chapter 32 is where. it’s. atttttttt. 😮‍💨

okay chapter 28, i see you 🤭

ughhhhh i just want what wilder talks about on the last page of chapter 24

“you done?”
“with what?”
“this little fucking game. i’m on my way to pick you up. when i get there, i suggest you come outside, or i’m going to walk into that fucking club and carry you out, all of my players be damned.”

ooooooo happy birthday maisieeeeee, i already know you’re about to get the best present hahaha

nahhhhhh wilder you fucked up man

i’ve never had an ounce of self-restraint in my life. clearly, or i wouldn’t be here in the first place.
and i’m so fucking done.
“goddamn it. fuck it,” i grunt, my palm sliding up to her throat and curving around the delicate slope tightly as i haul her flush against me.

we LOVE a fuck it moment

“i’m a selfish motherfucker, and i always have been. i want maisie delacroix to myself.”

“you should stop staring at me like,” she murmurs. “like what?” “like you’re going to break your own rules, Coach.”

SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP

“i promise, but that means you can’t either. fair is fair.”
i nod. “kori?”
“yeah?”
“one day, when you’re old like me, happy places won’t just be in books. they’ll be real. and you won’t have to pretend anymore.”
i need her to believe the lie. even if i don’t.

annnnnnd the sad tears are back

not wilder making kori promise to not call people dumbasses🤣

what whiplash, going from sobbing my eyes out to crying from laughing so hard in a matter of like 3 sentences

kori telling wilder a “secret” about how she reads a book and pretends she’s in that world instead sometimes when she’s scared or feels lonely and then hitting him with “but i don’t want my new mom to find out because then she might want to get rid of me, so you have to keep it a secret, okay?”

MAREN IM UGLY CRYING AT 4AM BECAUSE OF THIS😭😭😭😭

wilder opening up a little bit to kori about his time in foster care 🥺 my heart strings are being pulled so much

“how old are you?” i ask.
“nine. how old are you?”
“thirty-four.”
“wow. that’s really old.”
i cut my gaze to her. “thirty-four is NOT old, kid.”
“uh, yeah, it is,” she retorts, placing her palm on her hip. “life expectancy has gone down in the last few years. you’ve got another fourth years at best. fifty if you’re lucky.”

kori is savage😭🤣 and a little morbid💀

“where’re your parents at?” i finally ask.
“dead.”

this kid is killing me omgggggg

“dumbass,” i mutter beneath my breath once hes out of earshot.
“why’s he a dumbass?”
my gaze swings lower to where the voice comes from, and i find a little girl with blonde pigtails and wearing a toothless grin blinking up at me.
shit.

I AM CACKLINGGGGGGG

“with one last lingering brush of my knuckles on her smooth skin, i step back and exhale…”have a good night, miss delacroix””

man you fucked uppppppp

"i meant exactly what i fucking said. you ARE a distraction. not for them, but for ME.”

wheeeeeeeew chile 😮‍💨

maisie’s email is everything

that epilogue is crazyyyyyyy. honestly, stan debbie

“I was just one in a long line of faceless, nameless coeds.”

SO IT IS WHO I THOUGHT IT WAS!!!

“You deserve this,” I whisper to the sleeping man on the sofa.

IS THUS WHO I THINK IT IS?!?

“I burst out laughing. I can’t help myself. It’s entertaining watching him try to squirm his way out of this one.”

honestly, same

well that was unexpected and definitely not who i thought it would be….

ooooooop debbie’s getting caughtttttt

not the broken neck😭 although who am i kidding, he deserves that

“Anyway, what I will do to him will be much, much worse.”

girlllllll not you going after a child, like i know or protecting your daughter but whattttttt

he deserves that, i hope his life is more miserable than it already is

not the cops at the school👀

“But I’m fairly sure I know why the police are here. This is going to be interesting.”

debbie, girl, did you do what i think you did?
