“… when there’s a sharp knock at my door. Pushing up from the couch onto an elbow, I frown in the direction of the sound, wondering who the hell thinks 1 o’clock on a Saturday afternoon is a good time to stop by unannounced. This is prime nap time? What if I were napping?”

“He looked at me like I was the crazy one for bringing up Gilmore Girls when he really needed to know that it was alway right to bring up Gilmore Girls”

“I was head over heels in something with Declan Powell, damn it. So what the hell was I supposed to do about it?”

“His brain is like poop. Everything sticks!” 💩

“And when we aren’t thinking? Oh, those are all our very best moments, when we’re wasting our lives? It’s an act of magnificent rebellion to do meaningless things, to waste time, to swim and drink soda and sleep late. To be silly and frivolous, to laugh at stupid little jokes and tell stupid little stories”

It turns out, to his horror, that Louisa isn’t at all afraid of index fingers, because she isn’t an elevator button.

“I live about a mile that way,” he says, throwing a thumb over his shoulder. “My favorite pizza place won’t deliver outside the city limits, so I’ve been moving this sign of our driveway before they finish construction and cement it back into the ground”.
“You’re moving the city limit? For pizza?”

“She said, when I needed you most, you’d come blazing into my life like a meteorite, riding on a wave of chaos that would turn my whole world upside down. That you’d shine so brilliantly that you’d light up hell itself and guide me out of the darkness. She had no idea what your name would be. Just that you’d have dark hair, and a beautiful smile. And that I’d love you with a fierceness despite myself”

“Urgh! Do you have to be so difficult?”
His eyes danced. “It isn’t mandatory, but I do enjoy it”
