“I know that your laugh makes my heart race. The way you smile when you think no one is watching stirs something inside me that makes me desperate for more. The way your entire face lights up when you talk about Finn and Aubrey. I know what it feels like to have you in my arms, touch your lips, and fuck, I’d be lying if I said I’m not wishing for it again. I think about you more than I should. I know that you think you’re weak, but I see a strong, beautiful, and smart woman who deserves a man to worship her. More than any of that, Kristin, I should walk out and let both our lives be a hell of a lot less complicated than trying to start something, but here I am. You’re worth complicating things.”

As if I wasn’t fully aware. “I know, babe. Your wand works just fine.” “Damn right. I’ll Slytherin to your Hufflepuff tonight if you need me to remind you.”

“Oh, for fuck’s sake. My son, the player in training. I should apologize now to the females of his future. I take no credit for that one. He inherited his stupid from his father. The other bad habits are from Noah. I gave him life, brains, and then they ruined him.”

“You’re not some easy lay for me. I don’t need easy. I don’t care that you’re divorced from some asshole who treated you like shit. You’ve got a past, and so do I.

“His lips move towards mine, and I freeze. He’s going to kiss me, and I’m just standing like a statue, unsure if I want this or at least trying to pretend I don’t want this.
