman.”
“You don’t want a gentleman, Elizabeth.”
