Just read Henry’s chapter on Valentine’s Day ( now I’m lonely and sad), moral of the whole chapter FIRSTPRINCE ARE SO HUSBANDS VIBES. little notes because Casey is such a legend who write things I don’t understand from the first time ;):
*alex gifting Henry an apron and Henry always learning how to cook for Alex💔
*alex and Henry packing up their brownstone rather than paying someone to do it because Henry doesn’t want to let anyone into the intimate trappings of their lives( this hits hard knowing how the whole world knew about them)
*David having anxiety even though he’s an emotional support dog😭😭
*henry feeling with Alex at their home the same way he felt with his family when they all slept under one roof ☹️
*”seeing Alex in the flesh will always do this to him” GOD I UNDERSTAND
*the whole description of their brownstone( reminded me of the TikTok trend where everyone shown their stuff)
*”hes always been sure Alex was singular”
*all Henry’s boys having an ASS
*oscar wearing a shirt from Henry’s mom(that’s a family your honor)
*”if you say one more word I may start crying “ I think I’m starting to relate to Henry
*alex finding angus unattractive even though he looks exactly like Henry( LOVER BOYYYY)
*just them wearing each other’s clothes
*”and that’s when Henry knows” when Alex shoveled a massive bite of pancakes into his mouth(when you know you know)
*both of them buying an engagement ring 🥲
*arthur telling Henry” whoever you marry make sure THEY..” the way he told him in an indirect way the he doesn’t care about his sexuality 💔
*”its 2024 and nobody knows they’re engaged “ ITS 2024 BITCHESSS
*henry being the best dressed at the met gala(I know that’s right)
*henry having ptsd after the emails leaked( he’s becoming my comfort character)
*alex kissing Henry’s knuckle below his ring (….🚶🏻‍♀️)
*henry choosing the brownstone for the windows because Alex always talked about the ones he grew up with and he wanted Alex to feel at home (ENOUGH ENOUGH)
*”the way I won’t have to miss you nearly as often “ this being the best part of getting married in Henry’s opinion
*henry picturing Alex as a Texas dad after seeing a photo on their new home ( he’s so real actually)
*the weeding being a private ceremony at the lake house and not a royal wedding ( i support this)
*”baby done talk dirty to me in front of company “ I love Alex so much omg
*THE FUCKING COWBOY HAT and the whole description of it and it being a big deal to Alex ( cowboy like me started playing what a coincidence AAAAA)
FIRST PRINCE YOU ARE EVERYTHING TO ME
