Status Updates From Vaughn

Though I'm a few pages in, I feel like it's more of a quick summary. Probably, because I just read most of the development in the previous book.

“You don’t have to do a goddamn thing to keep my attention. It’s all yours; whether you’re right in front of me or half a country away.” “You might want to tone down the charm,”
. “I mean every single word, Allie.” “I know.”
“But if you keep saying things like that to me, I’m going to fall for you.” “You won’t be alone because I’ll be right here to catch you,” he promised.

I’d never have thought to go to the pier, but I’d had the time of my life with her at my side. I’d thought I was genuinely happy before I met Allie, but with her in my life, everything seemed more vibrant somehow.

Allie shut me down when I pulled out my wallet to pay for our unlimited ride wristbands. I liked how take charge she was because it was equal parts adorable and sexy as fuck. She kept me on my toes, and I loved it.

“You can drink as much as you want; you never have to worry when you’re with me. You’ll always be safe.” “Darn!” I snapped my fingers. “There goes my plan to find a hotel to stop at on the way home.” “Not until date five, baby.”

“Just because I’m not drinking doesn’t mean you won’t want some of the bubbly.” He poured a glass and handed it to me. “And it’s my job to make sure you get what you want.” My throat suddenly felt dry, so I gulped down half of the glass he’d just poured. “You seem to always know the perfect thing to say.” “I better. That’s why they pay me the big bucks.”

“When she spoke, I had to refrain from doing a victory jig. “I surrender. I can’t believe you want this or that I’m agreeing to do it, but okay.” Best fucking thing I’d heard since the night before when she agreed to go home with me the first time.” - Vaughn

“My favorite food is macaroni and cheese, followed closely by bacon—and I feel like I hit the jackpot when there’s bacon on top of my mac n cheese.” - Allie

“I was known for being a dynamic and unflappable interviewer, yet for the first time in my career, I fumbled for words and struggled for coherence.”
