“Words were tumbling out. All I could think was how do I stop her crying? How do I take her sadness and make it mine?”

his POV btw. He’s so poetic like wow. Makes sense since he’s an English major

“When I told him he’d get better soon, holding his hand over the hospital bed as the skin on his hands became thinner and his cheeks hollowed out. Even when sick, he still managed to make the nurses laugh.”

Holy shit this hits hard when u relate to it

“Because when you find out the person you’ve been in love with for your entire life loves you back, you’ll spend the rest of your life making up for lost time.”

“I did make us dinner reservations for the day we got there.”My heart stopped and my head whipped up. “What?”“I’m coming to Paris with you.”   “You’re going to fly in with me?” I asked with hope.“No, baby. I’m moving to Paris with you.”

“I blushed before laughing.“I hate you,” I muttered.“You love me,” he argued.“I do,” I succumbed”

“The whole book,” he breathed. “Every poem in there is about you. Everything I wrote came back to you.”
“I…”
“This is about me?”
“Every. Single. Word.” He breathed those words like they had been prepared for months.”

“All of it! The part where you say you can’t be around me; the part where you said you have to leave this friendship for the same reason four years ago; the part where you say you love me and are going to leave. As if I’d be alright with that!”

“He held his hand up, showing me a letter—my letter—and it looked as if it had been folded and unfolded numerous times.
“What is this?”
.“An apology.“
“1. I told you that you never owe me an apology. 2. I almost showed up at your house at 4 AM because I have read this over and over and over and it still doesn’t make sense.” He was fuming.”

Wait I want this to happen to me

“Something wordy with a flower in it…”“Well, I’m just going to go now. I’m happy you were able to pick—”“That’s it! That’s it! Picking Daisies on Sundays.”

THATS THE NAME OF THIS BOOK🤯

“I saw the daisies on your desk. Should I assume those were pretend then too?”“He was just being nice,” I shook my head.“What about the day he called to ask me for my strawberry shortcake recipe”

He’s so down bad bro

“Please stop,” I whispered.He laughed quietly before his lips reached the crest of my ear. “Maybe break up with that boyfriend and I can make my own call to Lazaro for you.” Levi. I was this close to him last night, but it felt nothing like this. He should be on his way.”

the ducking audacity of m*n

“You think I didn’t notice? I know you better than you think. Not using your mother’s name because you don’t want to be compared to her; the constant need for approval; never designing clothes that fit you because you don’t think your body is good enough. I doubt I’m the only who’s noticed, but I am the only one who is willing to help you.”

Wtf Ethan

“I didn’t know which was harder: to be told you deserved love from someone who wasn’t in love with you, or to pretend like they never said it at all.”

“Why did you ask me?”He didn’t hesitate. “Because I needed an excuse to see you again.”The surprise was blatant on my face. “Why?”He laughed quietly. “I could write a book on why.”

“Dani, you will give me a heart attack if I have to think about you going home by yourself. My mind will wreak havoc on me, and I will think of the absolute worst that could happen, so I beg you to please save me some sanity and just stay the night.”“I was going to say okay,” I said with a smile.He groaned in embarrassment and hid his face before laughing. “Why don’t I ever just shut up?”

“You bought me flowers,” I said pulling away. “Thank you.”“I’ll buy you flowers every day for the rest of my life if it makes you this happy.” ”

“You need to read it.”“I’m not reading it.” And that was that. I made up my mind. I wasn’t going to touch the book again, let alone look at it, for the sake of Levi’s privacy.”

“Daisy?” Oliver said in surprise, like he was putting together pieces of a puzzle where one had been missing. He turned to Levi with a narrowed gaze before asking me, “Have you read Levi’s book?”

“Levi tried making one earlier but failed epically,” Claire said, sounding like her older sister.“Levi hates strawberry shortcake,” I said with confusion.“You like it though,” Claire said.”

“I needed to be honest with myself. “The kiss was a mistake. I let my feelings take over and—”“But Dani, he kissed you,” Gabe urged with exasperation”

“You intoxicate me, Daisy. The scent of flowers lingers on you everywhere you go, and I always want to follow,” he murmured against my neck. That. I wanted to hear that every morning, day, night, daydream, and nightmare. I wanted him to say it to me in French”

“He ignored my humor. “Everywhere we go, people are infatuated by you, looking at you and yearning to talk to you. I,” he paused for a long moment. “I am infatuated by you.”

“Daisy,” he moaned in between our lips.And then it hit me like a train, right then I realized, I was madly, deeply, undeniably in love with him. I loved him so much that my heart was pounding against my chest, trying to reach his to tell him.”

“You need to stop apologizing for what you say. I wanted to tell you that you looked beautiful because you are. I knew I wouldn’t miss you when you walked in tonight because you’re you. You’re so physically enthralling, let alone when you speak. And when you speak, all of the light in the room comes from you. You’re absolute sunshine and spring. I could watch you speak—”
“I need some air,”

“I just don’t think he has good intentions.”“I don’t care what you think, Vi! That’s my advisor. I see him every single day, do you know how awkward that’s going to be now? You don’t get to be mad when you were busy talking to some other girl anyways.” ”

“It was a painting of a pale, well-dressed woman. She wore a voluminous dress that overtook her plush chair; seated at a desk in front of a window, she clutched flowers and a note. It breathed of sunlight; each color used in the painting had a yellow or orange hue. Reading the plaque on the wall, it said: “Love Letters” by Jean Honoré Fragonard.
“When I look at it, all I see is you.”

“I punched him,” he shrugged, perfectly satisfied with his answer as he pulled his shirt on. “He kept saying things like that about you. I told him to stop, then he made another joke about it, so I punched him. We both had detention, his was just longer than mine.”“You’re insane.”“I would’ve done it for any of my sisters.”

Sister zoning her now 🤦‍♀️

“You didn’t think so at the time. You didn’t want to tell anyone about what he was saying to you because it wasn’t ‘a big deal.’” I could practically see his air quotes through the door.“Well, he got detention like a week later for something he said to another girl.”
“He got detention Dani because I punched him.”“You what?”

“forgotten. “Were the poems about Bella?”He must’ve not understood what I was asking about at first, because he didn’t answer immediately. After a moment that felt like minutes, he said, “Yes.”

We know damn well it wasn’t abt Bella dpmo

“I didn’t know where Gabe was getting this idea of Levi being interested in me when Levi’s been writing love poems the past four years about the numerous women he’s dated. But fine, I’ll humor him to prove a point. ”
